Rhinoplasty is a highly specialized procedure designed to refine the shape of the nose and improve overall facial harmony. At The Andochick Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Frederick, MD, patients work directly with Dr. Scott Andochick, a board-certified Plastic Surgeon with more than three decades of experience. His approach focuses on subtle, natural refinement that helps the nose blend smoothly with surrounding features.
What Rhinoplasty May Improve
The nose plays a central role in facial balance. Rhinoplasty may help adjust the bridge, tip, nostrils, or overall nasal proportions to create a more harmonious appearance. Some patients seek a straighter profile, a more defined tip, or improved symmetry. Others simply want the nose to appear less prominent. Dr. Andochick aims for results that look refined without appearing operated on.
Who May Be a Good Candidate
Adults who feel their nose does not match their facial proportions or who want to address specific features—such as a dorsal hump, wide tip, or asymmetry—may benefit from rhinoplasty. During the consultation, Dr. Andochick evaluates nasal structure, skin characteristics, breathing considerations, and overall facial shape. His recommendations are personalized to support each patient’s goals while maintaining facial balance.
How the Procedure Works
Rhinoplasty may be performed using an open or closed approach. The decision depends on the patient’s anatomy and the level of detail needed to achieve a desired outcome. Dr. Andochick focuses on reshaping cartilage and bone with precision, aiming for a smooth transition between the nose and surrounding facial features.
The procedure is performed in the practice’s QUAD A–accredited private operating room. This on-site facility allows for a controlled, private, and safe environment where Dr. Andochick and his board-certified anesthesia team manage the entire surgical experience with consistency and attention to detail.
Functional Considerations
While rhinoplasty is often chosen for aesthetic reasons, some patients want to address breathing issues related to internal nasal structure. When appropriate, Dr. Andochick may incorporate techniques to help improve airflow while refining the external shape. Details are reviewed thoroughly during the consultation so patients understand all available options.
Recovery and Results
As swelling gradually settles, patients begin to see the nose take on a more defined, balanced shape. Results continue to refine over time as the tissues adjust. Dr. Andochick provides clear aftercare guidance and follow-up visits to support a comfortable and confident recovery process. The final look is intended to feel natural and well-suited to the patient’s overall appearance.
Complementary Procedures
Some patients choose to combine rhinoplasty with a chin-focused procedure or facial rejuvenation to enhance overall balance. Others incorporate subtle non-surgical treatments to complete their aesthetic goals. Dr. Andochick discusses these options openly, helping patients choose the approach that feels right for them.
