Rhinoplasty in Naples, FL

A rhinoplasty is an aesthetic treatment used to change the size and appearance of the nose. Furthermore, it may help repair a functional or breathing issue in many patients. Naples, FL aesthetic plastic surgeon Dr. Andrea Basile is an experienced cosmetic nose and facial surgeon who performs rhinoplasty surgery, taking a conservative approach to allow for the softest and most natural results. Although rhinoplasty consists of delicate changes, results tend to be appealing and dramatic. Cosmetic nose surgery at Basile Plastic Surgery can be recommended to make a nose appear smaller in size or change a nose that is aesthetically unappealing due to size, shape, or a deformity. The objective is to allow for a more cosmetically pleasing nose that meets your desires and functions well.

Adults and teenagers over 16 years of age are candidates for cosmetic nose surgery. If you find yourself frustrated with the appearance of your nose and have distinct issues you hope to improve, enhance, or correct, this procedure may be the ideal course of action. It's very important that expectations are understood, as your nose and facial profile will be altered. Furthermore, facial growth and maturity should also be complete. This will be addressed during your consultation, even more so for adolescents.

Nose surgery is performed while the patient is under sedation, such as general anesthesia, and is in most cases an outpatient procedure. This treatment offers different surgical methods depending on your aesthetic goals and concerns. Dr. Basile performs rhinoplasty using either an open or closed (endonasal) approach. The objective during the procedure is to decrease or eliminate excess bone, cartilage, and tissue, or to build and increase cartilage if necessary for reconstruction. The nasal features are repositioned and the skin is draped over the newly structured framework. Stitches are positioned either on the inside portion of the nose or within the natural external fold.

Upon completion of your cosmetic nose surgery, you will rest comfortably in the recovery suite, and then we will release you to recover at home. The nose and the surrounding area will be swollen, bruised, and sore for the first few days. In almost all patients, there is some discoloration beneath the eyes in addition to the nose. Consistently using cold compresses and inflammatory medications can assist with these effects. Your post-op check-up with Dr. Basile will be scheduled within a couple of days after surgery to assess your healing progress. It takes around 2 – 4 weeks to look normal following nose surgery. Within this timeframe, strenuous exertion should be avoided.
