Who Is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Ideal candidates are healthy, non-smoking individuals who seek to enhance nasal appearance or improve breathing. Common goals include fixing a crooked bridge, reducing nostril size, or refining a bulbous nasal tip. Emotional readiness and realistic expectations are key. Rhinoplasty is generally recommended after facial growth is complete around age 15-16 for girls and 17-18 for boys.

How Rhinoplasty Is Performed

The procedure is conducted under general anesthesia and typically lasts between 1 to 3 hours. Dr. Fozo uses either a closed (internal incisions) or open (small external incision across the columella) approach to access the bone and cartilage. Nasal structures are then reshaped for aesthetic and/or functional improvements.

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

There are two primary surgical techniques:

Dr. Fozo selects the technique best aligned with your goals and nasal anatomy.

Recovery After Rhinoplasty

Initial swelling, bruising, and mild congestion are expected for the first week. Most patients return to light activity within 2 3 weeks, but final results may take up to a year to fully settle as internal tissues heal.

Post-Surgery Tips:

Ethnic and African American Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty respects cultural identity while achieving facial harmony. Dr. Fozos techniques are tailored for patients of African, Asian, Hispanic, or Middle Eastern descent.
