Rhinoplasty can dramatically improve facial appearance by making the nose more symmetrical to the rest of the face.
What can we expect?
At your initial appointment, Dr. Furze performs a thorough assessment of the nose. Based on the client’s unique anatomy, he then decides which of the two techniques would be most beneficial for the client: Open or Closed Rhinoplasty. Open Rhinoplasty involves incisions at the base of the nose whereas a closed rhinoplasty uses specialized scopes that enable him to perform the procedures through the nostrils.
The procedure typically lasts under 2 hours. Due to the expected swelling and bandages, it is normal for clients to feel some pain and discomfort after the procedure. It is advised that clients stay home and recuperate for at least 5 days after the procedure.
Rhinoplasty is best scheduled during summer or spring break. The whole recovery phase may last anywhere from two to four weeks during which regular follow-ups at the Facial Plastic Surgery in Orange County should be attended to ensure that everything is going as planned.
Dr. Alexis Furze and his team are experts in helping teenagers find confidence through rhinoplasty. They offer support for the parents and the teen by ensuring that they receive the proper education and care throughout the process.
