Primary Rhinoplasty at Coastline Plastic Surgery is a transformative procedure that reshapes the nose to improve facial harmony and enhance functionality. Dr. Dunn combines meticulous technique with an artistic eye to tailor the nose’s appearance to the patient’s desired outcome, addressing the bridge, tip, and nostrils, or correcting breathing issues stemming from structural irregularities.
Alongside traditional rhinoplasty, Dr. Dunn also offers non-surgical alternatives like liquid rhinoplasty for those seeking less invasive options. This involves injectable fillers to subtly alter the nose’s shape. During your consultation, Dr. Dunn will discuss all available options to determine the best path for your aesthetic goals.

Ideal candidates are individuals looking to alter the size or shape of their nose, seeking improvement not perfection, and in good overall health. Rhinoplasty can address a range of concerns, from cosmetic enhancements to functional improvements.
While the appearance of your nose will improve over the first few weeks, the final results of rhinoplasty may take up to a year to fully manifest as the swelling subsides. Dr. Dunn will monitor your progress to ensure optimal healing.
The procedure can involve reshaping the bone and cartilage, refining the nasal tip, and altering the size of the nostrils. Dr. Dunn customizes the surgical plan for each patient, considering their specific anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Recovery typically involves swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to work after one to two weeks. Full activity can often be resumed within a few weeks, although complete healing can take up to a year.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, or the need for revision surgery, which Dr. Dunn will discuss during the consultation. It's important to follow all pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize these risks.
