Rhinoplasty in Dallas
What can a Rhinoplasty do for me?
Rhinoplasty in Dallas (nose job) is a surgery that improves the nose's appearance by changing its shape, size, and/or proportions to bring the nose into balance with the other facial features. It can also be combined with procedures to improve breathing through the nose, such as a septoplasty for a deviated septum. Some of the common concerns that a rhinoplasty in Dallas can treat include:
• Refining the shape of the nasal tip that is poorly defined, broad, drooping or upturned
• Improve the profile of the nose by removing bumps or dips in the bridge
• Change the size and shape of the nose to improve facial balance
• Straighten a crooked nose
• Change the size or shape of the nostrils
• Improve breathing through the nose
What is the cost of Rhinoplasty in Dallas?
The cost of a rhinoplasty in Dallas varies depending on the degree of complexity of the surgery and the length of the procedure. The total cost includes the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and surgical facility fees. In some cases, additional cartilage may be needed, adding to the rhinoplasty cost. The combined cost of rhinoplasty ranges from $8,000-15,000. Each surgery is customized to the goals of the patient and the patient’s unique anatomy.

How long is the recovery after rhinoplasty in Dallas?
Patients take a week off from work or school; minimal activity is recommended for the first week after surgery. Prescribed pain medication is used for 2-3 days. Ibuprofen is used as needed in the first week after surgery. Splints and sutures are removed after seven days. After splint removal, you will be swollen but feel comfortable being seen in public. No vigorous activity is allowed for two weeks after surgery to avoid a nosebleed.
Starting two weeks after surgery, regular cardiovascular exercise and non-contact sports may be resumed gradually. Swimming may also resume two weeks after surgery. Restrictions on contact sports are lifted after six weeks. It is expected to have nasal congestion for 3-4 weeks after surgery due to swelling. You will feel completely back to normal and be presentable for critical social engagements six weeks after rhinoplasty in Dallas surgery.
The majority of swelling subsides within the first few weeks after surgery. When I see patients six weeks after surgery for a routine post-operative visit, there is minimal swelling, and they breathe comfortably through their noses. The nose has the desired shape and projection, and the new proportions of the nose are appreciated. You will look and feel great.
It takes one year for the small amount of residual swelling in your nose to resolve fully. During this time, your nose will look and feel great, but if you were to look at your photos taken six weeks and one year after surgery side-by-side, you would notice subtle improvements in the delicate contours and features of the nasal tip. For this reason, we say it takes one year to heal from a rhinoplasty in Dallas completely.
