What Is Rhinoplasty?

Nose reshaping surgery enhances both the appearance and function of the nose by refining its shape, size, and structure. It can correct cosmetic concerns such as a hump, asymmetry, or bulbous tip, as well as functional issues such as breathing difficulties. Each procedure is customized to create natural-looking results that complement facial features.

What Can Rhinoplasty Do?

Nose surgery improves the aesthetic and functional aspects of the nose. Patients interested in the procedure usually want to correct one or more of these issues:

  • Large or small nose
  • Long or flat nose
  • Narrow, wide, or bulbous nose tip
  • Wide, low, or rounded bridge
  • Turned-down or turned-up nose
  • Crooked nose
  • Long columella (tissue between the nostrils)
  • Uneven, flared, or narrow nostrils
  • Nose-related breathing difficulties
  • Injury-related irregularities
  • Undesirable results from a previous rhinoplasty (revision rhinoplasty)

Many rhinoplasty patients combine their surgery with other facial procedures, such as a facelift and neck lift. Patients of all ages often complement their new noses with nonsurgical med spa services.

Our Approach to Rhinoplasty

At our practice, we perform open rhinoplasty, a technique that involves making a small incision across the columella, the strip of tissue between the nostrils. This approach provides your surgeon with a clear view of the internal nasal anatomy, making it especially effective for procedures that involve more complex structural changes or refined shaping.

Nose surgery is an outpatient procedure that can be performed using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

Rhinoplasty Cost

The price of nose surgery varies depending on the nature of your concerns and the techniques your surgeon uses during the procedure.

When choosing a surgeon for any cosmetic surgery—especially for a complex procedure such as rhinoplasty—the training, experience, and demonstrated results should carry more weight than cost. Patients travel from the Scottsdale area to Gilbert to have an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon perform their surgeries.

What To Expect After Your Procedure

You will likely wear a splint on your nose for up to 1 week to protect and stabilize it after surgery. Dressings and non-dissolving sutures will be removed after about a week or sooner. Avoid strenuous activities for about 3 weeks.

Recovery depends on your body and the specifics of the procedure. Temporary bruising and swelling will appear around the nose, eyes, and cheeks. Bruising usually resolves after about a week, with visible swelling lasting several weeks.

Your results should be apparent after only a few weeks, but residual swelling can linger for months. Subtle changes can continue for the first year.
