Let’s explore the newest advancements in nose surgery and what you can expect from your rhinoplasty journey.
The Evolution of Rhinoplasty: Embracing Scarless Techniques
Traditional rhinoplasty often involved external incisions, leading to visible scarring and extended recovery times. However, Dr. Bloom has pioneered the endonasal, or "scarless," rhinoplasty technique, which he employs in over 90% of primary nose surgeries. This method involves making all incisions within the nostrils, eliminating external scars, and promoting a faster healing process.
Benefits of endonasal (scarless) rhinoplasty:
- All incisions are made within the nostrils, meaning no external scarring
- Faster recovery time, with most patients returning to their daily routines within a week
- Minimal bruising and swelling thanks to less invasive methods
- Ideal for primary (first-time) rhinoplasty patients
Dr. Shtraks, trained under world-renowned surgeons in Beverly Hills, also specializes in both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques. Her approach is tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring harmonious and natural results.
Personalized Consultations: Visualizing Your Ideal Outcome

Recovery and Results: What to Anticipate Post-Surgery
Recovery times can vary based on the surgical technique used. With Dr. Bloom's endonasal approach, patients often see significant improvements within a week, with minimal residual swelling. Traditional open rhinoplasty may require a longer healing period, but both methods aim for enduring, natural-looking results.
Typical post-surgery timeline and expectations:
- One-week recovery for endonasal rhinoplasty with minimal swelling
- Longer recovery for open rhinoplasty may be necessary
- Follow-up appointments a scheduled at 1 week, 3 weeks, 1 month, and 3–6–12 months
- Most patients resume normal activities shortly after surgery
