Transform Your Profile with Rhinoplasty
Why do we love it?
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a "nose job," is a versatile surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance and functionality of the nose. This procedure can address a wide range of concerns, from aesthetic issues such as size, shape, and symmetry to functional problems like breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum or other structural abnormalities.
Rhinoplasty can dramatically improve facial harmony by reshaping the nose to better fit your facial proportions. Whether you are unhappy with a prominent bump on the bridge, a wide nasal tip, or asymmetry, rhinoplasty can refine these features, creating a more balanced and attractive profile. For individuals experiencing breathing issues, functional rhinoplasty can correct structural problems, improving airflow and overall nasal function.
The procedure involves detailed planning and precise execution to achieve the desired results. During your consultation, the surgeon will discuss your goals and evaluate your nasal structure to develop a personalized surgical plan. The surgery itself typically takes a few hours, and recovery involves some swelling and bruising, which subside over several weeks.
Rhinoplasty offers long-lasting results, significantly enhancing both your appearance and quality of life. By improving the aesthetics and function of your nose, this procedure can boost your self-confidence and make a positive impact on your overall facial harmony. With rhinoplasty, you can achieve a nose that complements your features and enhances your natural beauty.

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and reconstruct the nose to enhance both its aesthetic appearance and function. This versatile procedure can address various concerns, including nostril asymmetry, nasal bridge irregularities or humps, and issues related to the size or proportion of the nose. Whether you're seeking cosmetic refinement or functional improvement, rhinoplasty offers a comprehensive solution to achieve your desired nasal aesthetics.
While rhinoplasty is generally safe, like any surgical intervention, it carries inherent risks. These risks may include infection, nose bleeds, scarring, breathing difficulties, and swelling and bruising. However, our practice implements stringent safety protocols to minimize these risks and ensure optimal outcomes for our patients. While most patients experience some degree of swelling and bruising post-procedure, these side effects will subside over time as the nose heals.
Rhinoplasty can indeed improve breathing by addressing structural issues within the nose, such as a deviated septum or nasal obstruction. This specialized aspect of rhinoplasty is known as functional rhinoplasty. By correcting these structural abnormalities, patients may experience enhanced airflow and improved breathing function. If you have concerns about nasal obstruction or difficulty breathing, our experienced team can evaluate your candidacy for functional rhinoplasty and provide personalized guidance to help you achieve optimal nasal function and aesthetics.
Recovery after rhinoplasty varies from patient to patient, but typically involves initial swelling and bruising for about 1 to 2 weeks. During this time, patients may experience some discomfort or tenderness around the nose area. However, most individuals can resume normal activities within a few days of surgery, with the final results becoming fully evident over several months as swelling subsides and the nose settles into its new shape.
When considering rhinoplasty, patients often wonder whether an open or closed approach is best for their needs. The choice between open and closed rhinoplasty depends largely on the complexity of the surgery. Open rhinoplasty involves a small external incision, providing the surgeon with better visibility and access to the nasal structures, making it suitable for more extensive changes and complex cases. Conversely, closed rhinoplasty utilizes internal incisions and is typically preferred for minor to moderate adjustments. During your consultation with Dr. Hill, you will collaborate to determine which technique is best suited to address your specific concerns and achieve your desired aesthetic outcome.
Yes, we do perform ethnic rhinoplasty, also known as cultural rhinoplasty. Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized form of the procedure tailored to address the unique aesthetic and structural characteristics of individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The goal of ethnic rhinoplasty is to enhance or maintain the person's ethnic identity while addressing their cosmetic or functional concerns. Our experienced team understands the importance of preserving cultural heritage while achieving desired aesthetic outcomes, and we are dedicated to providing personalized care and support throughout the ethnic rhinoplasty process.
When it comes to scarring after rhinoplasty, it depends on the technique used:
Open Rhinoplasty: This method involves a small incision across the columella, the strip of skin between the nostrils. While there is a scar, it's typically well-concealed and not easily visible, especially from a normal conversational distance.
Closed Rhinoplasty: With this approach, incisions are made entirely inside the nostrils, resulting in no external scars. However, visibility and access for the surgeon may be slightly limited compared to open rhinoplasty.
In both cases, our goal is to minimize scar visibility, and with time, scars from rhinoplasty tend to fade and become less noticeable. Proper post-operative care and sun protection are essential for optimal scar healing. Keep in mind that the extent and visibility of scarring can vary from person to person
When it comes to the cost of rhinoplasty, it typically ranges between $6,100 and $10,700. However, the exact cost can vary depending on various factors, including the complexity of the surgery, the surgeon's experience and expertise, the geographic location of the practice, and any additional procedures or services included in the treatment plan. We encourage you to schedule a consultation with our team to receive a personalized assessment and quote tailored to your specific needs and goals.
While rhinoplasty outcomes are typically enduring and often perceived as permanent, it's essential to note that the aging process and natural shifts in nasal structure may influence the appearance over time. Despite this, many individuals enjoy the lasting benefits of rhinoplasty for years to come.
Indeed, non-surgical rhinoplasty, often referred to as a "liquid rhinoplasty," utilizes dermal fillers to reshape and enhance the nose without the need for surgery. This minimally invasive procedure can address certain aesthetic concerns and is an alternative for those seeking nasal refinement without undergoing surgery.
The answer is usually yes, but it's essential to adhere to Dr. Hill's guidance on when and how to do so. Following rhinoplasty, temporary restrictions may apply to prevent putting pressure on the healing nose. Your pre-operative consultation with Dr. Hill will cover specific instructions tailored to your recovery process, ensuring a smooth and successful healing journey.
Generally, it's best to avoid blowing your nose for at least 2 weeks after the procedure. Blowing your nose prematurely can disrupt sutures and impede the healing process. Dr. Hill will provide specific instructions during your post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and recovery.
