Meeting with multiple prospective surgeons is also a great way to make your choice. Make sure you are comfortable speaking to the surgeon, and make sure he or she asks you plenty of questions, and does not rush you through any part of the consultation. After you have fully described your goals, the surgeon should provide you with informative, thoroughly explained options.

Patients who are unhappy with their previous nose job results are candidates for secondary rhinoplasty. Whether the nose is deemed too small, too large, or improperly shaped, a skilled surgeon may be able to correct the problem. Patients who experience breathing difficulties following rhinoplasty may also opt to undergo a second procedure. Factors influencing candidacy for revision rhinoplasty include:
Many patients choose to combine rhinoplasty with a facelift for dramatic results and an overall more youthful appearance. This procedure can treat creases and sagging skin, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, chin, and mouth. There are several types of facelifts, and patients can choose a mid, mini, or lower facelift to address specific areas of concern. Through carefully concealed incisions, the doctor raises the facial muscles, removes unwanted fat deposits, and trims away extra skin. Following a facelift, patients may look significantly younger.
Secondary rhinoplasty differs from the primary procedure in that it may require cartilage or bone grafting. If too much tissue or bone was removed in the first surgery, the doctor will need to replace this in order to achieve the desired look. Often, cartilage is taken from the ear or other areas of the nose. In rare cases, it is harvested from a rib, in what is known as a costal cartilage graft.

Doctors realize that most rhinoplasty patients are not eligible for insurance coverage. For this reason, many surgeons offer in-house financing options. With approved credit, patients may be eligible for low-interest or fixed-interest repayment plans. Additionally, many doctors offer significant discounts when patients pay for their procedures in full prior to treatment. Most cosmetic surgery practices accept cash, check, and all major credit cards.


There are many pros and cons to both a non-surgical nose job and a surgical rhinoplasty. Some of the advantages that people love about a non-surgical nose job (completed with dermal filler) is that it is fast and easy. In less than 15 minutes, a bump can be masked or a bridge created. Another great advantage is that if you were considering a rhinoplasty, but wanted to test the waters first, you can have a non-surgical nose job completed. *If you realize that the look is not for you, the dermal filler used on your nose is dissolvable and reversible.* Some of the disadvantages to this temporary nose job is that it will only last around 9 months depending on the type of injectable filler used, so you would have to return on a regular basis to maintain your results. Another disadvantage is that not everyone is a great candidate for non-surgical rhinoplasty depending on what needs to be done to improve or correct your area of concern. A free consult in our office with help you determine if the non-surgical nose job is the appropriate choice for you.


When someone is dissatisfied with their nose they can undergo nose surgery (rhinoplasty) to straighten, reshape, alter the length and generally improve its overall appearance. However, not all rhinoplasty’s are performed solely for aesthetic reasons. Sometimes people have the procedure to address breathing problems or to rectify a birth defect. The cost of what’s commonly referred to as a nose job can fluctuate.
Non Surgical Nose job results typically will last up to 1 year. You can read our Dermal Fillers page to learn more about which injectable filler products are the longest lasting. For non-surgical rhinoplasty, we advise that clients return for maintenance before the 1-year mark in order to maintain the overall look, contour, and shape created for the nose with the dermal filler.
