Rhinoplasty in Annandale, Virginia

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure that focuses on reshaping or reconstructing the nose for both aesthetic and functional purposes. At Beyond Esthetics in Annandale, Virginia, our skilled facial cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Andrew Dullnig, specializes in rhinoplasty, aiming to enhance facial harmony and restore nasal functionality, providing patients with improved breathing and aesthetic satisfaction.

Individuals seek rhinoplasty for various reasons:

• Aesthetic Enhancement: Reshaping the nose to improve symmetry, proportions, or resolve cosmetic concerns like a dorsal hump, nasal tip refinement, or nostril size adjustment.
• Functional Improvement: Addressing breathing difficulties caused by structural issues within the nose, such as a deviated septum or nasal valve collapse.

Rhinoplasty involves careful assessment, surgical planning, and personalized treatment to achieve the desired outcomes:

• Consultation: Dr. Dullnig evaluates the patient's concerns, discusses goals, and develops a customized surgical plan tailored to the individual's unique anatomy and preferences.
• Surgical Techniques: Depending on the goals and issues identified, rhinoplasty may involve alterations to the nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissues. Surgical approaches may include:
  • Open Rhinoplasty: Provides direct access to nasal structures, allowing for precise modifications.
  • Closed Rhinoplasty: Involves internal incisions, typically used for minor adjustments.
• Recovery: Post-surgery, patients receive detailed instructions for care and follow-up visits to monitor healing progress. Swelling and bruising gradually subside over several weeks to reveal the final results.
