What Is Rhinoplasty

What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty — commonly called a nose job — is a surgical procedure that reshapes the bone, cartilage, and soft tissue of the nose. It is one of the most technically demanding procedures in facial plastic surgery, and one of the most requested by patients across Los Angeles.

It addresses both cosmetic and functional concerns:

  • A dorsal hump or bridge irregularity
  • A bulbous, drooping, or asymmetric nasal tip
  • Wide or flared nostrils
  • A crooked or deviated nose
  • A deviated septum causing restricted airflow
  • Nasal damage from trauma or prior surgery
  • Facial imbalance caused by nasal disproportion

Cosmetic refinement and functional restoration can be performed simultaneously — one surgery, one recovery, two permanent outcomes.

Not every nose concern requires surgery. For patients seeking temporary, non-structural refinement, non-surgical rhinoplasty using dermal fillers is an alternative worth discussing at consultation. (See: Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Los Angeles →)

Are You a Candidate for Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles?

Consider rhinoplasty if you are bothered by the size, shape, or symmetry of your nose or if a structural issue is affecting your breathing. Cosmetic preference alone is a completely valid reason.

You may be a strong candidate if you:

  • Have a nasal feature creating visual imbalance with surrounding facial features
  • Experience breathing difficulty from a deviated septum or structural obstruction
  • Have had a previous rhinoplasty with results that do not meet your expectations
  • Are in good general health, a non-smoker, and hold realistic expectations
  • Are 18 or older when nasal development is typically complete

If you are uncertain whether rhinoplasty addresses your specific concern, that is exactly what the consultation determines. Dr. Ardesh provides an honest assessment of what surgery can and cannot achieve for your anatomy before any commitment is made.

Rhinoplasty Procedures Performed at Our Beverly Hills Practice

Dr. Ardesh selects the surgical approach based on your anatomy, the complexity of the correction, and your goals. There is no standard technique applied uniformly — the right approach is determined entirely by what your nose requires.

Open Rhinoplasty:

The approach for complex structural corrections. A small incision across the columella the tissue between the nostrils provides full visibility of the nasal framework. Ideal for significant dorsal reduction, tip refinement, asymmetry correction, and most revision cases.

Closed Rhinoplasty:

All incisions placed entirely inside the nostrils. No external scarring, shorter procedure time, and faster recovery. Best suited for moderate refinements where extensive structural access is not required.

Revision Rhinoplasty:

Correcting a prior rhinoplasty requires a different level of surgical judgement. Scar tissue, altered anatomy, and changed cartilage demand a surgeon with specific revision expertise. Dr. Ardesh evaluates every revision patient individually and provides an honest assessment of what is achievable, including whether results from a previous surgery can be meaningfully improved.

Septoplasty and Functional Correction:

A deviated septum causing breathing obstruction can be corrected simultaneously with cosmetic rhinoplasty. One surgery, one recovery. Dr. Ardesh assesses both functional and cosmetic concerns at consultation.

What to Expect: From Consultation to Final Result

Consultation:

Dr. Ardesh evaluates your nasal anatomy, facial proportions, and specific concerns. He recommends the surgical approach that genuinely addresses your anatomy and provides realistic expectations for your outcome. Full transparent pricing is provided before anything is scheduled. No assumptions, no rushed decisions.

The Procedure

Rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Surgery duration is 1.5 to 3 hours depending on technique complexity. Following surgery, the nose is protected with a splint and internal support as needed.

Prepare by stopping blood-thinning medications and supplements at least two weeks prior, ceasing smoking four weeks before and four weeks after surgery, and arranging home support for the first 48 hours.

Recovery

Days 1–7: Splint in place. Swelling and bruising most pronounced around the eyes and nose.

Days 7–10: Splint removed. Most patients return to normal social and work activity.

Months 1–2: Significant swelling resolves. The nose begins to settle into its new shape.

Month 12: The final result is fully visible. The residual tip swelling, the last to resolve, dissipates completely.

Daily SPF throughout recovery. Avoid contact sports and activities risking nasal trauma for a minimum of six weeks.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty by a Facial Plastic Surgeon in Los Angeles

Permanent Structural Results

Rhinoplasty reshapes bone and cartilage — the foundational structures of the nose. Results are permanent. Unlike non-surgical alternatives, the outcome does not require maintenance or repeat treatments.

Facial Harmony — Not Isolated Correction

A rhinoplasty performed by a facial specialist considers the nose in the context of every surrounding feature: eyes, chin, jawline, and skin. The result integrates naturally. It does not stand apart.

Functional and Cosmetic Outcomes — Simultaneously

Septoplasty and turbinate reduction can be performed in the same surgery as cosmetic rhinoplasty. One recovery. Two lasting outcomes.

Revision Expertise When It Matters Most

For patients who have had a previous rhinoplasty that did not deliver expected results, Dr. Ardesh offers revision rhinoplasty with the additional surgical judgment complex revision cases require.

No Operated Appearance

The standard at this practice is a nose that fits the face not one that signals surgery. Patients should look like themselves, only more balanced.

Transparent Process, Start-to-Finish

Consultation, technique recommendation, realistic outcome discussion, and full pricing all before any commitment is made.

How long do rhinoplasty results last?

Rhinoplasty results are permanent. The procedure reshapes bone and cartilage structures that do not revert. Natural aging of skin and soft tissue continues, but the structural improvement achieved in surgery is lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right rhinoplasty surgeon in Los Angeles?
Prioritize board certification in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, not general plastic surgery. Review before-and-after results from patients with anatomy similar to yours. Assess whether the consultation is honest about what is achievable. Dr. Ardesh's dual board certification and exclusively facial practice place him among the most specialized rhinoplasty surgeons in Los Angeles.
What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?
Open rhinoplasty uses a small external incision across the columella for maximum visibility and is preferred for complex corrections. Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions entirely inside the nostrils, with no external scarring and faster recovery, and is suited for moderate refinements. Dr. Ardesh recommends the appropriate technique based on your anatomy at consultation.
How much does rhinoplasty cost in Los Angeles?
Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles typically ranges from $12,000 to $20,000 depending on technique complexity, surgeon expertise, anesthesia, and facility fees. Full transparent pricing is provided at consultation before any procedure is scheduled. Financing is available through reputable healthcare lending partners.
Is rhinoplasty painful?
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, with no pain during the procedure. Afterward, most patients describe the sensation as pressure and tightness rather than sharp pain. Prescription medication manages the first few days; most patients switch to over-the-counter relief by day three.
How long does rhinoplasty swelling last?
Majority of swelling resolves within four to eight weeks. The nasal tip—the last area to settle—can retain subtle swelling for up to 12 months. Final results are fully visible at the one-year mark.
Can rhinoplasty fix my breathing at the same time?
Yes, Septoplasty and turbinate reduction can be performed simultaneously with cosmetic rhinoplasty: one surgery, one recovery. Dr. Ardesh assesses both functional and cosmetic concerns at consultation and addresses them together where appropriate.
What is revision rhinoplasty, and am I a candidate?
Revision rhinoplasty corrects the structural or cosmetic result of a prior nose surgery. It is technically more demanding than primary rhinoplasty due to scar tissue and altered anatomy. Dr. Ardesh evaluates each revision patient individually and provides a frank assessment of what is achievable before recommending surgery.
