What is Teenage Rhinoplasty?
Teenage rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and function of a teenager's nose. This procedure can address concerns such as nasal asymmetry, bumps on the bridge, and breathing difficulties. The goal is to achieve a balanced, natural look that complements the teen's facial features and supports their self-esteem as they grow into adulthood.
Achieving a Natural Look
What is the Teenage Rhinoplasty procedure like?
During your initial consultation, we will discuss your teenager's goals, medical history, and meticulously examine the nose to ensure facial growth is complete. If deemed appropriate, he will develop a personalized surgical plan.
We will perform the teenage rhinoplasty in our award-winning AAAASC-accredited surgical center under general anesthesia on the day of surgery. The specifics of the procedure will vary depending on your teenager's needs, but may involve:
- Strategic Incisions: Precise incisions, often hidden within the nostrils, are made to access the underlying nasal structures.
- Reshaping the Nose: Cartilage or bone sculpting techniques may refine the nose size, bridge, or tip while preserving facial harmony.
- Natural Appearance: We prioritize subtle refinements that complement your teenager's unique facial features.
- Closure and Splinting: Incisions are meticulously closed with dissolvable sutures, and a splint may be placed on the nose for support and to maintain the new shape during healing.
