Is an open or closed rhinoplasty right for you?

The decision between an open or closed rhinoplasty technique is critical, and it depends entirely on your specific needs.

Dr. Farzad R. Nahai discusses who is the best candidate for each approach:

➡️ Closed Rhinoplasty is often ideal for patients needing minor adjustments and tip refinement, as all incisions are internal, leaving no visible external scar.

➡️ Open Rhinoplasty is typically reserved for patients needing more significant structural changes or revision work, as the small external incision allows for maximum visibility and precision.

The best method is the one that achieves your aesthetic goals safely and effectively!

Ready for a personalized assessment? Schedule your Plastic Surgery consultation with Dr. Nahai at MetroDerm's Center for Plastic Surgery - Sandy Springs to determine the optimal approach for your rhinoplasty.

📰 In the News! 📰

Dr. Pearl Rimtepathip, Board-Certified Dermatologist at MetroDerm, was recently featured in CNN’s article “Is urea skin care the secret to solving dry skin? We asked derms about this underrated ingredient.”

In the piece, Dr. Rimtepathip shared her insights on the benefits of urea-based skin care, noting:
“It’s a no-frills, deeply hydrating body cream that works beautifully for those with dry skin.”

She also emphasized the importance of personalizing your routine:
“If you have concerns or underlying skin conditions, speak with your Dermatologist to determine if urea is a good choice for you, and to discuss how much to use and how often.”

Urea-based products can help improve hydration, smooth rough areas, and support the skin barrier – making them a great option for anyone with dry, rough, or compromised skin.

This is what happens when a personalized approach meets a patient's goals. ✨

In this stunning before and after, we addressed two key pain points: a lack of jawline definition and mid-face volume loss. To achieve this balanced and defined profile, we used:

KYBELLA®: An injectable treatment used to permanently dissolve fat cells under the chin, resulting in a significantly sharper and more defined jawline.

VOLUMA®: A type of Juvéderm® dermal filler used to restore and add volume to the cheeks, lifting the mid-face and giving a more youthful, refreshed contour.

The result is a natural-looking transformation that brings the whole face into harmony, achieving a defined, refreshed look.

Ready to see what's possible for your unique goals? Our Cosmetic Dermatology team will create a custom plan for your aesthetic transformation.

Schedule your consultation today at MetroDerm's Center for Plastic Surgery - Sandy Springs or MetroDerm's Center for Plastic Surgery - Buckhead, and take the first step toward your own transformation.
