3D imaging for rhinoplasty is a valuable tool that can allow you to visualize what your nose will look like after a “nose job” (rhinoplasty). Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Richard V. Balikian in Murrieta uses 3D imaging for rhinoplasty as part of the consultation process.

Who Can Benefit from 3D Imaging for Rhinoplasty?

3D imaging is particularly beneficial for individuals who are considering rhinoplasty but are unsure about the expected results. It helps patients who want to make subtle or significant changes to their nose by providing a clearer vision of the surgical outcome. Ideal candidates include those:

  • With specific aesthetic goals: Patients who want to adjust their nose’s size, shape, or angle can see how these changes will appear.
  • Who have functional issues: Those looking to address breathing problems or other functional concerns can also see how the procedure will enhance their nasal structure.
  • Seeking revision rhinoplasty: For those who have had previous nose surgeries, 3D imaging helps Dr. Balikian identify areas that may need improvement and ensures the best possible revision results.

How Does 3D Imaging for Rhinoplasty Work?

During your consultation at Balikian Plastic Surgery, Dr. Balikian will listen carefully to your aesthetic and functional goals. He will also review your medical history and conduct a nasal examination. After this discussion, Dr. Balikian will perform 3D imaging to explain what he has in mind for your personalized rhinoplasty.

The 3D imaging technique first involves taking detailed, high-resolution images of the patient’s face. They are then processed using specialized software to create a 3D model of the patient’s face, allowing Dr. Balikian to manipulate and adjust your virtual nose to show how various changes would look.

The interactive model can be viewed from multiple angles, giving patients a thorough understanding of their options. Adjustments can be made in real time, helping patients make informed decisions about their rhinoplasty procedure.
