Pairing Rhinoplasty With Eyelid Surgery or a Chin Implant in Los Angeles

Faces are judged as a whole, even though people usually focus on one feature at a time. A nose can look too prominent partly because the chin sits back, and a tired look around the eyes can draw attention away from an otherwise balanced profile. That is why some patients ask about combining rhinoplasty with eyelid surgery or a chin implant, treating the face as one plan rather than a series of separate projects spread over several years. The chin and nose relationship is the most common pairing. Viewed from the side, a weak chin can make the nose appear larger than it is, and a facial implant in the chin may bring the lower face forward to improve overall balance. Eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, addresses excess skin or puffiness of the upper or lower lids, and Asian eyelid surgery is a distinct procedure for creating or refining an upper lid crease. Dr. Jacob Sedgh performs all of these alongside rhinoplasty, as part of a practice limited to the nose, face, ears and neck. He is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, board certified in otolaryngology and fellowship-trained in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Combining procedures has practical advantages. There is one anesthesia session, one main recovery period and one block of time away from work, which suits people from Century City, Beverly Hills or Brentwood who can only step away once a year. It is not right for everyone, though. Adding procedures can lengthen surgery and change what recovery looks like, and a medical evaluation decides whether a combined plan is sensible for your health and anatomy. Some people are better served by staging, doing the nose first and revisiting the chin or eyelids later once they have lived with the new profile.

A Los Angeles nose job combined with other work starts with a careful conversation about priorities. What bothers you most? Which change would make the biggest difference to how you feel about your face? The surgeon can look at the profile, the eyes and the proportions together and explain which options fit your goals, what the risks are for each, and how they interact. The Piezo ultrasonic system used for nasal bone reshaping has been linked in published studies to less bruising and swelling in the first week, though individual recovery varies and combining procedures adds its own variables. Results vary, and every face is different. Cost depends on the procedures chosen, their complexity, anesthesia and facility fees, and it is quoted at consultation.

Jacob Sedgh, MD Address: 9201 Sunset Blvd Suite 414, West Hollywood, CA 90069 Phone: (310) 888-2884 FAQ About Los Angeles Nose Job What is the average cost of a nose job in Los Angeles? There is no single figure, because the fee depends on whether the surgery is primary or revision, how much structural work is needed, and the anesthesia and surgical facility costs. Revision and combined functional and cosmetic cases usually take longer than a straightforward primary rhinoplasty. At Jacob Sedgh, MD in West Hollywood, a written quote follows the consultation once Dr. Sedgh has examined the nose and agreed a plan with the patient. How long does a nose job last? The structural changes from rhinoplasty are designed to be permanent, although the nose continues to age naturally with the rest of the face. Swelling settles gradually, and the tip can take a year or more to show its final definition. Dr. Jacob Sedgh follows patients through that first year from his office on Sunset Blvd. Is rhinoplasty 100% safe? No surgery is free of risk. Rhinoplasty carries risks such as bleeding, infection, breathing changes, asymmetry and the possibility of needing revision. Dr. Sedgh, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, reviews medical history, candidacy and specific risks at consultation so patients can make an informed decision before anything is scheduled. How do I choose a rhinoplasty surgeon in Los Angeles? Look at board certification, the surgeon's training, how much of their practice is devoted to the nose, and before and after photos of noses similar to yours. Dr. Jacob Sedgh trained in head and neck surgery at the University of Pittsburgh and completed a facial plastic surgery fellowship at Penn State Hershey, and his practice is limited to the nose, face, ears and neck. A consultation is also a chance to judge how clearly a surgeon explains the plan. Do ENT surgeons do rhinoplasty? Many facial plastic surgeons, including Dr. Sedgh, began in otolaryngology, the ENT specialty, before completing fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. That background means the septum, airway and nasal valves are part of every rhinoplasty plan, not only the outside shape. Patients with breathing complaints can have functional and cosmetic goals assessed together in West Hollywood. Can insurance cover any part of a nose job? Purely cosmetic rhinoplasty is not covered by insurance. Functional work, such as correcting a deviated septum that blocks breathing, may be partly covered when the problem is documented and the plan's criteria are met. Jacob Sedgh, MD can explain which parts of a combined procedure are functional and which are cosmetic; call (310) 888-2884 to ask. What is recovery like after rhinoplasty? Most patients wear a splint for about the first week and see the worst bruising and swelling fade over the following weeks, although every recovery is different. Strenuous exercise, glasses resting on the nose and strong sun are usually limited for a period. Dr. Sedgh uses the Piezo ultrasonic system for bone work, which published studies associate with less early bruising, and he gives each patient written aftercare instructions. Is it better to have a nose job abroad or in Los Angeles? Surgery abroad can look cheaper at first, but follow-up visits, managing complications and any future revision are much harder from another country. Having rhinoplasty in Los Angeles keeps the surgeon within reach for the whole first year of healing. Patients from across the city, including Beverly Hills, Century City, Westwood and Culver City, see Dr. Sedgh at one office on the Sunset Strip. What is male rhinoplasty? Male rhinoplasty adapts the operation to masculine facial features, usually keeping a straighter, stronger bridge and avoiding an over-rotated or overly narrow tip. Many men also want better breathing at the same time. Dr. Jacob Sedgh plans male rhinoplasty around the brow, cheekbones and jawline so the nose stays in proportion with the face. What is revision rhinoplasty and when is it needed? Revision rhinoplasty corrects concerns that remain after an earlier nose surgery, whether cosmetic or functional. It is more intricate than a first operation because of scar tissue, reduced cartilage and changed skin. Dr. Sedgh evaluates the previous surgery and generally advises waiting until the nose has fully settled before planning a revision at his West Hollywood practice. What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty? Open rhinoplasty adds a small incision across the columella, the strip of skin between the nostrils, which gives the surgeon a direct view of the tip structures. Closed rhinoplasty keeps all incisions inside the nose. The right approach depends on the anatomy and the changes needed, and Dr. Sedgh explains his recommendation at consultation. Is a non-surgical nose job permanent? A non-surgical nose job uses injectable filler to smooth a bump or lift the tip, and the effect is temporary. Filler cannot make a nose smaller or improve breathing, and it carries its own risks. Jacob Sedgh, MD offers both injectable and surgical options and can explain which suits a patient's goals; call (310) 888-2884 to book a consultation.
