What is a Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and refines the nose for aesthetic or functional reasons. The goal is to enhance facial harmony while addressing issues such as nasal humps, bulbous tips, asymmetry, or breathing difficulties.
What it corrects: Crooked noses, humps, wide or bulbous tips, breathing obstructions, and overall nasal imbalance.
Limitations: While rhinoplasty enhances facial aesthetics, it must be tailored to each patient’s facial structure to maintain a natural look.
Key steps in the procedure: Incisions (inside the nose or under the columella), precise bone and cartilage sculpting, tip refinement, and septal adjustments for function.
Ideal candidate conditions: Stable weight, non-smoker, good skin elasticity, realistic expectations, and overall good health.
Dr. JC Alvarez’s expertise in rhinoplasty aims for results that are natural, balanced, and customized to enhance each patient’s unique features.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?
- You’re unhappy with your nose’s shape or size
- You experience breathing difficulties
- You’ve finished facial growth
- You’re in good health
- You have realistic expectations
How is Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) Performed?
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia for maximum comfort.
🔹 Incisions: Hidden inside the nostrils or under the nose (columella) for open rhinoplasty.
🔹 Reshaping the structure: Cartilage and bone are sculpted to refine the bridge, tip, and nostrils while maintaining balance.
🔹 Septoplasty (if needed): Straightening the septum improves breathing for functional benefits.
🔹 Sutures & support: Internal sutures and nasal splints help maintain the new shape.
🔹 Dressings & Recovery: Absorbent nasal pads and a splint provide protection and aid healing.
Dr. JC Alvarez aims for precision in every step, sculpting a nose that complements the patient’s unique facial anatomy.
