Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills with William C. Harris, MD
Give Your Nose a New Look
The nose is the most defining and prominent feature on the face, however, it should be in harmony with and not distract the eye from the rest of the face. A Rhinoplasty, also known as nose job, is a common plastic surgery procedure that modifies your nose's size, shape, and profile to improve its aesthetic appeal and functionality.

Your Options
During a surgical rhinoplasty, two primary techniques can be applied. Depending on your situation and objectives, one strategy may be more preferable, even though each has benefits and drawbacks of its own. The methods utilized to perform a nose job are classified as "open" or "closed."
The Open Rhinoplasty Procedure is the traditional method with excellent visualization provided of the nasal structure. To provide access to the nasal cavity, Dr. Harris makes a very small incision between your nostrils and opens the nose. The skin is raised during the procedure to reveal the nasal bones and cartilage.
Only internal nasal incisions are used in the closed rhinoplasty approach. These are utilized to expose the nasal bones and cartilage so they can be restructured. The recovery with the closed approach is frequently quicker, but there are fewer options for modification, particularly in changing the size and contour of your nasal tip and skin.
Aesthetic & Functional Options
It's highly common to dislike your nose for its size, shape, functionality, or overall appearance. As a result, Rhinoplasty is a procedure that thousands of people inquire about each year. Rhinoplasty can help address aesthetics concerns, but also has other health related benefits. Of note, rhinoplasty can improve breathing and alleviate sinus-related issues, such as restlessness.

Find Relief
Most candidates for Rhinoplasty are in generally good health. However, before you choose to have surgery, there are a few important factors to bear in mind. Every nose is different and there are limitations to what can be done surgically without compromising the functionality of the nose. For this reason, it is critical to find a surgeon with extensive knowledge of the nasal anatomy as well as training in both cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty to ensure that your basic nasal function is maintained. Ultimately, Rhinoplasty surgery is an excellent option for patients looking to balance their facial appearance, restore symmetry, or improve breathing. Oftentimes, patients that have undergone trauma are also ideal rhinoplasty candidates after completion of the initial healing phase.
Open Procedure For Your Best Results
Dr. Harris does not use a one size fits all approach. He looks at each of his Beverly Hills rhinoplasty patients individually because no two people are exactly the same and neither are their surgeries. He will listen to your goals and together you will review computer rendered images to give you a better sense of what can be achieved with your rhinoplasty. A comprehensive plan will then be discussed to determine the best approach to improve the appearance of your nose.
Dr. Harris will call you the night before surgery to alleviate any concerns and answer any questions. On the day of surgery, Dr. Harris will then review the surgical plan with you one final time prior to your procedure. General anesthesia is typically used during rhinoplasty procedures and you will therefore not feel any pain throughout your surgery. Whichever approach Dr. Harris chooses will depend on the scope and objectives of your surgical plan.
Depending on the approach chosen, Dr. Harris will make incisions inside your nostrils or across the columella (the skin bridge that separates the nostrils). Through these incisions, he will have access to the bone and cartilage that lie beneath the skin. After that, he will shape your nasal bones and cartilage to achieve the ideal shape based on the goals discussed during your consultation. Dr. Harris is an expert rhinoplasty surgeon who provides beautiful and natural results while keeping your nose in harmony with the rest of the face.
Permanent Results
After your operation, there will be some bruising and swelling. The swelling may take months to fully go away, but after some time most people stop noticing the swelling. You can return to your regular routines and resume most all activities after a week or two. A rhinoplasty permanently changes the form of your nose, and the results typically last for the rest of your life. However, if you experience trauma, the shape of your nose may change. Additionally, as you age, your nose will gradually change over time.
