Once the incision has been made, Dr. Rahban will very precisely remove excess cartilage and bone as well as reshape your native nasal structure to create a new nose that is objectively more attractive and in better balance with your face. Dr. Rahban believes in what he terms is a reconstructive rhinoplasty as opposed to the standard mill reductive rhinoplasty.
Most surgeons who don’t do a lot of rhinoplasties tend to do a quick surgery where the main objective is to remove structure like cartilage and bone.
Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that these noses tend to collapse with time and lead to the classic “done look” and difficulty breathing. Almost all of his revision cases are due to this type of rhinoplasty.
During your reconstructive Beverly Hills rhinoplasty, Dr. Rahban uses cartilage, usually from the septum, to add reinforcement to the refined structure he has created. Like a building, your nose will need support to keep it looking natural over time. Your nose will not only be more refined but more importantly strong and long lasting. This type of rhinoplasty takes more time and expertise, hence why few surgeons use this technique.
Throughout the surgery, Dr. Rahban will be referring to images of your nose and his notes to make sure he achieves an outcome that is in alignment with what you discussed pre-operatively. Most importantly, he will use a conservative approach to avoid overcorrecting your nose – ensuring that your results appear very natural. Once the procedure is complete, he will close the incisions meticulously to ensure that your resulting scars are as faint and imperceptible as possible.
