“Reading about how rhinoplasty is performed alone is not as effective as understanding how different rhinoplasty problems were handled,” says Dr. Sadati. Patients can expect to find before and after pictures of a real Orange County Nose Job patient with excessive nasal tip projection. Some people want to fix their crooked nose, change the tip size, fix nasal symmetry, slim the width, remove bumps, shorten the length and even correct a botched nose job. California patients will now be able to compare these specific issues to their own and see examples of the final result on-line.
In performing rhinoplasty surgery, a closed or open approach is used. A “closed” rhinoplasty, using incisions hidden on the inside of the nostrils, is indicated for relatively minor shape adjustments to the nasal bone and cartilage. An “open” rhinoplasty uses a small and inconspicuous incision underneath the tip of the nose and between the nostrils. This is connected to incisions inside the nostrils. These cleverly hidden incisions allow Dr. Sadati to “open” the nose and sculpture irregular contours of the underlying bone and cartilage very precisely under direct vision.
Planning for Rhinoplasty surgery begins with the first patient consultation. Dr. Kevin Sadati will ask the patient what bothers them about their nose and listen carefully to their priority of concerns. Next, he will examine the patient’s nose, taking into account their individual facial characteristics. Finally, Dr. Sadati will formulate a treatment plan in his mind.
About 15-20% of the time a rhinoplasty is performed, a chin implant is recommended to the patient to perfect their results. Oftentimes, patients are unaware of how much their chin affects their profile, relationship with their nose and overall facial harmony.
The night before surgery, Dr. Sadati will review the notes he’s made on each patient, their pictures, computer images and his operative plan. He brings all of this with him to the operating room the next day and will reference these as the procedure is performed. This allows him to be precise in performing this surgery and achieve natural looking results for his patients.
Because patient education is a cornerstone of Dr. Sadati’s practice, these enhanced Rhinoplasty procedure pages serve to further the patient’s education and enhance their experience. At The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, all California rhinoplasty procedures are performed in their onsite state-of-the-art fully certified ambulatory surgical facility. Patients are usually discharged within an hour of surgery and recover quickly with the Center’s Rapid Recovery program.
