Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a nose reshaping procedure designed to improve the size, shape, structure, and overall balance of the nose.
At Dreams Plastic Surgery, rhinoplasty is planned around your facial features, breathing concerns, and aesthetic goals to create a natural-looking result that fits your face.
Designed to improve nose shape while respecting your natural features.
May be combined with septoplasty when breathing issues are present.
Your treatment plan is based on anatomy, goals, and expectations.
What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a type of nose reshaping surgery that can change the size, shape, and structure of the nose. The medical name comes from Greek: “rhinos” means nose, and “plassein” means to shape.
Nose Reshaping
Can refine the bridge, tip, nostrils, profile, or overall proportions of the nose.
Natural-Looking Results
The goal is to improve balance without creating an artificial or overdone appearance.
Customized Planning
Every rhinoplasty is planned according to your facial anatomy, goals, and nasal structure.
What Can Rhinoplasty Improve?
Rhinoplasty can address cosmetic concerns related to the nose while improving harmony with the rest of the face. In some cases, it may also be combined with functional nasal surgery.
- Nasal hump or bump on the bridge
- Wide or narrow nasal bridge
- Drooping nasal tip
- Bulbous or undefined nasal tip
- Asymmetry or crooked appearance
- Wide nostrils or nostril flare
- Facial imbalance caused by nose size or shape
Rhinoplasty vs. Septoplasty
Rhinoplasty is usually performed for aesthetic nose reshaping. Septoplasty is the surgical correction of a deviated septum, which may help improve breathing when the wall between the nasal passages is crooked.
When both cosmetic and functional concerns are present, the procedures may be performed together as a septorhinoplasty, with one operation and one recovery period.
Cosmetic and Functional Nose Surgery
Some patients want to refine the appearance of the nose, while others also have breathing concerns. During your consultation, your surgeon can determine whether rhinoplasty, septoplasty, or septorhinoplasty may be appropriate.
Rhinoplasty Before & After
Rhinoplasty results should be balanced, refined, and natural-looking. Individual results vary depending on nasal anatomy, skin thickness, healing, and the surgical plan.

Additional Rhinoplasty Options
In some cases, rhinoplasty may involve additional techniques depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals.
Alarplasty
May be used to narrow the nostrils and reduce nostril flare.
Septorhinoplasty
Combines aesthetic nose reshaping with correction of a deviated septum.
Tip Refinement
Can improve the shape, projection, or definition of the nasal tip.
Am I a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
You may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty if you are unhappy with the size, shape, or balance of your nose, have realistic expectations, and want a result that complements your facial features. A consultation is the best way to determine which approach is right for you.
