Dr. Toft's specialized training, attention to detail and exceptional results have earned him a reputation as a renowned Sacramento rhinoplasty surgeon.

Why Choose Dr. Toft

If your nose is out of proportion with your other features, you may feel self-conscious. You may have learned how to pose in photos or how to use makeup to downplay your nose. These are common tricks that many of Dr. Toft's rhinoplasty patients used prior to having their noses reshaped through rhinoplasty. At his Sacramento area practice, Dr. Toft performs rhinoplasty to:

  • Narrow a wide bridge
  • Refine a bulbous tip
  • Smooth a prominent dorsal hump
  • Correct large or wide nostrils

Rhinoplasty is one of Dr. Toft's favorite procedures to perform because it can make such a positive difference in a person's appearance.

Kenneth M. Toft, M.D. the EXPERT in facial plastic surgery

Dr. Toft's training, experience, and practice are dedicated entirely to the art and science of facial enhancement.

Your Consultation

A number of options can be employed to customize your rhinoplasty procedure. During your private consultation, Dr. Toft will discuss these choices with you. He will assess all of your features, taking into account such factors as your ethnicity, your chin projection and other facial characteristics. Then together, you and Dr. Toft can decide upon the best look for you.

Patients often find that more than one area of the face is contributing to a lack of harmony. If he feels it would be beneficial, Dr. Toft will discuss the possibility of an additional procedure to complement your nose surgery, such as chin implant surgery or neck liposuction.

A great way to understand nose reshaping and the changes it can create is to look at other patients' before-and-after photos. See how Dr. Toft customizes each procedure to create the ideal nose for every patient.

The Procedure

Dr. Toft is an authority on the 2 primary methods for rhinoplasty:

  • Closed Rhinoplasty: The incisions are hidden inside the nose, so there are no visible signs of surgery. Dr. Toft typically recommends closed rhinoplasty, and he is able to correct most concerns with this approach.
  • Open Rhinoplasty: A small, inconspicuous incision is made across the columella, the thin strip of tissue between the nostrils. This allows Dr. Toft greater access to the anatomy of the nose during extensive correction. This approach is usually only needed for more complicated procedures.

Dr. Toft will perform isolated tip rhinoplasty, dorsum rhinoplasty or full rhinoplasty, depending on the patient's needs.

Your Recovery

Dr. Toft uses minimally invasive techniques so that the recovery process for his rhinoplasty patients will be as comfortable as possible. He typically uses no nasal packing, and patients rarely experience bruising around the eyes.

Pain medication may be needed for the first 2 to 3 days, but people typically report feeling good within 4 to 5 days of surgery. A support splint is taken off after a week, and many patients are 80% recovered after 2 weeks. Within a month of surgery, patients should be at 90% in the recovery process with no major restrictions.

Expected Results

Because it is normal for minor swelling to linger, Dr. Toft tells patients that their new look will evolve over time, with final results expected in 6 months to 1 year.

Dr. Toft believes that you should have nose surgery only when and if it is right for you. A private consultation provides the perfect environment to learn more about rhinoplasty and to benefit from Dr. Toft's personal evaluation and surgical advice. This is the best way to ensure results you'll love.
