Nose Surgery in Sacramento, CA
Achieve Facial Balance
Sacramento Rhinoplasty at Folsom Plastic Surgery
Popular among both men and women, rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and resizes the nose. Whether you have suffered trauma to the face or were born with a nose that you dislike, rhinoplasty can remedy nasal insecurities as well as breathing difficulties by correcting septal deviation (crookedness inside the nose) and is one of the few procedures that has both aesthetic and reconstructive purposes.

What Are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty?
Reduction of a Nasal Hump
Nasal humps are a common concern among rhinoplasty patients. A prominent hump can significantly alter the profile of the nose and can be detrimental to your self-esteem and confidence. Rhinoplasty allows Dr. Mabourakh to shave down the bone or cartilage to reveal a smoother profile.
Adjustment of the Nasal Tip
Noses with drooping tips often appear overly long, whereas noses with upturned tips appear too small for the face. Rhinoplasty can rotate the nasal tip up so that the angle between the nose and the upper lip creates balance between the features. The size of the tip can also be changed to have a more balanced and natural look.
Narrowed Nostrils
Flared nostrils can make the nose appear wider and flatter than it is. By narrowing the nostrils, you can achieve a nasal appearance that is slimmer and more proportional.
Ease of Breathing
A deviated septum can be caused by injury or a nasal deformity and results in one side of the nasal passage being larger than the other. While this may not seem important, a deviated septum can affect your ability to breathe properly. Rhinoplasty combined with septoplasty repairs this deviation and opens your airways.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Dissatisfaction with one’s nasal appearance is one of the most common aesthetic concerns. Individuals considering rhinoplasty are looking to change the size of their nose, alter the projection, remove a nasal bridge bump, or narrow the nostrils. Candidates for rhinoplasty need to be at least 16 years old with a fully developed nose. Individuals should be physically healthy, non-smokers, psychologically stable, and have realistic expectations of their results.
The best way to determine if you are a candidate for rhinoplasty is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mabourakh, who will discuss your goals and help you determine if this is the right procedure for you. Feel free to call (916) 984-8585 or contact us for additional information to get started.
What Are My Rhinoplasty Options?
Closed Rhinoplasty
The closed rhinoplasty approach is Dr. Mabourakh’s preferred technique when correcting a nasal hump (also called dorsal hump). During a closed rhinoplasty procedure, all incisions are made within the nostrils so there is no visible scarring. Through these incisions, nasal concerns such as an enlarged hump, drooping or upturned tip, and a deviated septum can be addressed.
Open Rhinoplasty
As the preferred method when dealing with nasal tip deformities, open rhinoplasty is performed in more complex cases that require greater visualization of the underlying structures. For this technique, a small incision is made under the lower part of the columella (the strip of tissue separating the nostrils), allowing full exposure and the ability to completely correct any nasal abnormalities. This scar is very small, heals well, and is well hidden.
How Rhinoplasty Is Performed?
Preparing for Your Rhinoplasty
Dr. Mabourakh will give you pre-surgery instructions that should be followed closely to minimize the risk of complications. The instructions may include (but are not limited to):
- Getting certain lab tests done
- Quitting smoking for at least six weeks before and after surgery for a better recovery
- Stopping or adjusting the dosage of certain medications and supplements that may thin the blood
What to Expect During Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia or twilight sleep (monitored anesthesia care), depending on the extent of the surgery and your personal preference. Nasal reshaping will correct any deformities, and breathing problems can also be resolved at the same time.
Rhinoplasty Recovery & Aftercare
Rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure. You will need a driver present to take you home and stay with you for the first night. A splint is worn during rhinoplasty recovery to help maintain the nose’s shape as it heals. Soft internal nasal splints may also be used to stabilize the septum. Dr. Mabourakh does not use nasal packing, and you can breathe through your nose after surgery.
During the first few days of your recovery, we recommend resting, but don’t stay in bed all day. Keep your head elevated, and you will be able to drive the next day, provided you are off your pain medication. Ice application will help reduce swelling. Most patients experience a “stuffy” nose for several weeks due to swelling that impairs the nasal airway. You should refrain from blowing your nose for one to two weeks to allow the tissues to heal. Most patients feel up to returning to work within three to five days, but should avoid strenuous activities for two to three weeks.
What Results Can I Expect From Rhinoplasty?
Post-operative bruising and swelling around the eyes are common. Unfortunately, this bruising will get worse before it gets better. Most patients see the height of their bruising and swelling two to three days post-surgery. Cold compresses and prescribed pain medication can remedy any discomfort.
Results are permanent, but residual swelling may linger for up to a year. This minor swelling will resolve in time, so do not be concerned. Final rhinoplasty results create facial balance by minimizing the appearance of the nose, making the other facial features, such as the eyes, more noticeable. Other results include an increase in self-confidence and satisfaction.
