Whether you’re looking for Botox or a facelift, the best plastic surgeon for your procedure is Dr. David K. Hiranaka, M.D., D.M.D. in Kona, HI. A Harvard-trained surgeon who has been practicing for over 20 years, he’s equipped to help you achieve your ideal look with safe and effective procedures.

A common procedure in Dr. Hiranaka’s office is rhinoplasty, or plastic surgery for the nose. This operation is quick and painless: it’s an outpatient procedure, meaning you’ll be able to go home that day, and IV sedation ensures you feel no pain during surgery. 

Before your rhinoplasty, you’ll need to undergo an extensive medical history exam to ensure that this procedure is right for you. Dr. Hiranaka will discuss your options and the future appearance of your nose as well as take photographs, which will help him plan for the best possible outcome.

After you receive the proper IV sedation on the day of the surgery, Dr. Hiranaka will make small cuts within your nostrils. On few occasions, he may also need to make incisions at the base of your nose. After reshaping the bones and cartilage within the nose to achieve the desired appearance, your nose will be covered up by the skin and you’ll be on your way to recovery, which you can expect to last one to two weeks.

There are many reasons you may be interested in rhinoplasty. In addition to being used to alter the appearance of the nose if you are dissatisfied with it—whether because of natural appearance or because of an accident—rhinoplasty can also help to assist those with breathing difficulties and other disorders such as sleep apnea.
