What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, otherwise known as a ‘nose job,’ is a surgical procedure that can reduce the size or shape of the nose (or address both at the same time). For decades, rhinoplasty has been one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the world.

The most positive attribute of this procedure is that it is customizable and can be tailored to the patient’s individual needs. During the consultation for their rhinoplasty in Cleveland, patients will get a chance to express any and all concerns to ensure that their desired outcome is achieved.

Dr. Frankel’s Unique Approach to Rhinoplasty

No two noses are the same, and so the approach to rhinoplasty should never be the same. Dr. Frankel loves using his training and expertise to personalize the surgery for the specific individual’s nose. He is meticulous and never rushes through a rhinoplasty. He performs every nose job surgery with the full intention that it will be the only rhinoplasty the patient ever has, and that the results will last a lifetime.

Why Choose a Rhinoplasty?

When you undergo a nose job, you’re having a surgical procedure to change the shape and size of your nose to achieve your desired aesthetic. In most cases, patients request this surgery to correct an irregularity such as asymmetry, nasal bridge hump, or a nose that they consider to be too large for their facial proportions. Besides attracting unwanted attention, these abnormalities can detract from the beauty of your face, as well as cause lowered self-esteem.

Whatever the reason for your nose surgery, we will take time to explain what you can expect before, during, and after your rhinoplasty in Cleveland. Using the most advanced techniques, Dr. Frankel will customize your rhinoplasty procedure based upon your unique anatomical features, facial structure, and goals to create a natural-appearing nose that promotes facial harmony.

Who is a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Individuals who have concerns about their nose, including functional or aesthetic imperfections, are candidates for rhinoplasty. Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty in Cleveland should meet the following qualifications:

Are generally in good mental and physical health
Have no serious medical concerns, such as a bleeding disorder
Do not smoke
Are not taking or are safely able to stop taking blood-thinning medications
Have realistic goals and expectations about what a rhinoplasty procedure can achieve

“I believe that a good-looking nose is a natural looking nose. I expect my patients to be told they have a great nose — not that they’ve had a great rhinoplasty.”

Rhinoplasty Procedure Details

Dr. Frankel has multiple advanced techniques at his disposal when it comes to rhinoplasty in Cleveland and he will choose the best approach for each specific patient. Closed rhinoplasty involves making incisions within the nostrils where scarring will later be hidden from view. This approach can benefit those who need more subtle changes in the bridge, tip, and nostrils.

Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the columella at the base of the nose. Scarring in this area is virtually undetectable after surgery. This incision allows the surgeon to lift up the skin and tissue in order to gain full access to the internal nasal structures. Thus, this approach is ideal for those requiring more in-depth changes to the nose.

Dr. Frankel may also choose to employ cartilage grafting and other advanced techniques during your surgery. Once Dr. Frankel has addressed your concerns, the incisions are closed using fine sutures. Surgery typically takes 2-3 hours in total and is performed under general anesthesia.

In all cases, he will use his artistry and expertise to craft a natural-looking outcome that is balanced with your other features and that fulfills your unique vision for your appearance.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

Your initial meeting with Dr. Frankel is very important because this is where he will listen to what you dislike about the appearance of your nose and what you would like to achieve with your nose job in Cleveland. He will take your full medical history to assure your safety, determine the best surgical approach, and will also take photos, which he will study before the procedure.

Dr. Frankel will also perform a thorough nasal airway exam to identify any functional or structural issues that may need to be addressed during surgery. He will show you morphed imaging to ensure that your expectations align with his surgical goals.

Morphed imaging will give you an idea of what you will look like after rhinoplasty. Dr. Frankel and his staff will take the time to educate you on the procedure and recovery so you have clear expectations and a solid understanding of everything involved.

Rhinoplasty Recovery

After rhinoplasty, patients will need a friend or family member to drive them home and assist them for the first 24 hours of the healing process. Bruising and swelling are to be expected after surgery, but you will be provided with prescription pain medications to help ease discomfort. It is important that you follow your personalized aftercare plan carefully to experience an optimal outcome.

For the first few days of recovery, you will need to keep the head elevated. Most patients can resume work within 7-10 days, provided that their job is sedentary. Strenuous activity and exercise should be postponed for at least 3-4 weeks. Dr. Frankel believes in extensive follow-up, and he will schedule you for regular visits to ensure your recovery is progressing properly and that you are content with your results. Patients should remember that it can take up to a full year for all residential swelling to dissipate, so it’s important not to judge your results too quickly.

Dr. Frankel: Your Rhinoplasty Surgeon

Dr. Frankel loves the boosted confidence that patients have following their rhinoplasty procedure. As a double board-certified surgeon in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive surgery as well as Head & Neck Surgery, he comes from a background where he has been trained to always respect the function and structure of the nose, and he believes that aesthetics and function go hand-in-hand. Rhinoplasty is a technically challenging surgery, but Dr. Frankel performs several of them a week — with consistently happy patients and great results. He combines his extensive training, ongoing pursuit of continuing education, and attention to detail to achieve excellent rhinoplasty results.

The Different Types of Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed to improve the size, shape, and symmetry of the nasal features. Cosmetic rhinoplasty achieves a shapely nose that complements the other facial features without drawing undue attention, achieving attractive facial balance.

The primary purpose of cosmetic rhinoplasty is to address aesthetic concerns to achieve a more attractive nose. However, a cosmetic rhinoplasty can also address functional concerns such as a deviated septum as a part of the procedure.

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Functional Rhinoplasty

Functional rhinoplasty addresses problems in the external or internal structures of the nose. Structural blockage and other issues can impair smooth, easy breathing, causing concerns such as excessive snoring.

The primary purpose of a functional rhinoplasty is to return the function of the nose so that breathing is easy, snoring is resolved, and the nose and breathing functions are in excellent working order.

Functional Rhinoplasty

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is performed to resolve errors made by a previous surgeon. Either too much work or not enough was done, causing visual problems and leaving you unhappy with the results of your original rhinoplasty.

Because revision rhinoplasty requires exceptional skill and technical experience, you will need a highly trained facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty procedures.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Male Rhinoplasty

Male rhinoplasty achieves a prominent, masculine nose to achieve distinctive, masculine features. Male rhinoplasty achieves a larger nose with its tip between 90-95 degrees from the upper lip. This is a different desired outcome than for women, who usually prefer a smaller nose with a slightly elevated nasal tip.

For men, rhinoplasty has become more common as male plastic surgery has become an accepted way for men to take control of their image and achieve their ideal appearance.

Dr. Frankel’s personal preference is for a nose to look improved, but as natural as possible.

(When Dr. Frankel evaluates a patient’s profile, he always looks at chin projection.) Some patients may elect to have an upper lip lift at the same time as a rhinoplasty.
