Discover Facial Harmony with a Nose Reshaping Procedure

The nose plays a central role in facial balance. When it feels out of proportion; it can affect confidence. At Athēnix Irvine, our surgeons perform rhinoplasty to refine nasal contours, correct asymmetries, and restore function when breathing problems are present. Each surgery is tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy and vision, ensuring results that enhance our natural beauty.

What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose for aesthetic or functional reasons. This can involve refining the nasal bridge, adjusting the tip, narrowing wide nostrils, or correcting structural issues like a deviated septum. The goal is always the same: to improve both form and function while maintaining harmony with the rest of your face.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Choosing rhinoplasty at Athēnix Irvine can provide:

  • Improved balance and symmetry between facial features
  • Refinement of a bulbous or drooping nasal tip
  • Reduction of humps or bumps along the nasal bridge
  • Narrowing of wide nostrils for a more proportionate appearance
  • Straightening of a crooked nose caused by genetics or injury
  • Correction of breathing difficulties due to structural concerns
  • Long-lasting results that enhance self-confidence and comfort

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty if you:

  • Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
  • Have completed nasal development (typically age 18 and older)
  • Wish to improve the appearance of your nose for aesthetic reasons
  • Experience breathing problems caused by structural issues
  • Have realistic expectations about results and recovery

During your consultation, our Irvine surgeons will discuss your goals, evaluate your nasal anatomy, and design a treatment plan tailored specifically for you.

How Rhinoplasty Is Performed

Rhinoplasty is performed at our AAAHC-accredited Irvine facility under general anesthesia or sedation. Depending on your needs, your surgeon may use one of two approaches:

Open Rhinoplasty

A small incision is made at the base of the nose for full visibility and precision during reshaping. Scarring is minimal and well-concealed.

Closed Rhinoplasty

All incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars and allowing for faster healing in suitable cases.

Using advanced techniques, our surgeons refine cartilage, bone, and soft tissue to achieve the desired improvements in both form and function.

Recovery and Results

Following rhinoplasty, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and congestion in the first week, with steady improvement as healing progresses. A splint may be placed for support, typically removed after one week. Most patients return to light activities within 7–10 days, while full recovery and resolution of swelling can take several months.

As healing continues, results gradually refine into their final shape, revealing a nose that feels natural, proportionate, and harmonious with your other features. Patients often report not only aesthetic satisfaction but also improved breathing and overall confidence.

Can rhinoplasty fix breathing issues?

Will rhinoplasty change how I look overall?

Rhinoplasty enhances balance and harmony in your features. The goal is subtle refinement—not to make you look like a different person.

Is rhinoplasty permanent?

Yes. Once healing is complete, results are long-lasting. While aging continues naturally, the structural changes from surgery remain.

How noticeable are scars?

Closed rhinoplasty leaves all incisions inside the nose. Open rhinoplasty uses a tiny external incision that typically fades to near invisibility.

How soon can I return to work?

Most patients can return to work or school in about one week, depending on their individual healing progress.

Can rhinoplasty fix breathing issues?

Yes. Functional rhinoplasty can address structural concerns—such as a deviated septum—to improve airflow and breathing.
