Asian Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles With Dr. Jacob Sedgh

Goals for Asian rhinoplasty are often the reverse of what people picture when they Los Angeles Nose Job hear the words nose job. Rather than making a nose smaller, many patients of East and Southeast Asian heritage want more height along a low bridge, better definition at a soft or rounded tip, or a little more projection so the nose stands out from the face in profile. Others want to narrow a wide nasal base. The common thread is a request for refinement that still looks like their own face. Dr. Jacob Sedgh is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon whose West Hollywood practice includes Asian rhinoplasty alongside ethnic, primary and revision procedures. He is board certified in otolaryngology and completed fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, a background that covers both the appearance of the nose and the way it works. Because many Asian noses have thicker skin and smaller, softer cartilage, adding structure is often central to the plan. Building up the bridge or supporting the tip may involve cartilage grafts, and the source and type of material is decided individually after examination.

Preserving ethnic identity is a theme patients raise again and again. A bridge built too high or a tip made too narrow can look out of character with the eyes, cheeks and lips around it. The aim in a careful consultation is proportion. The surgeon studies the whole face, including the brow, the distance between the eyes and the chin, and talks through which changes would sit naturally with those features. Every nose is different, thick skin can limit how much fine definition shows, and results vary from one person to the next. Patients are encouraged to bring photos of what they like and dislike, which helps the conversation stay specific. Some patients also ask about eyelid procedures, and Asian eyelid surgery is among the other procedures offered at the practice, although each operation is planned on its own merits and only when appropriate. People researching a Los Angeles nose job of this kind come from across the city, including Westwood near UCLA, Palms along the Expo Line, Mid-Wilshire, Rancho Park and Culver City, then head up La Cienega or along Santa Monica Boulevard to the Sunset Strip. During consultation, the risks of grafting and surgery are discussed openly, a medical evaluation determines candidacy, and cost is quoted based on complexity, anesthesia and facility fees. Recovery is also covered in detail, since swelling in thicker skin can take longer to settle. To book an Asian rhinoplasty consultation, call (310) 888-2884. Dr. Sedgh sees patients at 9201 Sunset Blvd, Suite 414, in West Hollywood, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm by appointment.

Jacob Sedgh, MD Address: 9201 Sunset Blvd Suite 414, West Hollywood, CA 90069 Phone: (310) 888-2884 FAQ About Los Angeles Nose Job What is the average cost of a nose job in Los Angeles? There is no single figure, because the fee depends on whether the surgery is primary or revision, how much structural work is needed, and the anesthesia and surgical facility costs. Revision and combined functional and cosmetic cases usually take longer than a straightforward primary rhinoplasty. At Jacob Sedgh, MD in West Hollywood, a written quote follows the consultation once Dr. Sedgh has examined the nose and agreed a plan with the patient. How long does a nose job last? The structural changes from rhinoplasty are designed to be permanent, although the nose continues to age naturally with the rest of the face. Swelling settles gradually, and the tip can take a year or more to show its final definition. Dr. Jacob Sedgh follows patients through that first year from his office on Sunset Blvd. Is rhinoplasty 100% safe? No surgery is free of risk. Rhinoplasty carries risks such as bleeding, infection, breathing changes, asymmetry and the possibility of needing revision. Dr. Sedgh, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, reviews medical history, candidacy and specific risks at consultation so patients can make an informed decision before anything is scheduled. How do I choose a rhinoplasty surgeon in Los Angeles? Look at board certification, the surgeon's training, how much of their practice is devoted to the nose, and before and after photos of noses similar to yours. Dr. Jacob Sedgh trained in head and neck surgery at the University of Pittsburgh and completed a facial plastic surgery fellowship at Penn State Hershey, and his practice is limited to the nose, face, ears and neck. A consultation is also a chance to judge how clearly a surgeon explains the plan. Do ENT surgeons do rhinoplasty? Many facial plastic surgeons, including Dr. Sedgh, began in otolaryngology, the ENT specialty, before completing fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. That background means the septum, airway and nasal valves are part of every rhinoplasty plan, not only the outside shape. Patients with breathing complaints can have functional and cosmetic goals assessed together in West Hollywood. Can insurance cover any part of a nose job? Purely cosmetic rhinoplasty is not covered by insurance. Functional work, such as correcting a deviated septum that blocks breathing, may be partly covered when the problem is documented and the plan's criteria are met. Jacob Sedgh, MD can explain which parts of a combined procedure are functional and which are cosmetic; call (310) 888-2884 to ask. What is recovery like after rhinoplasty? Most patients wear a splint for about the first week and see the worst bruising and swelling fade over the following weeks, although every recovery is different. Strenuous exercise, glasses resting on the nose and strong sun are usually limited for a period. Dr. Sedgh uses the Piezo ultrasonic system for bone work, which published studies associate with less early bruising, and he gives each patient written aftercare instructions. Is it better to have a nose job abroad or in Los Angeles? Surgery abroad can look cheaper at first, but follow-up visits, managing complications and any future revision are much harder from another country. Having rhinoplasty in Los Angeles keeps the surgeon within reach for the whole first year of healing. Patients from across the city, including Beverly Hills, Century City, Westwood and Culver City, see Dr. Sedgh at one office on the Sunset Strip. What is male rhinoplasty? Male rhinoplasty adapts the operation to masculine facial features, usually keeping a straighter, stronger bridge and avoiding an over-rotated or overly narrow tip. Many men also want better breathing at the same time. Dr. Jacob Sedgh plans male rhinoplasty around the brow, cheekbones and jawline so the nose stays in proportion with the face. What is revision rhinoplasty and when is it needed? Revision rhinoplasty corrects concerns that remain after an earlier nose surgery, whether cosmetic or functional. It is more intricate than a first operation because of scar tissue, reduced cartilage and changed skin. Dr. Sedgh evaluates the previous surgery and generally advises waiting until the nose has fully settled before planning a revision at his West Hollywood practice. What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty? Open rhinoplasty adds a small incision across the columella, the strip of skin between the nostrils, which gives the surgeon a direct view of the tip structures. Closed rhinoplasty keeps all incisions inside the nose. The right approach depends on the anatomy and the changes needed, and Dr. Sedgh explains his recommendation at consultation. Is a non-surgical nose job permanent? A non-surgical nose job uses injectable filler to smooth a bump or lift the tip, and the effect is temporary. Filler cannot make a nose smaller or improve breathing, and it carries its own risks. Jacob Sedgh, MD offers both injectable and surgical options and can explain which suits a patient's goals; call (310) 888-2884 to book a consultation.
