Irvine Teenage Rhinoplasty Cosmetic Surgery | Orange Country's Dr. Tavoussi

When many Irvine people think of nose jobs, also called rhinoplasties, they think of fixing an oddly shaped nose bridge. However, an Irvine Teenage Rhinoplasty can be used for many more problems than just that. Rhinoplasties can change the shape of the nose, remove lumps and bumps, change the shape or size of the nostrils, change the size or direction of the tip of the nose or change the width of the bridge of the nose. Irvine teenagers are often interested in this procedure because they may feel very uncomfortable with a misshapen nose when they are in the presence of their peers.

How Teenagers Can Benefit From Irvine Rhinoplasty

Teenagers may be born with an asymmetrical nose from a birth defect, or they may have injured their noses, causing a shift in the bone structure and tissues. Some may find the shape of the nose changes as they get older. Whatever the case may be, an Irvine teenage rhinoplasty can address these concerns and create lasting change in a teenager’s facial features.

Of course, teenagers should have reached the age at which the nose stops growing before pursuing an Irvine Teenage Rhinoplasty. This typically occurs earlier for girls than for boys, but may occur anytime between the ages of 15 and 19. Waiting until this age helps to ensure that a more difficult revision surgery will not be necessary in the future.
Being Prepared For Irvine Teenage Rhinoplasty

Irvine Teenage Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that requires general anesthesia and must be performed in an operating room. Dr. Tavoussi uses the Pacifica Outpatient Surgery Center for this and other procedures. Pacifica is located just north of his Newport Beach OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique and offers convenience and security for all Orange County residents. Teenagers will feel safe and welcomed here by the anesthesiologists and nurses. They will check in to the surgery center in the morning, have the rhinoplasty and be allowed to recover briefly before being discharged back to the comfort of their own homes.

Irvine teenagers should be aware that there are some risks associated with this as well as with any type of surgery. They are at risk for infection as well as for ill effects from the anesthesia. However, most teenagers only experience pain and swelling around the nose as well as a temporary headache and nasal stuffiness. These symptoms will gradually clear up at which point the teenager will be able to see his or her beautiful new nose.
