Rhinoplasty NYC
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a nose reshaping procedure that can change the size, shape, and structure of the nose to improve facial balance.
At Dreams Plastic Surgery in NYC, rhinoplasty is planned around your facial features, nasal anatomy, breathing concerns, and aesthetic goals to create a refined, natural-looking result.
Designed to improve nose shape while respecting your natural features.
May be combined with septoplasty when breathing concerns are present.
Your 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 nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, profile, or overall nose proportion.
Natural-Looking Results
The goal is to improve balance without creating an artificial or overdone appearance.
Customized Planning
Every rhinoplasty is planned according to facial anatomy, nasal structure, and patient goals.
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 to address breathing-related concerns.
Common Concerns Treated
- Nasal hump or bump on the bridge
- Wide or narrow nasal bridge
- Drooping nasal tip
- Bulbous or undefined nasal tip
- Crooked or asymmetric nose appearance
- Wide nostrils or nostril flare
- Nose size that feels out of balance with the face
Rhinoplasty Before & After
Rhinoplasty results should look refined, balanced, and natural. Individual outcomes vary depending on nasal anatomy, skin thickness, healing, facial structure, and the surgical plan.

Rhinoplasty vs. Septoplasty
Rhinoplasty is usually performed to reshape the nose for aesthetic balance. Septoplasty is the surgical correction of a deviated septum, which may help improve nasal airflow when the wall between the nasal passages is crooked.
When both cosmetic and functional concerns are present, the procedures may be performed together as 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.
How Rhinoplasty Surgery Works
Every rhinoplasty is customized. The procedure may focus on the bridge, tip, nostrils, nasal width, projection, symmetry, or a combination of concerns.
Additional Rhinoplasty Options
In some circumstances, cosmetic rhinoplasty may involve additional techniques depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals.
Related Techniques
- Septorhinoplasty: combines nose reshaping with septum correction.
- Alarplasty: narrows the nostrils and reduces nostril flare.
- Tip refinement: improves nasal tip shape, projection, or definition.
- Bridge refinement: smooths or adjusts the nasal profile.
Male and Female Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty should be tailored to each patient’s face. Male rhinoplasty often focuses on preserving a strong and balanced profile, while female rhinoplasty may focus on refinement, proportion, and facial softness.
The most important goal is a natural-looking result that fits the patient’s individual features, not a one-size-fits-all nose.
A Nose That Fits Your Face
The nose sits at the center of the face, so even subtle changes can affect overall balance. A well-planned rhinoplasty can improve the relationship between the nose, chin, cheeks, lips, and profile.
Am I a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
You may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty if you are unhappy with the size, shape, symmetry, tip, bridge, nostrils, or overall balance of your nose. You may also be a candidate for septorhinoplasty if you have both cosmetic concerns and breathing-related issues.
A consultation is required to determine the right approach for your anatomy, medical history, breathing concerns, and goals.
