Why Get Rhinoplasty?
Patients seeking rhinoplasty in San Diego seek the expertise of Dr. Hilinski because they are unhappy with a nose that is disproportionate to the rest of the face. Others wish to correct a bridge that is crooked or has a bump, also known as a dorsal hump deformity. There are also patients with abnormalities of the nasal tip who wish to improve symmetry, achieve better definition, or adjust the position. While some patients have isolated concerns, others may exhibit multiple irregularities at once. The best candidates for rhinoplasty are individuals who wish to refine and reshape their nose while maintaining realistic expectations of what surgery can help them achieve.
The goal of rhinoplasty is to provide a balanced and pleasing shape to your nose while maintaining a natural look that is harmonious with the rest of your face. Cosmetic changes to the nose, however, are inextricably linked to vital functions such as nasal breathing. Too often there are stories from other patients who had cosmetic rhinoplasty and went on to develop difficulty breathing through the nose. This link between cosmetic appearance and function makes rhinoplasty arguably the most complex and challenging of facial plastic procedures. Successful rhinoplasty requires a facial plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Hilinski, who has specialized training in not only cosmetic enhancement of the nose, but also expert knowledge of functional (breathing) nasal

View CaseHow Does Rhinoplasty Work?
Rhinoplasty can be performed using either an “open” or “closed” surgical technique. Open rhinoplasty involves making a small incision underneath the nasal tip, which becomes nearly imperceptible after it heals. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions that are made entirely within the nose. There are advantages and disadvantages to both techniques. Certain individuals would benefit more from one than the other. The technique that is best suited for your nose can be discussed in detail during consultation with Dr. Hilinski.
Dr. Hilinski performs most rhinoplasty procedures in an outpatient surgery center. Deep sedation or general anesthesia is commonly used and the surgery typically takes two to two and a half hours to complete. Most rhinoplasty patients go home the same day as their surgery

Rhinoplasty Recovery
Patients can expect an initial recovery of five to seven days. Bruising and significant swelling are uncommon. Stitches are removed within five to seven days. Although many patients take a week off of work or school, some are able to return within a few days after surgery. Some regular activity is permitted after the first two weeks, but vigorous exercise or strenuous activity should be avoided for at least four to six weeks. While most patients are presentable in public within seven to ten days, the majority of soft tissue swelling can take several months to fade and the nose will continue to undergo healing and remodeling of the shape for upwards of a year and beyond in some cases.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rhinoplasty
To provide an in-depth look at rhinoplasty and what you can expect at every stage of the process, Dr. Hilinski has answered common questions that patients tend to ask about their procedure.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the appearance of the nose. There are many changes that can be made to the nose. The bridge height may be reduced or the bridge of a wide nose narrowed, a crooked or poorly aligned nose may be improved, the bridge height may be elevated, the middle one-third of the nose may be reduced, or the tip may be altered. However, it must be emphasized that every nose is different and requires a tailored plan when deciding on the appropriate technique to be used. Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging plastic surgery procedures to perform successfully with stable, long-term results.2
