Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic surgery that enhances the look and shape of the nose. It can also help to repair functional or breathing issues in some patients. Dr. Husam Elias is a seasoned cosmetic nose and facial surgeon who offers rhinoplasty, taking a conservative approach to allow for the most natural results. While rhinoplasty consists of only slight surgical changes, results tend to be quite noticeable. Rhinoplasty at The Pacific Coast Center for Oral, Facial & Cosmetic Surgery in Pasadena, CA is performed to make a nose look smaller or correct a nose that protrudes outward, or is of an irregular shape. The goal is to produce a more aesthetically appealing nose that meets your goals and functions properly. Learn more about rhinoplasty by contacting The Pacific Coast Center for Oral, Facial & Cosmetic Surgery to schedule an appointment for a consultation.

When the nose is out of proportion or not in balance with other facial features, it can significantly impact one’s feelings of self-confidence and self-esteem. While the shape of your nose is usually the result of heredity, the appearance may have been altered due to an injury.

Nose surgery is performed with the patient under IV sedation or general anesthesia and is considered an outpatient surgical procedure. Dr. Elias performs rhinoplasty using either an open or closed (endonasal) approach. The goal during treatment is to reduce excess cartilage, tissue, and bone or to improve and add cartilage if needed for reshaping. The nasal features are repositioned and the skin is draped over the newly structured framework. Sutures are implemented either inside the nose or along the natural external fold.

Following your cosmetic nose surgery, you will be monitored closely and then our nurses will release you to recover at home. You will experience swelling and bruising for the first few days after your procedure. In most cases, there is bruising and discoloration beneath the eyes, in addition to the nose. Cold compresses and pain medication can help relieve these symptoms. Your post-operative appointment with Dr. Elias will occur within a couple of days following surgery to check your healing process. It generally takes about 2 – 4 weeks to recover from nose surgery. Within this timeframe, strenuous exertion should be avoided.

 

Both men and women are candidates for rhinoplasty. If you are unhappy with the size and shape of your nose and have distinct issues you would like to improve, enhance, or correct, this surgery may be the recommended course of action. It is important that expectations are understood, as your nose and facial profile will be altered. In addition, facial growth and maturity should also be complete. This will be addressed during your consultation, even more so for teens.

How much does rhinoplasty cost?

The cost of nose reshaping surgery varies based on the technique used and how complex your procedure is. Before estimating costs, Dr. Elias will listen to your needs and goals to help create your custom treatment plan. When this is done, he can go over costs for the facility, anesthesia, and more. For your best results, it's important to focus on choosing an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Elias, instead of the lowest cost. To help make your surgery easy to afford, Pacific Coast Center accepts many payment methods and our office can help you find low-interest medical financing.

Will my insurance cover functional nose surgery?

Although rhinoplasty to improve your appearance is not covered by insurance, functional rhinoplasty that is medically necessary to improve your breathing may be covered. If you are considering applying for reimbursement from your insurance, please tell Dr. Elias during your consultation. Our office will help you submit any needed paperwork and information to your insurance to process your claim.

Are there nonsurgical options to change my nose?

If you want to smooth the appearance of lumps and bumps on your nose, a wrinkle filler (like Juvéderm or Restylane) may be an option. An injectable filler can temporarily improve minor imperfections on your nose, which might help you decide to proceed with rhinoplasty. Nose surgery is better for long-lasting results, larger changes, and to improve the internal structure for better function. At your consultation, Dr. Elias can let you know if you may be a candidate for nonsurgical nose reshaping.
