Rhinoplastyby Dr.Chasan
What is a Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is one of the most gratifying surgeries performed by plastic surgeons. The procedures require the highest quality of experience, detail, and artistry to be performed correctly. Dr. Paul Chasan states, “Rhinoplasty is one of the most beautifying procedures of the face.”
Our Rhinoplasty in San Diego is a surgical procedure that refines the appearance of the nose. Whether a bump on the nose or a bulbous tip, the overall result is a more attractive nose and a more harmonious appearance. Nose reshaping can dramatically improve someone’s appearance and increase their beauty while still retaining their individual look.

Types of Rhinoplasty
Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Ethnic rhinoplasty centers on preserving the ethnic particularities of a person. Different ethnicities have subtle or pronounced nuances that make them unique and true to heritage. An ethnic rhinoplasty preserves those traits while meeting the patient’s desires for cosmetic improvements. A superior, well-versed cosmetic surgeon who understands these nuances of anatomy and has extensive prior experience is the best promise of a natural, satisfactory, and complementary ethnic rhinoplasty.
Revision Rhinoplasty: When a patient isn’t pleased with a past rhinoplasty, or when his or her personal ideals have since changed, whether the rhinoplasty was recent or done years ago, a revision rhinoplasty can be done to correct these. The revision rhinoplasty warrants particular attention and skill as it deals with bone and tissue that has already been manipulated.
Functional Rhinoplasty: If a patient is experiencing nasal breathing constrictions or an abnormality in the working of the nose, due to a birth defect, accident or trauma, functional rhinoplasty corrects the condition and restores proper function to the nose; with its secondary goal being enhanced aesthetics. A deviated septum, nasal fracture or broken nose, cleft lip and palate, and MOHs defects can all be corrected with functional rhinoplasty.
Preservation Rhinoplasty
Preservation rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to preserve the natural structures of the nose while enhancing its appearance. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which involves removing cartilage and bone from the nose, preservation rhinoplasty focuses on reshaping the existing structures to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing result.
During a preservation rhinoplasty procedure, Dr. Chasan will carefully manipulate the cartilage and bone of the nose to achieve the desired shape and size. This may involve adding or removing small amounts of tissue or reshaping the existing structures to create a more harmonious appearance.
Open vs. Closed Techniques
The choice of whether to perform an open or closed rhinoplasty is made between the patient and the surgeon and depends on the anatomy of the patient and the intended outcome of the surgery. As each has its strengths and advantages, Dr. Chasan can perform either. In an open rhinoplasty, access to the nasal bones and cartilage is gained through an incision on the bridge of the nose, while a closed rhinoplasty accesses these areas by going through the nostrils.
Rhinoplasty Anesthesia
Rhinoplasty can be done under local anesthesia with IV sedation, causing numbness but not sleep; or general anesthesia, under which the patient wouldn’t be conscious for the duration of the surgery. The determination is made based on the depth and involvement of the procedure.

Choosing Your Plastic Surgeon
When it comes to nose jobs, our doctor’s approach is to address the specific cosmetic issues with the nose, bringing it into harmony and balance with the rest of the face. By communicating with their patients, our surgeons make them aware of those pieces they deems necessary to change. By applying this principle, no two noses look the same. Because fractions of a millimeter make a huge difference, it is important to pick a plastic surgeon who is skillful in the art of rhinoplasty and has a commitment to detail.

Non-Surgical Nose Reshaping
Designed by Renowned Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Paul Chasan
Many people are unhappy with the shape of their nose but are not ready for rhinoplasty surgery. Some patients are unable to undergo surgical reshaping due to other reasons. Studies suggest that wearing a device such as Nose Perfect may in fact cause an improvement in the shape of the nose over time.
Because of its ergonomic design and its gentle but effective function, Nose Perfect may help non-surgical patients to achieve a more attractive nose with minimal cost and discomfort.

5 things to know about Rhinoplasty
1. Rhinoplasty is a 1 ½ to 3-hour surgery with results that last a lifetime
Rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning that no overnight hospital stay is required. The surgery itself takes as little as one and a half to three hours, though it is by no means a simple surgery. Although revision rhinoplasties are always an option, the results of an initial rhinoplasty surgery do otherwise last a lifetime, though the nose will continue to be impacted in age-related changes of the body.
2. Rhinoplasty is the most exacting and meticulous cosmetic surgery
You should only ever see a board-certified plastic surgeon with considerable experience in your procedure of interest, but if ever there was one procedure to really do your due diligence on, it is rhinoplasty. Because your surgeon will be working with multiple types of bone, tissue, and cartilage of varying thicknesses within just a few square inches of space—and given the extreme prominence of the nose—it is widely considered the most complex plastic surgery.
3. Rhinoplasty can have both cosmetic and medical benefits
Rhinoplasty is often considered a purely cosmetic surgery, but it actually provides a number of possible medical and functional benefits where these are needed, including such things as correcting a deviated septum, or making natural breathing easier.
4. Rhinoplasty is the 4th most popular plastic surgery
Rhinoplasty is performed more often than many people realize. 24 percent of rhinoplasties are done for men and 76 percent are done for women. The ages at which the procedure is most often done are between ages 20 and 29.
5. Rhinoplasty varies from person to person and among ethnicities
No two rhinoplasty surgeries are ever the same. A tailored surgical made is made exclusively for the patient in front of us, after extensive medical reviews, a careful inspection and deep understanding of the nasal structure, and computer imaging. For patients with distinct ethnic traits, the procedure is done so as to preserve those traits (as is usually desired), while at the same time, correcting those things about the nose that are disliked by the patient.
