Meet Dr. Ardesh: Your Trusted Doctor for Rhinoplasty In Orange County
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.
Who typically comes in for rhinoplasty
Orange County patients present with a wide range of concerns. Some have lived with a structural issue for years and finally decided to address it. Others are athletes who sustained nasal trauma and never had it properly corrected. A smaller group arrives after rhinoplasty elsewhere did not go as planned.
The entry point varies. The standard of evaluation does not.
The most common concerns Dr. Ardesh sees:
A dorsal hump that changes the profile view significantly
A nasal tip that appears wide, asymmetric, or pulls downward with expression
Breathing difficulty traced to a deviated septum or collapsed nasal valve
Prior surgery that left the nose looking operated on rather than refined
Nostril width or flare that feels disproportionate to the rest of the face
How Dr. Ardesh approaches each case
No two rhinoplasties follow the same plan. Skin thickness alone - whether thin, medium, or thick - changes what is surgically achievable at the tip. Cartilage strength, bone structure, and previous surgical history all factor into what technique is used and what outcome is realistic.
Dr. Ardesh performs both open and closed rhinoplasty. Closed technique keeps all incisions internal and suits patients needing moderate changes. Open technique, with a small incision across the base of the columella, gives direct access to the full cartilage framework - necessary for revision work, significant structural reshaping, and precise tip surgery. The technique is chosen based on what the case demands, not convenience.
Revision rhinoplasty deserves specific mention. Operating on a nose that has already been surgically altered introduces scar tissue, potentially weakened cartilage, and altered anatomy. Dr. Ardesh handles revision cases regularly. Patients who come to him after surgery elsewhere receive the same thorough structural assessment as any primary candidate.
The consultation process
Patients at the Newport Beach practice receive a full hour for their rhinoplasty consultation. During that time:
Patients consistently describe leaving the consultation with a clearer picture than they got anywhere else. That clarity is intentional.
Real Patients.
Real Transformations.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty
Injectable filler can address minor cosmetic irregularities - a small bump on the bridge, subtle asymmetry, a slightly low tip projection - without surgery. It is a practical option for patients whose concerns are limited and who are not ready for a surgical commitment.
The boundaries are firm though. Filler adds volume, it does not remove it. Size reduction, structural correction, and breathing improvement all require surgery. Patients with significant concerns who are offered non-surgical rhinoplasty as a solution deserve a second opinion.
