What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, otherwise known as a 'nosejob' or cosmetic nose surgery, is an aesthetic procedure performed to enhance the shape and appearance of a patient's nose. It can also be used to relieve breathing issues for many patients. Cosmetic nose surgery at Dr. Ghazizadeh MD is performed to make the nose fit the patients face, which may mean making a nose appear smaller in size or reshape a nose that is wide, too large, or misshaped. The goal is to allow for a more aesthetically pleasing nose that meets your cosmetic desires and functions well.
How Does Rhinoplasty Work?
Dr. Ghazizadeh spends considerable time with each patient with the aid of digital photographs taken in the clinic and a state of the art image-altering software program to determine what aesthetic goals each patient has and what outcomes will best fit each individual’s face. Some patients come with very specific results in mind, while others wish to seek more guidance in determining goals. For all patients, Dr. Ghazizadeh’s approach is to achieve balance, decrease imperfections, and improve the overall aesthetic harmony of the face.
Commonly Corrected Problems in the Nose
There are a wide variety of “problem areas” for which nose surgery patients have been successfully treated. These areas can include (but are not limited to):
- Bump or hump on bridge of the nose
- Crooked nose
- Bridge too wide

- Visible angles or ridges of nasal bones

Rhinoplasty Before & After
The Rhinoplasty Process: What to Expect
Embark on your journey to nasal refinement with confidence, knowing that the rhinoplasty process is meticulously designed to deliver your desired results. During your consultation, Dr. Ghazizadeh will conduct a thorough assessment of your concerns, facial structure, and desired outcomes. She will guide you through the potential changes achievable, addressing factors such as nasal bridge height, tip projection, and nostril width. Tailoring her approach to your individual needs, Dr. Ghazizadeh will determine the most suitable rhinoplasty technique to achieve your goals while preserving the natural harmony of your facial features.
On the day of the procedure, you'll receive anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout. Your personalized surgical plan will be executed with precision and care. Depending on your unique requirements, Dr. Ghazizadeh may utilize an open rhinoplasty approach, involving a discreet external incision to access and reshape underlying structures, or a closed approach with incisions placed inside the nostrils. With Dr. Ghazizadeh's expertise, you can trust in a transformative outcome, whether addressing concerns regarding the nasal bridge, refining the tip, or making specific adjustments. Following the procedure, a splint may be applied to support the new shape during the healing process.
Types of Rhinoplasty
Our rhinoplasty options are crafted to instill confidence through aesthetic enhancements. Dr. Ghazizadeh's expertise encompasses various techniques, including open and closed procedures, septoplasty for functional improvements, and revision rhinoplasty for refining previous surgical outcomes. With a steadfast commitment to harmonizing aesthetics and function, each approach is meticulously chosen to resonate with the unique facial features and aspirations of her patients, fostering newfound confidence and a renewed sense of beauty.
PRIMARY RHINOPLASTY
First time rhinoplasty, or primary rhinoplasty, is the best opportunity to create the nose a patient wishes they were born with and improve any undesired imperfections. The goal of this surgery should be to create improvements that look pleasing, but also fit the individual’s other features. Dr. Ghazizadeh believes that the cosmetic surgeon must be sensitive to variations (ethnicity, culture, familial, etc.) when guiding and treating patients and does not wish to create any one type of nose. Rather, the results of patients’ noses after nose surgery are quite diverse, reflecting the wide variations of her patients’ backgrounds, preferences and overall facial features.
REVISION RHINOPLASTY
Patients who experienced an unfavorable cosmetic outcome or breathing problems from a previous nasal surgery may seek revision rhinoplasty. When previous surgery has caused a weakening of the cartilage and/or bone of the nose, this can lead to collapse, pinching, or contraction even years after the original surgery. This surgery is significantly more complex due to scar tissue, damage to the native structure and limited material for supportive grafting. Dr. Ghazizadeh uses specialized techniques to restore the stability and interconnections of the cartilages and bone of the nose in order to improve contour, function, and appearance for a long-term optimal result.
COSMETIC RHINOPLASTY
Improving imperfections such as a crooked nose, prominent hump, droopy tip or many other issues to enhance the appearance of the nose, without addressing breathing problems, is cosmetic rhinoplasty. Dr. Ghazizadeh spends considerable time creating a detailed plan with patients to identify individual concerns, variations in the anatomy and limitations so that patients can expect a predictable, lasting result. Understanding a patient’s wishes and goals is critical to a successful cosmetic rhinoplasty. Beautiful results are then delivered in the operating room from meticulous technique and an unrelenting attention to detail.
