Rhinoplasty in California

Rhinoplasty or nasal reshaping is the second most common plastic surgery performed in the United States. Rhinoplasty can increase or decrease the tip; it can narrow or widen the tip; it can push the tip down or pull it up. Rhinoplasty can also decrease a bump on the nose and make it less wide. Dr. Kevin Sadati believes that rhinoplasty is about restoring balance to the overall face and refining the appearance of the nose.

Dr. Sadati believes that rhinoplasty is not only about making the nose look better but providing good support to make sure that the results are long lasting and to minimize the chance that breathing is worsened by the surgery.

Patience is required when it comes to the final result. The cartilage framework underneath the nose can be changed immediately but the skin and fat that lay on top of the cartilage can take several months to years to adapt to its new structure. Individuals with thick skin and a fatty nose may take longer.
