Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that not only enhances facial harmony but can also significantly improve breathing functionality. When performing rhinoplasty, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ravinder Jarial often adopts one of two distinct perspectives: functional or aesthetic. Understanding the differences to these two approaches can help you make a well-informed decision about your own nose job tailored to your needs.
What Is Functional Rhinoplasty?
Functional rhinoplasty addresses medical issues related to the structure of the nose that impede airflow and affect breathing. Common conditions such as a deviated septum, nasal polyps, or previous injuries can lead to chronic breathing difficulties. Dr. Jarial’s surgical interventions aim to correct these structural anomalies, providing patients with relief from symptoms and significantly enhancing their quality of life.
What Is Aesthetic Rhinoplasty?
On the cosmetic side, rhinoplasty is sought to alter the nose’s shape, size, or proportions. Whether it’s refining the nasal tip, adjusting the bridge, or altering the nostrils, aesthetic rhinoplasty strives to create a balanced and proportionate nose that complements the patient’s other facial features. Dr. Jarial combines his artistic vision with surgical precision to craft results that boost confidence and patient satisfaction.
Choosing the Right Approach
During a consultation, Dr. Jarial learns about his patient’s motivations for having surgery to best determine the appropriate approach. Each rhinoplasty procedure at Ultra Aesthetics is uniquely tailored. Dr. Jarial assesses the individual’s facial structure, nasal anatomy, skin quality, and personal goals to recommend the best surgical approach. For some, a combination of both functional and aesthetic techniques may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome, ensuring the changes are both beautiful and beneficial. Frequently, patients who are mainly motivated by functional or aesthetic concerns decide to address aspects simultaneously.
What to Expect from Rhinoplasty Surgery and Recovery
Dr. Jarial is one of the first plastic surgeons in West Palm Beach to have the advanced Piezo ultrasound technology, which allows for a gentler nose-reshaping procedure and recovery. Post-surgery, patients may experience swelling and bruising around the eyes and nose, which generally improves within the first two weeks. Dr. Jarial provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to minimize discomfort and facilitate a smooth recovery.
