What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or a "nose job," is a popular cosmetic surgery designed to reshape, resize, or repair the nose. In our Pasadena location, rhinoplasty patients are treated to a highly individualized experience as we work together to create a nose that aligns with their vision and enhances their natural beauty. Rhinoplasty can address aesthetic concerns—such as a bump on the bridge, a wide tip, or asymmetry—as well as functional issues like breathing difficulties.

This procedure is highly adaptable, and we offer several approaches to suit each patient’s specific needs.

Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures

Open Rhinoplasty

For more extensive reshaping, open rhinoplasty is often the go-to choice. With a small incision along the columella (the soft tissue between your nostrils), this technique gives our surgeons full access to the nasal structures. Open rhinoplasty allows for intricate modifications, making it ideal for patients needing substantial changes, whether to refine nasal contours or correct deformities.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions placed entirely within the nostrils, leaving no visible scarring. This technique is less invasive, allowing for shorter recovery times while still enabling significant changes. Closed rhinoplasty works well for patients interested in minor adjustments to improve nasal balance and shape.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Also known as the "liquid nose job," non-surgical rhinoplasty uses dermal fillers to create a more symmetrical and contoured look. This option is perfect for those who want immediate, temporary results without the commitment of surgery. While it can’t address structural issues, non-surgical rhinoplasty can effectively smooth out minor bumps and refine nasal shape with minimal downtime.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Our surgeons understand the importance of maintaining the unique characteristics that reflect your ethnic background. Ethnic rhinoplasty respects and enhances these defining features while addressing aesthetic concerns like bridge shape, tip refinement, or nostril size. The goal is a harmonious look that celebrates your identity while meeting your aesthetic goals.

Nose Feminization

Nose feminization rhinoplasty helps create softer, more refined nasal features. This option is often part of gender-affirming care, focusing on adjustments to the nasal tip, bridge width, and profile to achieve a more feminine look.

Functional Rhinoplasty (Septorhinoplasty)

Functional rhinoplasty addresses structural issues impacting breathing, such as a deviated septum. Through subtle adjustments to the nasal passages, this procedure not only improves airflow but also enhances sleep quality and overall comfort, providing both aesthetic and health benefits.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Sometimes, previous rhinoplasty surgeries may not provide the desired results or may result in functional issues. Revision rhinoplasty offers a second chance to refine and correct, restoring balance, symmetry, and function to the nose.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty has the potential to be transformative, delivering both aesthetic enhancements and functional benefits. This procedure can make a significant difference in your life through:

Improved facial harmony and balance
Enhanced nasal shape and profile
Correction of birth defects or post-injury deformities
Boosted self-confidence
Restored or improved nasal breathing
Non-surgical options for minor corrections and shaping

Rhinoplasty Treatment Areas

Rhinoplasty can address various aspects of the nose’s structure, including:

Nasal Bridge: Adjusting or smoothing a prominent bridge or hump
Nasal Tip: Refining the shape of a bulbous, drooping, or wide tip
Nostrils: Reshaping asymmetrical or flared nostrils
Nasal Width: Narrowing a broad bridge to better match facial proportions

Are You a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Ideal candidates include individuals in good physical health who have specific concerns about their nose's appearance or function. Our Pasadena team works closely with each patient to ensure their expectations align with what rhinoplasty can realistically achieve.

Common concerns that rhinoplasty can address include nasal asymmetry, bumps or dips, nasal width, and tip shape. While the procedure is versatile, there are some contraindications; those with severe nasal scarring or chronic health conditions may need to explore alternative options.

Consultation and Preparation

Your consultation is a chance to discuss your goals, learn about the procedure, and understand the steps involved. During this initial meeting at our Pasadena office, your surgeon will assess your nasal structure, talk through your aesthetic objectives, and develop a tailored plan to meet those needs. This is also the perfect time to ask any questions and ensure you feel confident moving forward.

Preparation involves avoiding certain medications, limiting alcohol, and following any specific instructions provided by your surgeon. Preparing well sets the stage for a smooth experience and helps you achieve the best possible outcome.

Your Rhinoplasty Procedure

On the day of your procedure, anesthesia—either local or general—will be administered to ensure comfort. The surgery itself can take between one and three hours, depending on the complexity of the case. During this time, our surgeons make meticulous adjustments to cartilage, bone, and tissue to sculpt a natural-looking nose that complements your facial features.

With advanced surgical techniques and a careful approach, we aim to minimize downtime and optimize healing.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Recovery after rhinoplasty requires patience as your body heals and swelling subsides. While initial bruising and swelling usually resolve within two weeks, full results may take several months to become fully visible. During the recovery period, it’s essential to follow all post-surgical instructions, including caring for any incisions, avoiding strenuous activity, and protecting your nose from injury.

To maintain long-lasting results, protect your skin from the sun, follow a healthy lifestyle, and avoid habits like smoking, which can impact healing. Our Pasadena team provides thorough aftercare guidance to support you every step of the way.
