What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a "nose job", is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose. It can change the size, angle, or shape of the nose and improve its overall appearance. Rhinoplasty may also correct structural issues with the nose, such as an obstruction in breathing caused by a deviated septum or nasal valve collapse. This procedure can be combined with other facial plastic surgery procedures for enhanced results.

How is Rhinoplasty performed?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the nose. This can be achieved through various techniques, such as removing excess tissue or cartilage, reducing the size of the nostrils, and making adjustments to the bridge and tip of the nose. There are numerous different techniques used in Rhinoplasty and it requires a thorough understanding and experience by a surgeon to be able to apply the right technique for you. Dr. Franck will discuss which method is best for you based on your desired results and the anatomy of your nose. The rhinoplasty procedures involves making incisions inside the nose to reshape and adjust its structure. Sutures are used to close any remaining incisions, and a splint may be applied for support during healing. Swelling and bruising are normal after surgery but will subside over time.

What are the different techniques for rhinoplasty?
The most common technique in nose job surgery worldwide is an open procedure involving incisions across the columella (the area between the nostrils). This allows for greater access to the underlying cartilage and bone of the nose. However, Dr. Franck at Kassir Plastic Surgery prefers a closed endonasal technique, where all incisions are made hidden inside the nostrils. During your consultation with Dr. Franck, he will discuss which technique best suits you, depending on your individual needs and goals. There are additional nuances to cosmetic rhinoplasty that depend on each case. A revision rhinoplasty will require a different approach than a cosmetic surgery that only addresses the nasal tip. Other techniques that Dr. Franck uses are
Preservation rhinoplasty is a specialized technique used to preserve the existing anatomy of the nose while still achieving the desired aesthetic outcome. This type of procedure can also be used for reconstructive surgery after trauma or injury and to improve breathing problems caused by structural defects in the nose. During preservation rhinoplasty, your plastic surgeon will make small incisions inside the nostrils and manipulate tissues without changing the entire shape of your nose.
Ultrasound Piezo rhinoplasty is a newer rhinoplasty technique that uses an ultrasound device to break down bone and cartilage to reshape the nose. This procedure has several benefits, including minimal bleeding and swelling, shorter surgery time, less risk of complications, and faster recovery time. The Piezo device can also reduce the size of a nasal hump or bulbous tip and even narrow the nose for a more symmetrical look. This technique is best suited for people who are looking for subtle changes rather than a dramatic reshaping of the nose.
Structural rhinoplasty is a more complex form of nose surgery that involves reshaping and restructuring the nasal bones and cartilage. This type of procedure can be used to correct crooked noses, reduce the size and width of nostrils, straighten the septum, improve the appearance of a dorsal hump (prominent bridge of the nose), and can even be used to correct breathing problems caused by structural defects in the nose. Structural rhinoplasty is a complicated procedure and requires a highly skilled plastic surgeon with years of experience and expertise.
Functional rhinoplasty is a form of nose surgery that focuses on restoring air flow through the nasal passages to improve breathing. This type of procedure can correct structural defects within the nose, such as a deviated septum or crooked nasal bones, which can obstruct airflow and cause breathing problems, chronic sinus infections, and snoring.
No matter the type of rhinoplasty technique used, the goal is to create a balanced and harmonious look while still preserving your natural facial features.
Which technique is right for me?
The best technique for rhinoplasty will depend on your individual goals and needs. During your consultation with Dr. Franck, he can discuss the different types of procedures available and help you decide which is best suited for you. He takes into account your facial anatomy, skin type, and lifestyle to ensure the best possible outcome.

What can I expect after rhinoplasty surgery?
Rhinoplasty surgery is a major procedure and requires proper recovery time. Immediately following the surgery, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the nose area. You will need to wear a splint for about a week to help keep the structure of your nose intact. It’s also important to avoid strenuous activities such as running, lifting heavy objects, or any activities that could increase your blood pressure. We will provide you with medications to help reduce swelling and discomfort during recovery. Swelling can take several months to subside completely, but most visible changes will be apparent within 6-8 weeks after surgery.
How much does a nose job cost
The cost of rhinoplasty in New York City will often depend on the type of procedure and technique required. Dr. Franck at Kassir Plastic Surgery will provide an accurate estimate after assessing your case during a consultation. In general, rhinoplasty can range from $10,000-$25,000 depending on whether it is a closed or open technique and other factors. The total cost is a combination of the surgeon's fee, the anesthesia cost, and facility fees. One of the most important factors determining the rhinoplasty cost is if it is a primary rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty. Revision rhinoplasty surgery is more difficult and requires more extensive surgery due to scar tissue and the possible need for additional grafts. Dr. Franck, together with the team at Kassir Plastic Surgery, offer financing options, such as CareCredit and PatientFi, to help make your rhinoplasty more affordable.
Can insurance cover rhinoplasty?
In general, rhinoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure, and most insurance companies will not cover the cost. However, if you have a deviated septum or other medical condition that can be improved with rhinoplasty, then your health insurance may cover some of the cost. It’s important to bring up any functional problems during your consultation with Dr. Franck to learn more about what is and isn’t covered. During your consultation, our team will be able to assess if part of the costs of rhinoplasty can be covered by your health insurance.
