Rhinoplasty Before & Afters
Optimize Your Appearance with a Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills
Your nose is one of the most defining features of your face—it frames your expressions, balances your proportions, and plays a key role in your overall aesthetic. When its shape, size, or symmetry feels out of harmony with the rest of your features, it can subtly (or not-so-subtly) affect your confidence. That’s where rhinoplasty comes in.
What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, is a highly customized procedure that enhances both the form and function of the nose. Whether you’re looking to smooth out a dorsal hump, refine the tip, or adjust the nostrils, this procedure helps create better facial balance while preserving what makes you you. Beyond aesthetics, rhinoplasty can also correct breathing difficulties caused by structural issues like a deviated septum or past nasal trauma. From subtle refinements to more dramatic transformations, rhinoplasty is all about harmonizing your features in a way that looks effortless—never overdone.
Benefits of Rhinoplasty
Your nose is one of the most defining features of your face—it frames your expressions, balances your proportions, and plays a key role in your overall look. At our practice in Los Angeles Rhinoplasty enhances facial harmony by refining the shape, size, or symmetry of the nose, creating a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing profile. For many, it’s also about function. If you’ve struggled with breathing issues due to structural concerns like a deviated septum, rhinoplasty can help you breathe easier—literally.
Beyond the physical transformation, rhinoplasty can have a profound impact on confidence. Whether it’s smoothing a dorsal hump, refining the tip, or narrowing the nostrils, even subtle changes can make a dramatic difference in how you feel about yourself. The beauty of rhinoplasty lies in its ability to create results that enhance—not overpower—your natural features.
Key Benefits of Rhinoplasty:
- Enhances facial symmetry and balance
- Refines nasal shape, size, or proportion
- Corrects structural issues that impair breathing
- Boosts self-confidence and comfort in social settings
- Repairs nasal injuries or congenital defects
- Provides long-lasting, natural-looking results
Age for Rhinoplasty
When considering a Rhinoplasty Los Angeles patients should know that it is increasingly becoming one of the top cosmetic procedures performed in the United States. Most surgeons suggest waiting until the age of 16 or 18 before choosing to have the procedure done because the nose should be more developed by then. Also, surgeons want to make sure the patient fully understands the risks and benefits of the procedure. Before the procedure, your surgeon will tell you that you should stop smoking. Drinking alcohol is also strongly discouraged. Because smoking and alcohol severely compromises blood flow to the skin, less oxygen will be available to aid in the wound-healing process, and necrosis (death of the skin) can occur.
Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a highly personalized procedure that is best suited for individuals who want to enhance their appearance or improve nasal function. Ideal candidates are those who have specific concerns about their nose—whether it’s a dorsal hump, a bulbous tip, or asymmetry—that they’ve thought about for a while.
It’s also important to be in good overall health, as a smooth recovery depends on your body’s ability to heal properly. For younger patients, the nose should be fully developed before surgery—typically around age 15 for girls and 16 for boys. If you smoke or have certain medical conditions that impair healing, your candidacy may be affected.
You May Be a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty If You:
- Feel self-conscious about the size, shape, or proportions of your nose
- Experience breathing difficulties due to structural issues
- Have a crooked or asymmetrical nose
- Want to correct a nasal injury or birth defect
- Are in good overall health and don’t smoke
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome
A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will determine whether rhinoplasty is right for you, ensuring your goals align with what the procedure can achieve.
Types of Rhinoplasty
There are two types of primary rhinoplasty procedures. If the nose reshaping desired is major, an open rhinoplasty is performed, in which the surgeon cuts a vertical strip between the nostrils for a view of the entire nasal anatomy. For a less drastic reshaping, the surgeon will make incisions within the nose. The skin is then removed from the bone and cartilage of the nose and alterations to the bone and cartilage may be removed, reshaped, or augmented as desired
What Aesthetic Issues Does Rhinoplasty Address?
The nose plays a defining role in facial harmony, which is why even minor tweaks can create a more balanced and refined look. Rhinoplasty can address a wide range of concerns, from a prominent bridge to a drooping or bulbous tip. Whatever the concern, the goal is to create a nose that naturally complements your facial features—never one that looks overdone.
The key to a successful rhinoplasty is customization. No two noses are alike, and neither are surgical approaches. A skilled surgeon will tailor the procedure to your unique anatomy, ensuring that enhancements look natural and proportional to the rest of your face. Whether you’re looking for subtle refinement or a more dramatic transformation, rhinoplasty can help you achieve a nose that feels like you—just a more confident version.
