Dr. Franck specializes in creating natural, beautiful noses that fit your face. Nose surgery is a very personal decision that requires careful consideration.
What Is Rhinoplasty Surgery ?
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 a Rhinoplasty Performed?
During a Rhinoplasty Dr. Franck reshapes the nose by manipulating the anatomy of the nasal bone, cartilage and skin. There are numerous different techniques used depending on the person’s unique anatomy. Dr. Franck will discuss which method is best for you based on your desired results and the anatomy of your nose.

Improve function and breathing

By aligning appearance with personal aesthetic goals, rhinoplasty can help patients feel more confident and comfortable with their facial profile.

Rhinoplasty Timeline
Rhinoplasty FAQs
Rhinoplasty results are long-lasting. While natural aging continues, the structural changes made during surgery are permanent. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding trauma, and following postoperative guidance will help preserve your outcome for decades.
Rhinoplasty recovery is typically more congested than painful. Most patients describe mild pressure rather than sharp pain, and discomfort is easily managed with over-the-counter medication after the first few days. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the healing process feels.
Early changes are visible once the cast comes off at one week. About 70–80% of the swelling resolves by 3–4 months, especially along the bridge. The final shape—particularly the nasal tip—refines gradually over the course of a year or more.
Rhinoplasty pricing in New York City varies depending on complexity, primary vs revision surgery, and the possible need for additional cartilage graft. On average, rhinoplasty in NYC ranges from $12,000–$30,000, with revision rhinoplasty often costing more due to increased complexity. A personalized quote is provided after your consultation and examination.
Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision along the columella, providing better visualization during surgery.
Closed rhinoplasty places all incisions inside the nostrils, with no external scar, and may be appropriate for select patients.
Ideally yes. While there is no guarantee, rhinoplasty can address structural problems such as internal valve collapse, septal deviation, turbinate enlargement, and other anatomic causes of obstruction. Dr. Franck prioritizes both function and form in every nose surgery to ensure you breathe and look your best.
Most patients return to work or school within 7–10 days, once the splint is removed and bruising resolves. Residual swelling continues to improve over several months, with final definition—especially in the nasal tip—appearing between 12–18 months. NYC rhinoplasty patients with thicker skin may experience a slightly longer timeline.
