With structural rhinoplasty, Dr. Mehta takes a modern approach to the nose job. He focuses on enhancing and strengthening the underlying nasal structure—to create a nose that looks natural and functions flawlessly.

The Modern Nose Job Balancing Form and Function

For a rhinoplasty to be successful, the surgeon must respect the patient’s functional needs. It’s not enough to create a beautiful nose; the internal structures must be addressed. Otherwise, you could experience nasal collapse, difficulty breathing, and other negative outcomes.

Dr. Mehta protects our San Francisco rhinoplasty patients from these outcomes by focusing on optimal aesthetics and optimal function. He creates noses that are smaller and more balanced on the outside and open, strong, and stable on the inside.

Is Structural Rhinoplasty Right for You?

If you want to improve the appearance and function of your nose, you will benefit from structural rhinoplasty in San Francisco at Mehta Plastic Surgery. Dr. Mehta will perform this approach if you have:

Breathing difficulties. If your breathing is suboptimal, structural rhinoplasty can address functional concerns and improve airflow.
Nasal collapse. Structural rhinoplasty techniques like cartilage and graft placements can prevent nasal collapse by providing the foundational support you need.
Weak nasal framework. If your nasal framework is weak, structural rhinoplasty can build up the area and create more stability.

Structural Rhinoplasty Techniques

Septoplasty. Septoplasty is done to correct a deviated septum. Not only can this improve your breathing, but it can also stabilize your nose.
Cartilage grafts. If we need to improve airflow and structural integrity, Dr. Mehta may use cartilage grafts to shape and strengthen your nose.
Alar batten grafts. Alar batten grafts are specifically used to ensure proper airflow and prevent nasal collapse by providing support to the nasal sidewalls.

Structural Rhinoplasty and Preservation Rhinoplasty A Perfect Match for Exquisite Results

Structural rhinoplasty involves adjusting the nasal framework to create a beautiful nose that functions well. The surgeon lifts the nasal skin, removes or reshapes bone and cartilage, and adds cartilage grafts to support the area and achieve the desired shape. It’s a highly predictable, versatile, and long-lasting surgical approach that yields beautiful outcomes.

Dr. Mehta blends structural rhinoplasty with preservation rhinoplasty, which emphasizes saving as much of the nasal structure and tissue as possible. For example, instead of removing the dorsal hump entirely, he will reposition it. He’ll save the nasal ligaments so the nose retains its natural elasticity and shape. In combining these two approaches, he gets the best of both worlds with:

Natural, predictable results due to the preservation of your natural nasal structures
Improved function and a lower risk of breathing difficulties
An easier recovery period with less swelling and bruising
