Dr. Jacob Sedgh Training Path Behind His Los Angeles Nose Job Practice

Every surgeon arrives at private practice by a particular route, and for a rhinoplasty patient that route says a good deal about what the surgeon was taught to prioritize. Dr. Jacob Sedgh's path runs through four institutions, starting in Southern California, moving north to San Francisco, then east to Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania, before bringing him back to Southern California and the Sunset Strip office where he now practices. The first stage was medical school at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, where he earned his MD. Medical school is broad by design, covering the whole of human biology and clinical medicine, and it is where future surgeons build the general foundation that every later specialty depends on. From there he moved to UCSF for his internship. An internship is the first year of hands-on clinical training after graduation, a demanding year of patient care across hospital services that prepares a young doctor for the more focused years of residency.

Residency took place at the University of Pittsburgh, in otolaryngology, the specialty also called head and neck surgery or ENT. This is the stage that shaped his understanding of the nose as a working organ. Otolaryngology residents spend years on the nasal airway, the septum, the sinuses and the delicate structures that control breathing, and they learn to operate within that anatomy. He is board certified in otolaryngology as a result of that training. The final stage was a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. Fellowship is optional, additional training that a surgeon chooses in order to concentrate on a narrower field, and in this case the focus was the aesthetics and reconstruction of the face, including rhinoplasty. He is now a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Taken together, the sequence explains how his practice is organized today. It is limited to the nose, face, ears and neck, and rhinoplasty is the main focus, including primary and revision rhinoplasty, ethnic and Asian rhinoplasty, male rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty and functional nasal surgery for a deviated septum or breathing problems. He also uses the Piezo ultrasonic system, which reshapes nasal bone with micro-vibrations rather than manual rasps and osteotomes. Published studies have reported less bruising and swelling in the first week with this approach, although individual recovery varies. For patients researching a Los Angeles nose job from Westwood near UCLA, from Bel Air or from Rancho Park, training history is one useful piece of information among several, alongside the consultation itself and a candid discussion of what is and is not realistic for their own anatomy. Results differ from one person to the next, and a medical evaluation decides whether surgery is appropriate. To talk through your goals, the risks involved and what recovery tends to involve, call (310) 888-2884 and arrange a consultation at 9201 Sunset Blvd, Suite 414, in West Hollywood. The office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with consultations by appointment.

Jacob Sedgh, MD Address: 9201 Sunset Blvd Suite 414, West Hollywood, CA 90069 Phone: (310) 888-2884 FAQ About Los Angeles Nose Job What is the average cost of a nose job in Los Angeles? There is no single figure, because the fee depends on whether the surgery is primary or revision, how much structural work is needed, and the anesthesia and surgical facility costs. Revision and combined functional and cosmetic cases usually take longer than a straightforward primary rhinoplasty. At Jacob Sedgh, MD in West Hollywood, a written quote follows the consultation once Dr. Sedgh has examined the nose and agreed a plan with the patient. How long does a nose job last? The structural changes from rhinoplasty are designed to be permanent, although the nose continues to age naturally with the rest of the face. Swelling settles gradually, and the tip can take a year or more to show its final definition. Dr. Jacob Sedgh follows patients through that first year from his office on Sunset Blvd. Is rhinoplasty 100% safe? No surgery is free of risk. Rhinoplasty carries risks such as bleeding, infection, breathing changes, asymmetry and the possibility of needing revision. Dr. Sedgh, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, reviews medical history, candidacy and specific risks at consultation so patients can make an informed decision before anything is scheduled. How do I choose a rhinoplasty surgeon in Los Angeles? Look at board certification, the surgeon's training, how much of their practice is devoted to the nose, and before and after photos of noses similar to yours. Dr. Jacob Sedgh trained in head and neck surgery at the University of Pittsburgh and completed a facial plastic surgery fellowship at Penn State Hershey, and his practice is limited to the nose, face, ears and neck. A consultation is also a chance to judge how clearly a surgeon explains the plan. Do ENT surgeons do rhinoplasty? Many facial plastic surgeons, including Dr. Sedgh, began in otolaryngology, the ENT specialty, before completing fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. That background means the septum, airway and nasal valves are part of every rhinoplasty plan, not only the outside shape. Patients with breathing complaints can have functional and cosmetic goals assessed together in West Hollywood. Can insurance cover any part of a nose job? Purely cosmetic rhinoplasty is not covered by insurance. Functional work, such as correcting a deviated septum that blocks breathing, may be partly covered when the problem is documented and the plan's criteria are met. Jacob Sedgh, MD can explain which parts of a combined procedure are functional and which are cosmetic; call (310) 888-2884 to ask. What is recovery like after rhinoplasty? Most patients wear a splint for about the first week and see the worst bruising and swelling fade over the following weeks, although every recovery is different. Strenuous exercise, glasses resting on the nose and strong sun are usually limited for a period. Dr. Sedgh uses the Piezo ultrasonic system for bone work, which published studies associate with less early bruising, and he gives each patient written aftercare instructions. Is it better to have a nose job abroad or in Los Angeles? Surgery abroad can look cheaper at first, but follow-up visits, managing complications and any future revision are much harder from another country. Having rhinoplasty in Los Angeles keeps the surgeon within reach for the whole first year of healing. Patients from across the city, including Beverly Hills, Century City, Westwood and Culver City, see Dr. Sedgh at one office on the Sunset Strip. What is male rhinoplasty? Male rhinoplasty adapts the operation to masculine facial features, usually keeping a straighter, stronger bridge and avoiding an over-rotated or overly narrow tip. Many men also want better breathing at the same time. Dr. Jacob Sedgh plans male rhinoplasty around the brow, cheekbones and jawline so the nose stays in proportion with the face. What is revision rhinoplasty and when is it needed? Revision rhinoplasty corrects concerns that remain after an earlier nose surgery, whether cosmetic or functional. It is more intricate than a first operation because of scar tissue, reduced cartilage and changed skin. Dr. Sedgh evaluates the previous surgery and generally advises waiting until the nose has fully settled before planning a revision at his West Hollywood practice. What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty? Open rhinoplasty adds a small incision across the columella, the strip of skin between the nostrils, which gives the surgeon a direct view of the tip structures. Closed rhinoplasty keeps all incisions inside the nose. The right approach depends on the anatomy and the changes needed, and Dr. Sedgh explains his recommendation at consultation. Is a non-surgical nose job permanent? A non-surgical nose job uses injectable filler to smooth a bump or lift the tip, and the effect is temporary. Filler cannot make a nose smaller or improve breathing, and it carries its own risks. Jacob Sedgh, MD offers both injectable and surgical options and can explain which suits a patient's goals; call (310) 888-2884 to book a consultation.
