Mission Viejo Teenage Rhinoplasty Cosmetic Surgery | Procedures by Dr. Tavoussi

Mission Viejo teenage rhinoplasty is one of the most intricate cosmetic procedures that Dr. Tavoussi performs, and it’s also becoming increasing more popular. Teens have always been self-conscious about their appearances, so it should come as no surprise that more and more teens are beginning to want to alter their appearances through cosmetic surgeries. Mission Viejo rhinoplasty is the technical term for a nose job, and because the nose is the center of the face, many teens feel that having an altered nose would enhance their appearance.

However, this doesn’t mean that all teens who want to undergo Mission Viejo teenage rhinoplasty want to do so for cosmetic reasons. Some teens want to undergo the surgery to fix a birth defect that they were born with or because they have become injured in a car accident, sporting accident, or other types of accidents that caused their noses to become broken or altered. Still, others might consider undergoing Mission Viejo teenage rhinoplasty for health reasons. Teens who have trouble breathing might benefit from getting a nose job that expands their narrow nostrils and allows them to inhale more air.

Preparing for Mission Viejo Teenage Rhinoplasty

Before actually choosing to undergo Mission Viejo teenage rhinoplasty, though, candidates usually want to know more about how the surgery is performed. First of all, Mission Viejo rhinoplasty usually takes anywhere from one to two hours, sometimes longer if the procedure being performed is a bit more complicated than typical ones. During the actual surgery, the skin of the nose will be separated from the supporting bone and cartilage of the face, and then Dr. Tavoussi can sculpt the underlying bone and cartilage into the desired shape. Exactly how Dr. Tavoussi sculpts the framework depends upon what the patient specified he or she wanted. After all the sculpting is done, then the skin is relaid over the framework, and the procedure is complete.

Recovery After Mission Viejo Teenage Rhinoplasty

After undergoing Mission Viejo teenage rhinoplasty, there is a recovery period. Patients can expect their faces to feel puffy, swollen and a bit sore, especially during the first 24 hours following the surgery. They might also experience a dull headache, but Dr. Tavoussi can help them control any discomfort by prescribing them the medication of his choice. Although all the bruising might not completely disappear for two weeks or longer, most Mission Viejo patients are up and about within two days, have all stitches and dressing removed within 7 to 10 days and are cleared to return to work or school within a week.