FUNCTIONAL RHINOPLASTY
A procedure called a functional rhinoplasty is used to correct nasal breathing problems. Difficulty breathing can be a result of the patient’s native anatomy or from previous trauma. As an Otolaryngologist, or ENT, Dr. Ghazizadeh is specially trained in nasal breathing, and the anatomy of the sinus, septum and nasal passageways. There are several target valves and maneuvers that can be performed to improve the passage of air through the nose. Dr. Ghazizadeh performs rhinoplasties in a way in which both cosmetic and functional breathing problems can be corrected in the same operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my nose still be unique to me after rhinoplasty?
Yes, rhinoplasty aims to enhance the appearance of the nose while preserving its unique characteristics and ensuring harmony with other facial features. Dr. Ghazizadeh customizes each procedure to achieve natural-looking results that reflect the patient's individuality.
What is the best age to undergo rhinoplasty?
The ideal age for rhinoplasty varies depending on individual factors such as nasal development, physical maturity, and personal goals. While rhinoplasty is commonly performed on adults, adolescents may undergo the procedure once nasal growth is complete, typically around ages 15 to 16 for girls and 17 to 18 for boys. Dr. Ghazizadeh evaluates each patient's candidacy based on their specific circumstances and goals.
What are some additional benefits of rhinoplasty?
In addition to improving nasal aesthetics and function, rhinoplasty can enhance self-confidence, restore facial harmony, and alleviate breathing difficulties. Patients often report improved quality of life and satisfaction with their overall appearance following rhinoplasty. Dr. Ghazizadeh discusses the potential benefits of rhinoplasty during the consultation to help patients make informed decisions about treatment.
Where will my rhinoplasty procedure be performed?
Rhinoplasty procedures are performed in accredited surgical facilities or outpatient surgery centers equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by experienced medical professionals. Dr. Ghazizadeh ensures patient safety and comfort by selecting reputable facilities that meet rigorous standards for surgical care and hygiene.
What are my options for anesthesia?
Rhinoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient's preferences. Dr. Ghazizadeh discusses anesthesia options during the preoperative consultation and tailors the anesthetic plan to each patient's individual needs and medical history.
How should I prepare for my rhinoplasty consultation?
Before your rhinoplasty consultation, gather relevant medical history, photos of desired outcomes, and a list of questions for Dr. Ghazizadeh. Be prepared to discuss your nasal concerns, aesthetic goals, and any previous surgeries or treatments. Open communication during the consultation ensures a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
What is the recovery time for rhinoplasty?
The recovery time for rhinoplasty varies among individuals but generally involves several stages. Initial swelling and bruising typically peak within the first few days after surgery and gradually subside over the following weeks. While most visible swelling resolves within the first few weeks, residual swelling may persist for several months, gradually improving over time. Patients can expect to return to most normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, with final results becoming apparent over the course of several months. Dr. Ghazizadeh provides personalized postoperative instructions to guide patients through each stage of the recovery process and ensure optimal healing and outcomes.
When can I return to work after my rhinoplasty procedure?
The timing of returning to work after rhinoplasty depends on individual factors such as the extent of the procedure, job requirements, and the rate of healing. Most patients can resume sedentary or desk-based work within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, once initial swelling and bruising have subsided, and any external splints or sutures have been removed. However, patients with physically demanding or strenuous jobs may require additional time off to ensure adequate rest and recovery. Dr. Ghazizadeh provides personalized recommendations based on each patient's specific circumstances and recovery progress.
Rhinoplasty Recovery
There are several different approaches to rhinoplasty, but all are usually done as an outpatient surgical procedure. Depending on your case, Dr. Ghazizadeh may take either an open or closed (endonasal) approach to achieve the desired result. The objective during surgery is to refine the shape of the nose while optimizing the internal structure for breathing.
The recovery processes after a rhinoplasty surgery can take longer than other facial plastic surgery procedures. This is a known and expected part of the natural healing process after nasal surgery. Patients can expect healing and swelling to gradually improve in phases.
It almost always takes 1 full year for final results to be appreciated and the nose to become fully refined and healed after rhinoplasty. Even before your surgery you will be scheduled for periodic follow-up appointments with Dr. Ghazizadeh to monitor your progress and results.
Once your surgery is finished, you'll be briefly moved to a recovery area for monitoring before being released to recover at home. You can expect your nose and the surrounding area to be swollen, bruised, and sore for a few days. Ice packs and prescription medication can assist with these effects.
