Why Consider Rhinoplasty?
* Rhinoplasty may be recommended to:
* Refine nasal shape, projection, or symmetry
* Correct a deviated septum or breathing difficulties
* Address congenital or trauma-related nasal deformities
* Restore harmony to facial proportions
How the Procedure Works
Each procedure is planned using advanced imaging and 3D modeling. During surgery, performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation, Dr. Galstyan reshapes bone and cartilage via internal incisions or a minimal external approach.
Depending on the complexity, grafts may be harvested from the nasal septum, ear, or rib. Functional corrections, including septoplasty, may be performed simultaneously to improve nasal breathing.
Surgery typically lasts 1–2 hours and is performed in an accredited surgical facility.
Recovery Timeline
*First Week: Mild discomfort, nasal congestion, swelling, and possible bruising around the eyes. A splint and internal supports are usually removed on day 7.
*Weeks 2–4: Gradual reduction of swelling. Most patients return to work or daily activities after 10–14 days.
*Months 1–12: Final shape refines gradually. Minor residual swelling, especially at the tip, may persist for up to a year.
During recovery:
*Sleep with your head elevated
*Avoid intense physical activity
*Do not wear glasses on the nasal bridge for 4–6 weeks
*Protect your nose from sun exposure with SPF 30+

Frequently Asked Questions
Is rhinoplasty painful?
Most patients report only mild discomfort, easily managed with medication.
Will I need nasal packing?
No. Soft internal splints are used that allow breathing and are removed painlessly at your post-op visit.
Will I see the final result immediately?
You’ll notice changes right away, but swelling will continue to resolve gradually for 6–12 months.
Is rhinoplasty covered by insurance?
Functional corrections (like septoplasty) may be partially covered. Our team will help you check your eligibility.
Do you use photo simulations?
Yes. Preoperative imaging helps you visualize possible outcomes and aligns expectations with surgical possibilities.
