Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job or nose surgery, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose. It’s a popular cosmetic surgery that can enhance facial harmony and boost self-confidence. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stile is an expert in rhinoplasty and has helped countless patients achieve their desired results.
What is Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the shape of the nose. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons, such as to improve the appearance of the nose, or for functional reasons, such as to correct breathing difficulties. During the procedure, the surgeon makes incisions inside the nose or across the columella, the strip of skin between the nostrils. The surgeon then reshapes the underlying bone and cartilage to achieve the desired result.
How Much Does a Rhinoplasty Cost in 2025?
The cost of rhinoplasty varies depending on several factors, including the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the procedure, and the geographic location. In 2025, the average cost of rhinoplasty in the United States is expected to be between $5,000 and $15,000.
The overall cost of any plastic surgery procedure can vary widely, so it’s important to assess your surgeon’s level of skill and experience. With your nose being one of the most prominent parts of your face, nose surgery is not the time for bargain hunting.
What Can Rhinoplasty Treat?
Nose surgery can treat a variety of cosmetic and functional concerns, including:
- Hump on the bridge of the nose
- Nose that feels out of balance with your facial features
- Wide or narrow nose
- Large or drooping nasal tip
- Breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum
- Asymmetry or crookedness, often as the result of an injury
While some surgeons approach male and female rhinoplasty patients with a similar strategy, Dr. Stile has extensive experience working with the thicker skin and heavier bone structure of the male nose to provide superior results for anyone considering the procedure.
What is Recovery Like After Rhinoplasty?
Recovery from rhinoplasty typically takes about a week. During the first few days, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. They may also need to wear a splint for a few days to support the nose. Most patients can return to work or school within a week, but they should avoid strenuous activity for several weeks.
How Long Do Rhinoplasty Results Last?
The results of rhinoplasty are typically permanent. However, the nose may continue to change slightly over time due to aging. Consistent sun protection will help prevent changes to the skin on your nose that can affect its appearance and changes to your facial features as you age may affect your facial balance.
