Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, is designed to enhance both appearance and function of the nose. It can refine proportions, correct structural issues, and improve breathing for a more balanced and natural look.
Rhinoplasty with Dr. Ahn can address:
With Dr. Min Ahn, patients benefit from a customized approach that blends advanced surgical technique with artistic precision. Every procedure is tailored to complement your unique facial features and achieve results that feel authentic to you.
At Ahn Point Facial Plastic Surgery, we recognize that every patient’s nasal structure, aesthetic goals, and functional needs are unique. As such, Dr. Min S. Ahn offers a variety of rhinoplasty approaches, tailoring each procedure to ensure it harmonizes seamlessly with your individual features and aspirations. Understanding the differences between these techniques can help guide you toward the option that best aligns with your vision.
Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils), allowing Dr. Ahn to lift the nasal skin and precisely visualize the underlying structures. This approach is often ideal for more intricate reshaping, as it provides greater access to cartilage, bone, and supporting tissues. The result is a refined and balanced transformation that suits more complex cases.
Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions hidden entirely within the nostrils, offering a more discreet surgical experience. This technique limits direct visualization of the underlying structures but can be highly effective for patients requiring subtle adjustments. Because there are no external incisions, swelling may subside more quickly, and you can often enjoy a shorter recovery period.
For individuals who have undergone nasal surgery in the past but remain dissatisfied with their outcome, revision rhinoplasty offers a second opportunity to achieve the desired aesthetic or functional result. Dr. Ahn’s experience and meticulous approach allow him to thoughtfully reassess the nasal framework, correct lingering irregularities, and restore balance and symmetry.
This modern technique focuses on maintaining essential support structures within the nose, promoting natural, long-lasting results. By preserving the nose’s innate architecture, Dr. Ahn can deliver subtle refinements that age gracefully and blend seamlessly with the rest of your face, ensuring you retain what makes your features uniquely yours.
For patients experiencing breathing difficulties caused by structural issues, functional rhinoplasty addresses both form and function. In addition to refining the nose’s appearance, Dr. Ahn carefully corrects deviations, collapses, or blockages within the nasal passages. The result not only enhances aesthetics but also improves airflow and comfort, ensuring your nose looks and feels better.
You may be a strong candidate for rhinoplasty with Dr. Min Ahn if you:
During your consultation, Dr. Ahn will carefully evaluate your nasal anatomy, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. His detailed approach ensures your treatment plan is safe, personalized, and designed to achieve lasting, harmonious results.
Most initial swelling subsides within a few weeks, but it can take up to a year for subtle refinements to fully emerge. Patience is key as your nose settles into its new shape.
Incisions are typically placed inside the nostrils or in discreet locations. Over time, any faint scars usually fade, becoming minimally noticeable.
Yes, if you have structural issues, like a deviated septum, rhinoplasty can be performed to enhance airflow, alleviating nasal obstruction and improving breathing comfort.
Most patients resume light activities within a week or two, gradually increasing their level of activity as advised by Dr. Ahn based on their individual healing progress.
