What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and enhance the appearance of the nose, bringing better balance and harmony to your facial features. In some cases, it can also correct structural issues to improve breathing. Whether you're focused on refining the look of your nose or addressing functional concerns, rhinoplasty offers customized solutions for natural-looking results. At John L. Clayton, MD at Southridge Clinic Plastic Surgery, Dr. John L. Clayton combines surgical precision with artistry to create outcomes that reflect your goals. If you're considering rhinoplasty, contact our office in Riverton, UT to start your journey today.
How Do You Perform Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty involves precise surgical techniques to reshape the bone, cartilage, and soft tissues of the nose. Dr. Clayton carefully customizes the approach based on your goals, whether that includes reducing the size of the nose, refining the nasal tip, or correcting breathing issues caused by a deviated septum. Incisions are typically made inside the nostrils or discreetly along the base of the nose, allowing for minimal visible scarring. Rhinoplasty surgery usually takes several hours under general anesthesia with most patients able to return home the same day.
In the lead-up to your procedure, Dr. Clayton will provide detailed pre-operative instructions to help you prepare for rhinoplasty. These include steps to avoid certain medications and advice on how to care for yourself in the days leading up to surgery. Recovery after rhinoplasty typically takes about 1 – 2 weeks, during which swelling and bruising are normal. Dr. Clayton will give you clear aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.
What Are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty offers both aesthetic and functional benefits, depending on your needs and goals. This procedure can help balance your facial features, enhance your confidence, and improve breathing if medical concerns are present. Some key benefits include:
- Improving the shape and proportion of the nose
- Correcting asymmetry or nasal imperfections
- Addressing breathing difficulties caused by structural issues
- Enhancing overall facial harmony
The cost of your rhinoplasty may be covered by insurance if you're having it done for medical reasons (to correct breathing issues, for example). Be sure to ask our team about payment options and financing to help offset your rhinoplasty costs.
Rhinoplasty Reviews
Every step of the way Dr. Clayton was so helpful and reassuring. His services were great I am a returning patience. Had some moles removed. Then returned for a nose operation: rhinoplasty, Rhinosseptoplasty and bilateral turbinate. Remember the first thing I said when I saw my new nose for the first time was “Wow this looks better then expected”. Then I couldn’t stop giggling with delight and a sigh of relief; knowing every effort to make this operation happen was worth all the pain, time and cost. Thank you to Doctor Clayton, nurses and staff for their healing treatment and professional care. Thinking of returning for a mommy makeover later this year.
Great Experience - Dr. Clayton is very kind and caring. He is always running on time or early when I come to my appointments, which is very convenient. I had a Rhinoplasty about a year ago and he was very nice before and after the procedure and genuinely cares about all his clients
