Rhinoplasty in Houston

Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that dramatically improves the nose by addressing aesthetic or functional concerns such as a prominent nasal hump, a large or drooping tip, or a deviated septum. Whether performed alone or combined with additional techniques, rhinoplasty balances your facial features and improves your self-confidence.

What Can Rhinoplasty Do?

Rhinoplasty enhances the aesthetics of the nose and, if necessary, improves nasal function to open your airways and optimize breathing.

Some of the cosmetic changes most commonly made during rhinoplasty include:

  • Reducing a dorsal hump
  • Refining the nasal tip
  • Narrowing the nasal bridge
  • Changing the angle between the nose and the upper lip
  • Narrowing the nostrils
  • Augmenting the nose (more common in revision rhinoplasty)

Some of the functional changes most commonly made during rhinoplasty include:

  • Straightening a deviated septum
  • Reducing enlarged turbinates for improved breathing
  • Correcting damage from previous injuries

To ensure your results align with your expectations, we use advanced computer imaging technology, giving you a clear vision of your potential post-surgical transformation.

Your Rhinoplasty Procedure

Rhinoplasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1 to 3 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the surgery.

Our experienced surgeons are skilled in various common to complex rhinoplasty techniques.

Open Rhinoplasty

Small incisions are placed on the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils) to lift the nasal skin and expose the underlying structures. This approach is often recommended for more complex rhinoplasty cases because it gives our surgeons greater visibility for increased precision when reshaping the cartilage and bone.

Closed Rhinoplasty

This less invasive surgical technique uses incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars. It’s an ideal approach for nose job patients who require subtle aesthetic and structural adjustments.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Patients who wish to correct concerns resulting from a previous rhinoplasty choose our ACPS surgeons to fulfill their nose job vision. These procedures are often more complex than primary rhinoplasties due to the presence of scar tissue and other complicating factors.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

This specialized approach to nose surgery enhances nasal appearance while respecting and preserving your unique ethnic features.

At ACPS, our surgeons take a personalized approach by carefully evaluating the structure of your nose and face while discussing your unique aesthetic goals in detail.

Your Rhinoplasty Recovery

After your procedure, your surgeon may offer to have a medical professional visit you at home to check in on your recovery. While every recovery varies, here’s a general overview of what to expect during rhinoplasty healing:

Immediately After Surgery:

  • Return home to begin the healing process
  • Take pain medications as directed to manage your comfort
  • Soft plastic splints may be placed in your nostrils to stabilize the airway
  • Swelling and bruising peak
  • Keep your head elevated and apply cool compresses for added comfort

1 to 2 weeks:

  • Splints are removed
  • Resume work, school, and most daily activities
  • Refrain from strenuous activities
  • Avoid hitting, rubbing, or blowing the nose

3 to 6 weeks:

  • Resume exercise, bending, lifting, and other strenuous activities as cleared by your surgeon
  • Limit sun exposure to minimize the risk of scarring

6 to 12 Months:

  • Swelling greatly improves
  • Final results are usually evident at one-year post-op

Following your surgeon’s post-op instructions closely is essential to achieve optimal healing and results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best age for rhinoplasty surgery?

Cosmetic nose surgery may be performed on female patients as young as 15 or males as young as 17. It’s best to wait until your facial features fully mature before nose surgery. Your plastic surgeon will help you make this determination before recommending rhinoplasty surgery.

Is rhinoplasty surgery safe?

Rhinoplasty surgery is generally considered safe when performed by one of our experienced, board-certified ACPS plastic surgeons. Our providers thoroughly discuss potential risks or complications during your one-on-one consultation.

Is a nose job permanent?

Yes, the results of your nose job are permanent, although you may observe subtle changes to the appearance of your nose over time due to the natural aging process. Factors that influence your final results may include the structure of your nasal bones and cartilage, the shape of your face, the thickness of your skin, and your age.

What’s a liquid rhinoplasty?

A liquid rhinoplasty, or nonsurgical nose job, is a cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers instead of incisions to enhance the shape and appearance of the nose. The results are temporary and less dramatic compared to a surgical rhinoplasty.
