What Is Cosmetic Rhinoplasty?

According to an article on the Stanford Medicine website, cosmetic rhinoplasty has been performed since at least 18871 and remains among the most popular and sought-after cosmetic procedures in the nation. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that nearly 45,000 rhinoplasties are performed in the United States each year2. Nose surgery involves correcting the nasal tip, bridge, and nostrils to improve overall balance and aesthetics. While cosmetic surgery refines the nose’s appearance, it can also improve the patient’s breathing.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical or “liquid” rhinoplasty is performed using injectables. It can address minor contour irregularities, asymmetry, and small bumps in the nose, all without downtime or discomfort. In some cases, non-surgical rhinoplasty can help patients in and beyond Philadelphia to “try on” cosmetic changes in the nose before committing to a more invasive and costly procedure. Dr. Jones will offer a detailed consultation to help determine your candidacy for either surgical or non-surgical rhinoplasty.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Cosmetic Rhinoplasty?

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty with Dr. Jones in Philadelphia are frustrated by nasal imperfections, such as an oversized nasal bridge, a bulbous, pinched, or drooping tip, and flared or overly wide nostrils. Many patients simply seek a nose that complements their other features and fits better with their overall facial structure. To qualify for surgery, you need to be:

  • Old enough that your nose has finished growing
  • In good health
  • A non-smoker
  • Realistic in your expectations

You will consult with Dr. Jones before surgery, who will conduct a medical and physical assessment to ensure your safety.

What’s the First Step?

Getting started with cosmetic rhinoplasty in Philadelphia is easy. You will meet with Dr. Jones to discuss your goals, learn about the specific techniques the doctor will use, and have all your questions answered with care and accuracy. The doctor will explain the risks, benefits, downtime, costs, and other details associated with cosmetic rhinoplasty, making sure your expectations are grounded in reality. Once you decide to move forward, we will schedule your procedure and provide personalized preparation tools to help ensure a stress-free, seamless aesthetic experience.

What to Expect on the Day of Cosmetic Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty is performed at our state-of-the-art facility in Philadelphia under general anesthesia. Dr. Jones will choose either an open or closed approach. With open rhinoplasty, a tiny incision is made at the base of the nose across the columella, allowing for unfettered access to the internal structures of the nose. With closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made on the inside of the nose, making the surgery essentially “scarless.” Through your incisions, Dr. Jones will reshape the nasal bone and cartilage, making nuanced, individualized changes that reflect your unique vision for your appearance and profile.

You can expect initial swelling, congestion, and soreness in the nose, which can be managed with oral pain medications prescribed by Dr. Jones.
