What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic procedure used to enhance the look and shape of the nose. Aside from correcting cosmetic issues, rhinoplasty can also restore the nose's function by improving breathing issues. At HGH Plastic Surgery, our team performs rhinoplasty with a focus on creating natural-looking outcomes. For large noses, noses with an irregular shape, or noses that protrude too far outward, even small changes can produce dramatic results. For more information about rhinoplasty in Birmingham, AL, schedule a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons.
How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Rhinoplasty is generally performed with the patient under general anesthesia. There are different approaches that may be used, depending on certain cosmetic goals. Whichever method is used, the objective during surgery is to reduce excess tissue and cartilage or to build and increase cartilage for a new shape. After crafting the desired shape, we'll reposition the nose and drape the skin back over it. Stitches will then be placed either inside the nose or within the natural external crease to reduce visibility.
What Are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty offers a variety of aesthetic and functional benefits for our Birmingham, AL patients, including:
- Reducing the bridge of the nose
- Increasing or decreasing the size of the nose
- Revising nasal pathways to make breathing easier
- Reshaping the nostrils
- Reducing the tip of the nose
- Correcting a deviated septum
Rhinoplasty Reviews
I recently had Rhinoplasty by Dr. Hedden and I am more than happy to write this review. The results were exceptional and I’m very happy with the outcome. Including myself, now have 4 members of my family that have had great results over the years with Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery.
PLEASE READ………….. Dr. Pasha Mostofi, MD, is the best doctor I have ever had in my life. He preformed an upper eyelid blepharoplasty and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, face lift, neck platysmaplasty, & rhinoplasty. I’d never had anything major done cosmetically. I was nervous. He put me at ease immediately. He is a perfectionist & that is what you want in a plastic surgeon. The first day I met Dr. Pasha Mostofi it was for Botox & a consult. He did my Botox injections I ask him about fillers for my face. He said you do not need them & I will never do anything that doesn’t enhance your appearance. I liked that he wasn’t trying to sell me on anything & he was honest. He then sit down next to me & brought out his iPad. He walked me through each of the procedures that I was wanting to have done. He showed me actual highlights of videos & pictures of his surgeries explaining what he would be doing to me to help achieve my goals. (Don’t worry he didn’t show the gory stuff). To have an understanding of the process was so very helpful. He wasn’t in a hurry either. He took his time. He answered all of my questions. Dr Pasha wasn’t trying to rush me so he could get out of the room with me to move on to the next patient. That meant a lot since most doctors visits are rushed these days. Fast forward to my surgery day. He came to see me before they took me back to the operating room. He ask if I had any questions. He put me at ease & it was GO TIME. The surgery went great!!! He even called me that night to check on me. Afterwards he gave me his cell number to text him with any concerns or questions that I may have before my follow up appointment. I did text him & he answered me within 15 minutes. Over the next couple of months as I heeled I text him a couple more times & he got back to me immediately. I couldn’t believe it. A doctor giving you his cell number & he text you back. I’ve never seen this in my lifetime. As the swelling & bruises started to heal I could tell a huge difference & now after 4 months I can see what a magnificent plastic surgeon Dr Pasha Mostofi truly is. My under eye bags & the hump in my nose are gone. I no longer have the sagging skin that made me look tired. My neck looks like it did 15 years ago. Family & friends that didn’t know I was having plastic surgery keep telling me how good they think I look. They ask me what am I doing to look so bright eyed & fresh faced. Some even use the word glowing. Hey, at 62 years old I sure love hearing those compliments. 😁 I am so happy with my results. I have more confidence & a big smile on my face. He has made such a difference in my life. I know that I’m blessed to have found not only a great plastic surgeon, but a good, decent, skilled, caring, friendly, talented human being in Dr. Pasha Mostofi. Forever Grateful, Kathy L. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
