Testimonial
Dr. Sanan conducted a cosmetic rhinoplasty on me a few months ago and I am absolutely in love with my results! If I could rate him more than 5 stars I would. He removed the hump on my nose and fixed my deviated septum which resulted in a more softened and natural appearance along with improved breathing. 6 weeks after my rhinoplasty, I unfortunately broke my nose causing it to shift and become crooked. He was able to take me in for an urgent surgery and my nose was back to looking like my initial results! He was extremely helpful and attentive throughout the entire process and was always available to answer my questions. I could not be more grateful to have had such an exceptional doctor like himself perform surgery on me not once, but twice! I would highly recommend him – you will not be disappointed!
The Purpose of Rhinoplasty
The main goal of rhinoplasty, often referred to as cosmetic nose surgery, is to achieve a balanced and aesthetically pleasing nasal appearance. On the aesthetic front, the procedure can address a wide range of concerns, including changing the width of your nose, adjusting the size or position of your nostrils, smoothing out bumps or dips on your nose, or reshaping a nose that feels too big, too small, or out of balance.
From a functional perspective, rhinoplasty can fix issues that make it hard to breathe properly, such as nasal obstruction. It can help correct a deviated septum, reduce enlarged turbinates (structures in your nose that help filter and humidify the air you breathe), and deal with other issues that block your nasal passages. Many rhinoplasty patients opt for functional nose surgery to address both aesthetic and functional concerns in a single procedure.
Ultimately, cosmetic nose surgery is about more than just changing your appearance or making it easier to breathe. Improving how your nose looks and functions can boost your confidence and quality of life. The key to getting the results you want is to work with a skilled, experienced surgeon, such as a board-certified plastic surgeon, who can tailor the procedure to your unique needs and goals for surgery during the initial consultation.
Each patient is unique and individual results may vary*
Types of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Facial plastic surgeons tailor each operation to the unique needs and goals of the individual patient. Here are some common types of rhinoplasty available at the Boston Center for Facial Rejuvenation.
Female Rhinoplasty
Female rhinoplasty focuses on creating a nose that complements and enhances a woman’s unique facial features. It often aims for a softer, more refined look, considering aspects like the size, shape, and angle of the nose that align with feminine facial aesthetics.
Male Rhinoplasty
Similar to its female counterpart, male rhinoplasty aims to achieve a balanced and harmonious appearance. However, the approach typically prioritizes preserving or enhancing masculine features, such as a stronger, broader nose.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
This type of rhinoplasty acknowledges and preserves the unique facial features associated with different ethnicities, such as Middle Eastern features. The goal is to enhance the nose’s appearance or function without erasing the patient’s ethnic identity or creating a ‘Westernized’ look.
Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty
This is a more recent advancement in rhinoplasty technique that uses ultrasonic energy to precisely shape the nasal bones, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues. This method typically causes less bruising, swelling, and overall downtime than traditional rhinoplasty methods.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Sometimes, a patient might be dissatisfied with their initial rhinoplasty results or experience complications, necessitating secondary rhinoplasty or additional surgery. A revision rhinoplasty is performed to correct any issues, such as a broken nose, and achieve the desired outcome. This is typically more complex, due to the alterations from the previous surgery.
Remember, each type of rhinoplasty requires a surgeon with specific skills and an understanding of the aesthetic and functional goals involved. Be sure to discuss your expectations and preferences thoroughly with your surgeon during your consultation. Along with rhinoplasty, other cosmetic surgery procedures, such as eyelid surgery or chin surgery, can also be discussed if they are relevant to your goals.
Am I a Good Candidate For Rhinoplasty Surgery?
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose or suffer from breathing difficulty, whether the nose too big, too small, crooked, has a bump, has a bulbous tip, or has a droopy tip, you may be a candidate for rhinoplasty surgery. However, it is important to know that this is a surgical procedure, and you should only consider it if you are in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcome.
If you’re considering rhinoplasty, you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Miller or Dr. Sanan, both board-certified plastic surgeons, to discuss your goals and determine if rhinoplasty is the best option for you.

The Rhinoplasty Procedure
Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia. Rest assured that your comfort and safety are paramount, and your anesthesia plan will be tailored to your specific needs.
There are two primary techniques for rhinoplasty: open and closed. The open technique involves a small external incision on the columella (the tissue separating the nostrils), allowing the surgeon to visualize and modify the nasal structure fully. The closed technique involves incisions within the nostrils, leaving no visible scars. The choice between these techniques depends on the specific changes being made.
Rhinoplasty is a transformative journey, and understanding the process can help you navigate it with confidence. Remember, the key to a successful nose job lies in clear communication with your surgeon and adherence to their expert guidance.
Post-surgery: What to Expect
Recovery from rhinoplasty doesn’t end as soon as you leave the operating room. Understanding what to expect weeks after surgery and during immediate aftercare is crucial for achieving the best possible results.
Immediate Aftercare
Once your surgery is complete, you’ll likely wake up in a recovery area with a splint on your nose, which helps to maintain its new shape. You might also have nasal packing or a small bandage beneath your nostrils if there is any bleeding.
It’s completely normal to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the days following the nasal surgery. Your surgeon will provide you with specific guidelines on how to manage these symptoms, which may include prescribed medications, cold compresses, and keeping your head elevated to reduce swelling.
Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled within the first week to monitor your healing process, remove any external sutures or nasal packing, and address any concerns you may have.

Long-term Recovery and Results
Everyone heals at their own pace, but generally, most of the swelling and bruising subsides within the first few weeks. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities and contact sports during this period, to prevent any accidental injuries to your nose.
You may begin to see the new shape of your nose as early as one month after surgery. However, the final, refined result of your rhinoplasty may take up to a year or more to fully reveal itself, as subtle swelling can take a while to resolve completely.
During this period, it’s crucial to protect your nose from the sun, as excessive exposure can cause discoloration or swelling. Regular check-ins with your surgeon will also continue throughout the first year to ensure you’re healing well and happy with your results.
Keep in mind that patience is key when it comes to rhinoplasty recovery. It’s a gradual process, but with time, you’ll see the full benefits of your new, improved nose – both aesthetically and functionally.
Rhinoplasty FAQs
The ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are individuals who are in good health, have realistic expectations, and wish to improve the appearance or function of their nose. It’s crucial to discuss your goals and medical history with your surgeon, to determine if rhinoplasty is right for you.
Rhinoplasty is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel anything during your plastic surgery procedure. After the procedure, any discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
While most swelling and bruising subside within a few weeks, the final results of rhinoplasty may take up to a year or more to fully reveal themselves. Each patient’s recovery timeline can vary, based on the extent of the procedure and individual healing rates.
Rhinoplasty is typically performed using either a closed or open technique. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions inside the nostrils, resulting in no visible scarring. Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision on the underside of the nose, but any resulting scar is usually small and fades over time.
Yes, functional rhinoplasty can address issues like a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or enlarged turbinates that may impair breathing. Often, patients opt for a combined approach to address both aesthetic and functional concerns in a single procedure.
Insurance coverage for rhinoplasty varies. If your procedure is a cosmetic rhinoplasty, it is typically not covered. However, if it is being performed to correct a breathing problem or a deformity caused by injury, insurance may cover a portion of the cost. Always check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage.
Remember, it’s important to ask any questions you have during your consultation with your surgeon. This ensures you fully understand the procedure and can make an informed decision.
