Rhinoplasty Surgery in Nashville

You put in time to look your best. You diet, you exercise, and you groom yourself to make a striking first appearance. Sometimes, though, there is only so much your at-home efforts can do. While a proper skin care routine is integral to your appearance, it cannot change the more permanent elements of your face, such as your nose. If you have concerns with how your nose looks or functions, you may want to consider rhinoplasty in Nashville.

Dr. Dan Hatef is a skilled facial plastic surgeon who cares deeply for his patients. As the recipient of a rhinoplasty himself, he knows how life-changing the procedure can be. Reach out and get the help you need to look your best today.

Good Candidates for Rhinoplasty

As you begin to consider your options, it is important to consider if you are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. A good candidate for a rhinoplasty at our Nashville location:

• Is a nonsmoker
• Is generally healthy
• Has a realistic expectation
• Has finished their facial growth
• Has issues with breathing through their nose
• Is unhappy with the size or shape of their nose

It is important that you understand why you are pursuing a rhinoplasty, as you should only pursue a cosmetic procedure for yourself, rather than to make another person happy. If you are pursuing a rhinoplasty to help with breathing concerns, you will be more focused on the practical results, but you should also be content with your appearance.

What Should You Look For In a Surgeon

Anytime you consider a surgery, it is important to pick the surgeon who is best for you. This includes considering the background and specialties of your surgeon, as well as how you feel around them. Being comfortable with your surgeon can help you ask the questions you need to ask and feel in control of your surgical experience.

Dr. Hatef has a long history with rhinoplasty, undergoing one himself at age 17. This helped encourage him to pursue a career as a plastic surgeon, becoming board-certified and double fellowship trained. He has experience both as a patient and a doctor, and will keep you and your needs centered throughout your entire rhinoplasty experience.

What To Expect During a Rhinoplasty Procedure

During your rhinoplasty, you will be placed under general anesthesia for your comfort. Then, Dr. Hatef will make the necessary incisions. These incisions may vary based on your personal aesthetic or medical needs. The goal is to gain access to the underlying materials, mostly cartilage, to adjust the size and shape of the nose, or to structure the nasal canals to be more open. Dr. Hatef may also correct a deviated septum during this part of the procedure. Once the material has been properly adjusted to your predetermined specifications, the incisions are closed, and you are moved to recovery.

Recovering From a Rhinoplasty

After your procedure, you will be given aftercare instructions to maximize your results. These will include limits on your physical activity, as well as prescribed medications for pain management. Some swelling and soreness are expected, and usually begin to subside after several days, though it may be several weeks before you return to your usual comfort level and day-to-day activities. Following Dr. Hatef’s advice and checking in as suggested will help ensure you get the lasting results you desire.
