Rhinoplasty is a procedure that sculpts the nose, changing its shape and/or size. It can be performed to meet cosmetic goals or for reconstructive purposes such as after trauma or with breathing problems. Small changes in the nose can often have a significant, noticeable impact on your overall appearance. Therefore, Dr. Coan will work closely with you to learn how you would like your nose to look, to evaluate the structure of your nose and face, and to explain the factors that can influence the procedure and the results.
There are two basic approaches for rhinoplasty – closed and open. The closed technique involves placing all the incisions inside the nose. The open approach includes incisions inside the nose as well as a small incision between the nostrils. This external incision usually heals inconspicuously. The open approach allows for more predictability, flexibility and surgical precision. It is recommended when several significant changes need to be made.
When performed for cosmetic purposes this surgery is frequently combined with the placement of a chin implant or neck contouring to create facial harmony. Rhinoplasty, or nose shaping, may also be combined with surgery to address functional breathing problems such as those related to a deviated nasal septum. For more information on addressing and preventing breathing problems associated with rhinoplasty call CARE Plastic Surgery in Durham or Mebane at (919) 484-4884.
Will I be able to Preserve my Ethnic Look if I Have a Rhinoplasty with Dr. Coan?
The cities of Durham and Chapel Hill and the surrounding areas offer a wonderful racial mix and diverse cultures. More demand has arisen for plastic surgeons to be concientious of ethnic variations and considerations among patients seeking rhinoplasty. Patients come to see Dr. Brian Coan with the interest of improving aspects of their nose while not altering the defining features that add character to their overall facial symmetry and harmony, rather than seeking a bland-looking nose that is attractive, but lacks character.
Rhinoplasty Testimonial with Dr. Brian Coan:
“First of all I can breathe through my nose better than ever before! I used to have to do breathing treatments several times a day and have panic attacks due to the lack of air I was getting. I now can sleep through the night and can even smell again! I also really love how cute it looks, I have seen pictures of other Surgeons work and it all looks the same just on different faces–Dr. Coan’s not only a wonderful surgeon but a skilled artist. I appreciate how he changed the structure of my nose so I can breathe, but also tailored it to look like me again only better! it looks so natural and I love it!”