When considering a rhinoplasty Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Nazarian can address common aesthetic concerns such as:
- Dorsal Hump: A prominent bump on the bridge of the nose
- Wide or Flared Nostrils: Overly large or asymmetric nostrils
- Bulbous Tip: A rounded or excessively wide nasal tip
- Drooping Nasal Tip: A tip that points downward, especially when smiling
- Crooked or Asymmetrical Nose: Nasal deviation due to genetics or injury
- Overly Large or Small Nose: A nose that feels disproportionate to the rest of the face
- Flat Bridge: A lack of projection or definition in the nasal bridge
Rhinoplasty Procedure
The procedure may take two to four hours, in which the surgeon will place incisions around your nose according to the alterations you would like to make. Typically, the nasal skin is dissected and then draped over the new framework of the nose. In most cases, a nasal splint is also provided to help stabilize the nose. The goal of a rhinoplasty is to create a subtle change to your facial features that will blend harmoniously with the rest of your face. The healing process is gradual. Swelling and minor bleeding is not unusual. Bruising around the surgical area may occur as well. Many patients have to wait a year before they can see the final results of their procedure. It is important to understand that results and healing time varies greatly between individuals. Oftentimes, a rhinoplasty is performed in conjunction with another facial procedure, such as chin augmentation. This helps maintain a balance on the face.
Rhinoplasty Results
Rhinoplasty isn’t an instant transformation—it’s a journey. While you’ll get a glimpse of your new nose once the splint is removed (usually within a week), patience is key. Swelling can take months to fully subside, meaning your final, refined results gradually settle in over time. Think of it as an evolution rather than a reveal.
Once healed, your results are long-lasting. A well-performed rhinoplasty enhances your natural beauty without looking obvious or overdone. Whether it’s a subtle refinement or a more noticeable change, the goal is always the same: a nose that looks effortlessly in harmony with the rest of your face.
Recovery
Healing from rhinoplasty isn’t just about downtime—it’s about giving your body the space to do its job. In the first week, you’ll likely experience some swelling, bruising, and congestion, all completely normal. Keeping your head elevated, avoiding strenuous activities, and following post-op care instructions will make the recovery process smoother.
By the two-week mark, most patients feel comfortable getting back to their routines, though subtle swelling can linger for a few months. The key to a stress-free recovery? Patience and self-care. The more you allow your body to heal properly, the better your results will be in the long run.
How much does Rhinoplasty cost?
Rhinoplasty isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure, and neither is its price tag. The total cost depends on factors like surgical complexity, technique, and whether it’s a cosmetic or functional procedure. Geographic location also plays a role—Beverly Hills pricing, for example, reflects the expertise of top-tier surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities.
Typically, the cost of rhinoplasty includes the surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, and operating room expenses. Because every nose (and every patient) is unique, the best way to get an accurate estimate is through a personalized consultation. Investing in an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon ensures not just beautiful results but also a safe and seamless experience.
Combine Procedures
Rhinoplasty isn’t just about reshaping the nose—it’s about creating harmony across your entire face. That’s why it’s often paired with other facial procedures to enhance proportions and ensure a naturally balanced look. Whether it’s refining the jawline, lifting the eyes, or rejuvenating the overall facial structure, combining treatments can lead to even more striking yet subtle results.
Here are some of the most common procedures paired with rhinoplasty:
Chin Augmentation
A well-defined chin can make all the difference when it comes to facial balance. If your nose feels too pronounced, it may actually be due to a recessed chin. Chin augmentation, whether with an implant or filler, helps create better proportions and enhances the overall symmetry of your profile.
Facelift
While rhinoplasty refines the central structure of the face, a facelift addresses skin laxity and signs of aging. Together, these procedures create a rejuvenated yet natural-looking transformation by tightening facial tissues and restoring youthful contours.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
The eyes are another focal point of the face, and sagging eyelids or under-eye bags can impact your overall appearance. By combining eyelid surgery with rhinoplasty, patients can achieve a more refreshed and vibrant look.
Lip Lift
A subtle lift to the upper lip can enhance facial proportions, especially for those who feel their nose-to-lip ratio is unbalanced. This combination is particularly effective in creating a youthful, refined aesthetic.
Buccal Fat Removal
If you’re looking to enhance your facial definition, buccal fat removal (which slims the lower cheeks) can complement rhinoplasty by refining overall facial contours. The key to a successful combination approach is customization. A skilled surgeon will assess your unique features to recommend the best procedures for a cohesive, natural result—never overdone, just effortlessly refined.
