Hybrid Rhinoplasty

Combining the best of functional and aesthetic nasal surgery.

What Is a Hybrid Rhinoplasty?

A hybrid rhinoplasty is an advanced nasal surgery technique that combines both functional and aesthetic improvements in a single procedure. Whether you’re looking to enhance the appearance of your nose or improve its functionality, hybrid rhinoplasty offers a unique solution by addressing both concerns simultaneously. Dr. Nasser combines his expertise in both cosmetic and reconstructive techniques to deliver results that not only look natural but also restore optimal nasal function.

Why Choose a Hybrid Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can be performed for cosmetic reasons (to enhance the appearance of the nose) or functional reasons (to improve breathing or correct structural issues). A hybrid rhinoplasty is a combination of both. This procedure is ideal for individuals who are seeking an aesthetic improvement while also needing functional enhancement, such as correcting a deviated septum, addressing nasal airway issues, or repairing damage from a previous injury.

By addressing both cosmetic and functional issues, a hybrid rhinoplasty allows you to achieve a beautiful, well-balanced nose while improving your ability to breathe and live a healthier life.

What Does a
Hybrid Rhinoplasty Treat?

A hybrid rhinoplasty can address both aesthetic and functional issues of the nose. Common conditions and concerns that can be treated with this procedure include:

Cosmetic Concerns

Functional Concerns

Correcting a deviated septum, which can cause difficulty breathing
Repairing nasal valve collapse to improve airflow
Fixing internal nasal obstruction caused by enlarged turbinates or polyps
Restoring functionality after trauma or injury to the nose

How Does a Hybrid Rhinoplasty Work?

Hybrid rhinoplasty combines both closed and open techniques to improve the appearance and function of the nose. Dr. Nasser uses this approach to reshape the nose for aesthetic enhancement while addressing internal issues like nasal obstruction. The procedure involves a thorough consultation to assess both cosmetic and functional goals, followed by surgical planning to address external and internal concerns. Incisions are strategically made for minimal visible scarring, and breathing enhancements, such as septoplasty or turbinate reduction, may be included. A customized recovery plan ensures optimal healing and results, blending both aesthetic and functional improvements.

Benefits of a Hybrid Rhinoplasty

A hybrid rhinoplasty offers a range of benefits, especially for patients who seek both cosmetic enhancement and improved nasal function:

Improved Aesthetics: Achieve a natural-looking, balanced nose that enhances facial harmony.
Better Breathing: Address internal issues that may have been causing nasal obstruction, improving airflow and breathing.
Faster Recovery: The combination of closed and open techniques reduces recovery time compared to traditional open rhinoplasty alone.
Long-Term Results: A hybrid rhinoplasty offers lasting improvements in both appearance and function, helping patients feel confident and breathe freely for years.

Who Is a Candidate for a Hybrid Rhinoplasty?

You may be a candidate for a hybrid rhinoplasty if you:

Are looking to improve the appearance of your nose while also addressing functional issues such as difficulty breathing.
Have experienced trauma or injury to the nose that has impacted both form and function.
Have a deviated septum, nasal obstruction, or other functional issues that impair your breathing.
Want a more balanced, refined nose that complements the rest of your facial features.

Dr. Nasser will carefully assess your needs during a consultation and determine if a hybrid rhinoplasty is the best option for you.

What to Expect After Surgery

After a hybrid rhinoplasty, you can expect a recovery period of about 7-10 days, with swelling and bruising gradually subsiding in the first two weeks. Most patients return to work or light activities after 1-2 weeks, though strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 3-6 weeks.

Here’s what to expect:

Swelling and Bruising: Some swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes are common after the surgery, but these effects usually resolve within a few weeks.
Nasal Packing and Splints: In some cases, Dr. Nasser may use nasal packing or splints to help stabilize the nasal passages during the healing process.
Follow-Up Appointments: Dr. Nasser will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing, remove any splints, and ensure that you are breathing comfortably.
Long-Term Results: It may take up to a year for the full results of your hybrid rhinoplasty to be visible, with swelling continuing to subside over time

Most patients return to work or light activities within 7-10 days. Avoid strenuous activities for about 3-6 weeks.

How long will the results of hybrid rhinoplasty last?

The results of the hybrid rhinoplasty are long-lasting, though ongoing nasal health and good self-care will help maintain results over time.
