Meet Dr. Ardesh: Your Trusted Doctor for Rhinoplasty In Los Angeles
Dr. Ardesh is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty and nasal surgery. With years of experience and a deep understanding of facial anatomy, Dr. Ardesh offers a meticulous and personalized approach to rhinoplasty, ensuring optimal results for each patient. His expertise in reshaping nasal bones, cartilage, and tissues means that whether you’re seeking aesthetic changes or improved breathing, you're in expert hands.
Procedures and What They Address
Rhinoplasty covers a range of surgical corrections. The right procedure depends entirely on what the patient's anatomy presents and what outcome is clinically achievable.
Each case is assessed individually. No two noses are structurally identical, and treatment planning reflects that directly.
Dr. Ardesh performs:
Dorsal hump reduction
reshaping the nasal bridge for a smoother profile
Nasal tip refinement
correcting a bulbous, drooping, or asymmetric tip
Nostril modification
adjusting flare or width relative to the overall face
Septoplasty with rhinoplasty
combining functional airway correction with cosmetic reshaping in a single operation
Revision rhinoplasty
reconstructive correction following unsatisfactory prior surgery
Non-surgical rhinoplasty
Patients with limited, specific aesthetic concerns may be candidates for non-surgical rhinoplasty using dermal filler. The procedure can address minor bridge irregularities and mild asymmetry without surgery or downtime.
It is not a substitute for surgery. Non-surgical rhinoplasty cannot reduce nasal size, correct structural issues, or improve breathing. Results are temporary. Patients with functional concerns or significant anatomical changes required are not appropriate candidates.
What recovery looks like
Patients are counseled on recovery expectations before surgery. The timeline is predictable, but it requires patience.
The 12-month mark is not unusual. It is standard. Tip swelling resolves slowly in all rhinoplasty patients, and premature evaluation of results is a common source of unnecessary concern.
Real Patients.
Real Transformations.
Surgical technique: open vs. closed
The approach Dr. Ardesh uses is determined by the complexity of the case, not by preference or convenience.
Technique selection is discussed and confirmed during the preoperative consultation.
Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the columella, allowing direct visualization of the cartilage framework beneath. Dr. Ardesh uses this approach for significant structural reshaping, complex tip work, cartilage grafting, and revision cases. The columellar scar, when properly closed, typically becomes imperceptible within 12 months.
Closed rhinoplasty places all incisions inside the nostrils. No external scarring results. This technique is appropriate for patients requiring moderate changes where full structural access is not necessary.
Consultations in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach
Dr. Ardesh conducts thorough preoperative consultations at both locations. Each appointment includes a full structural evaluation of the nose, a frank discussion of what surgery can and cannot achieve for that patient's anatomy, and a detailed walkthrough of the recovery process.
