Rhinoplasty, most commonly referred to as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure designed to create a natural-looking nose that balances with the rest of the face. It is a highly refined procedure and not an easy one to master. Deformed noses are often accompanied by breathing problems, and most rhinoplasty techniques can easily worsen these problems.  It is best to trust your nose to a specialist who has many years of experience and judgment. Often rhinoplasty is accompanied by a chin implant to produce a more balanced and harmonious face, and on some occasions a chin implant alone will correct an apparent prominent nose.  Recovery is rapid, discomfort rarely lasts more than one day, and almost everyone can return to normal social activity in six days.

    The cost of a cosmetic rhinoplasty ranges from approximately $3800 to $5200.  Correction of internal breathing problems, if required or desired, is an extra fee.
