Meet Dr. Ardesh: Your Trusted Doctor for Rhinoplasty

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.

Why You Should Consider A Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries, and for good reason. It addresses a variety of concerns, from medical issues like breathing difficulties to cosmetic desires such as refining the shape and size of the nose. Dr. Ardesh performs rhinoplasty to:

  • Correct a deviated nasal septum, improving nasal airway function
  • Modify the size and shape of the nose, including the nasal bridge and nostrils.
  • Repair injuries or trauma to the nose.
  • Remove a dorsal hump or reduce excessive cartilage.
  • Achieve facial symmetry and balance
  • Restore proper nasal function after previous surgeries (revision rhinoplasty).

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Improved Breathing

Correcting structural issues such as a deviated septum improves airflow and nasal function.

Enhanced Facial Balance

A well-proportioned nose can enhance harmony between facial features, boosting confidence.

Long-Lasting Results

Once healed, rhinoplasty results are permanent and provide a lasting enhancement.

Correction of Nasal Injuries

Rhinoplasty can restore both the form and function of the nose following trauma or injury.

Types of Rhinoplasty

Open Rhinoplasty

Open Rhinoplasty used for more complex cases, this technique involves making a small incision across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), allowing greater visibility and control during surgery.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed Rhinoplasty involves making incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars. This method is ideal for less complicated procedures where extensive reshaping is not required.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

A Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty provides a needle-based enhancement that improves nasal shape and symmetry without incisions or downtime, an ideal choice for subtle, refined results.

What to Expect with Your Rhinoplasty Treatment

The Consultation

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Ardesh. During this session, he will evaluate your nose’s form and function, listen to your goals, and discuss potential outcomes. You’ll receive a detailed explanation of the recommended surgical approach (whether open or closed rhinoplasty) and what to expect in terms of recovery and results.

The Procedure

Rhinoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery can take anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity. Dr. Ardesh will carefully sculpt the nasal bones and cartilage to achieve the desired shape, making adjustments to improve both aesthetics and nasal function. After the surgery, the nose is bandaged and protected with a splint, which helps with healing and maintaining the new shape.

Post-Op Care

In the initial days after surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort, especially around the eyes and nose. It’s important to keep your head elevated and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks to promote healing. Dr. Ardesh will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress.

Healing Stages and Recovery

After a rhinoplasty, it is common to experience some swelling, pain and discomfort for several weeks. Here's what to expect during recovery:

  • First Week: The nasal splint is removed, and initial bruising and swelling begin to subside. Most patients return to work or normal activities within 7 to 10 days.
  • 1-2 Months: The majority of the swelling resolves, and the nose begins to take its new shape.
  • 1 Year: Final results are fully visible as residual swelling dissipates and the nose settles into its permanent shape

Frequently Asked Questions
Is rhinoplasty painful?
Rhinoplasty is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, mild discomfort, swelling, and congestion are common, but most patients describe the pain as manageable with prescribed medication.
How long does rhinoplasty swelling last?
Most swelling improves significantly within the first few weeks. However, subtle swelling, especially around the nasal tip, can take 6–12 months to fully resolve as the nose heals and settles into its final shape.
What is the best age to get rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is typically recommended once the nose has fully developed. This usually occurs around 15–16 years old for girls and 16–17 years old for boys, though many adults choose to have the procedure later in life.
How soon can I go back to work after rhinoplasty?
Many patients return to work or school within 7–10 days, once bruising and swelling begin to subside and the nasal splint is removed.
Is rhinoplasty permanent?
Rhinoplasty results are long-lasting because the procedure reshapes the underlying bone and cartilage. While natural aging continues, the structural improvements made during surgery are typically permanent.
What should I avoid before rhinoplasty surgery?
Patients are usually advised to avoid smoking, alcohol, and certain medications such as blood thinners for several weeks before surgery, as these can affect healing and increase bleeding risk.
