Rhinoplasty

Dr. Rady Rahban performs primary and revision rhinoplasty at his AAAASF-accredited Lasky Drive Surgery Center in Beverly Hills. Both open and closed techniques are available depending on the degree of refinement required. The practice specialises in ethnic rhinoplasty — preserving heritage features while addressing concerns — male rhinoplasty, revision of previous surgery, rhinoplasty combined with chin implant for improved facial balance, and non-surgical rhinoplasty with fillers. Patients are discharged the same day and wear a nasal splint during the initial healing period; near-final results typically emerge at around six months.

Rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Rady Rahban at his Beverly Hills practice represents one of the most technically demanding disciplines in plastic surgery, requiring mastery of both the aesthetic dimensions of the nose and the underlying functional anatomy of the nasal airway. Dr. Rahban offers two primary surgical approaches: the open rhinoplasty, which employs a small transcolumellar incision combined with bilateral marginal incisions to allow the skin-soft tissue envelope to be elevated and the full nasal skeleton exposed — preferred for complex structural work, revision cases, and significant tip refinement — and the closed rhinoplasty, where all incisions are placed entirely within the nostrils, appropriate for patients requiring moderate dorsal reduction or targeted tip adjustments where the minimal scarring and reduced swelling of the endonasal approach are advantageous. The Beverly Hills practice sees a high proportion of revision rhinoplasty patients — cases involving distorted or over-reduced cartilage frameworks, scar contracture, breathing dysfunction introduced by a prior procedure, or asymmetries that were not resolved in the first surgery. Dr. Rahban's revision protocol commonly involves cartilage grafting, typically sourced from the ear concha or, in more extensive cases, from a rib segment, to rebuild structural support and restore nasal projection and definition. Ethnic rhinoplasty is a subspecialty focus: the goal is refinement that respects the patient's nasal heritage rather than Westernising the profile, with particular attention given to tip definition in thicker-skinned patients and to maintaining cultural nasal identity for patients of Middle Eastern, South Asian, East Asian, and African heritage. Male rhinoplasty addresses the distinct proportional targets appropriate for male nasal anatomy — a slightly higher radix, a straighter dorsal line, and a more acute nasolabial angle than those typically targeted in female rhinoplasty. Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses strategic hyaluronic acid filler placement to camouflage a dorsal hump, lift a drooping tip, or correct minor asymmetries without general anesthesia or downtime. All surgical cases at Rady Rahban MD are performed at the on-site Lasky Drive Surgery Center (Suite 102), an AAAASF-accredited facility with two operating rooms and three recovery bays, allowing same-day discharge with dedicated recovery support. Patients are encouraged to resume light daily activity early in recovery; strenuous exercise is restricted for four to six weeks; and the majority of swelling resolves by three to six months, with complete refinement of the result at twelve months.
