Anaheim Teenage Rhinoplasty Cosmetic Surgery - Dr. Tavoussi

Anaheim Teenage Rhinoplasty is used to address structural concerns with the nose, which could be due to birth defects. However, most of the time, teenagers want a rhinoplasty, or nose job, purely to address concerns with the appearance of the nose. Teenagers want to feel that they fit in with their peers, and having a well-shaped nose can help with this concern. In fact, Anaheim rhinoplasties are the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery in teenagers today.

Dr. Tavoussi, the cosmetic surgeon at the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique in Newport Beach, California, prefers to wait to perform a teenage rhinoplasty in Anaheim until the patient’s nose has reached its adult size. This typically occurs between the ages of 15 and 16 for girls and 17 and 18 for boys. This helps to reduce the probability of the teenager having to undergo a revision rhinoplasty several years down the road. In addition, the Anaheim patient should be mature enough to understand what will be accomplished with the surgery and to have realistic expectations for the results. For example, while the nose can be made to look more structurally accurate and beautiful, an Anaheim teenage rhinoplasty will not change how many friends a teenager has.
Dr. Tavoussi Provides Anaheim Teenage Rhinoplasty

Anaheim teenage rhinoplasties are surgical procedures that are performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon will make incisions around the nose to enable him to lift the skin and underlying tissues and reach the bony structures of the nose. Dr. Tavoussi will then create a new shape for the nose before re-draping the skin and sewing up the incisions. Dr. Tavoussi has created a groundbreaking technique for working with the shape of the nostrils that allows the face to be completely scar-free following the Anaheim rhinoplasty surgery.

Recovery Period After Anaheim Teenage Rhinoplasty

Patients will need to recover for a few hours at the Pacifica Outpatient Surgery Center following the surgery but will be allowed to go home the same day. At home, Anaheim teenagers should keep their heads elevated for the first 24 hours, take the prescribed medication for pain and apply cold compresses to the nose to decrease swelling. They will need to return to the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique, which serves the Orange County area, a couple days after surgery for Dr. Tavoussi to provide follow-up care and answer any questions they may have. Dr. Tavoussi believes that a well-shaped nose can add beauty to the face and can give Anaheim teenagers confidence.
