How Much Is a Nose Job  or How Much Does a it Cost?

After the article explaining what a nose surgery or job is, someone emailed us asking “how much is a nose surgical job?”

Well the cost varies depending on the specific requirements of a patient. The needs of one patient will essentially vary from that of another particularly in situations where the procedure is being performed for cosmetic reasons as opposed to health reasons. The cost will thus vary as easily as the needs of patients.

Nevertheless, the cost rhinoplasty varies from as low as $2,000 to as high as $10,000 depending on your needs. After a keen observation, I have also noted that the location of the plastic surgeon also has a significant influence on the cost of a nose job. At least that is my opinion based on my observation of real reviews on the Real Self portal.

The average cost as at the time of this writing is $6,775. This is based on an automated reporting derived from the reported prices by actual patients who are also members of the Real Self portal.

Now that we have answered the question ‘how much is a nose surgery or job?” (Or so I assume), here are some more tips that you may want to consider when selecting the appropriate plastic surgeon for your specific requirements:

Don’t base your judgment on the cost of the nose job alone: While it makes economic sense to shop around in order to get the best value for your money, using the cost alone to make your decision with regard to the surgeon to go for is not recommended.

In an interview with The Daily Mail, Dr. Roberts specifically warns against clinics that offer “cheap deals” such as free consultations that are then offered by a front person rather than the surgeon who will be performing the actual procedure. That is a definite No-No!

The importance one-on-one consultation with your plastic surgeon before the actual surgery is one thing that you should never overlook.

It is also advisable to check that the surgeon is accredited by the relevant board, e.g. the American society of Plastic surgeons and to check the surgeon’s before and after pictures of nose surgery or  job patients he has worked with before. If you ever feel like you are not sure about the surgeon, chances are that your instincts are right. You are better safe than sorry. Don’t be another story of a nose job gone wrong.

Your insurance company may not cover the cost (or full cost) of a nose surgery or job: A nose surgery or job can be done to achieve one of two purposes: to correct a medical defect (e.g. a deviated septum that interferes with normal breathing or makes nasal congestion an everyday problem) or to enhance someone’s appearance (e.g. by reducing the size of the nose or reshaping the nose to a desired look).

Most insurance company will not cover the cost if it is intended for the latter purpose. All in all, it is always a good idea to check with your insurance company before getting any nose surgical procedure done even if for medical purposes so as to have a clear picture of the extent of the cost they are willing to offset (could be the whole cost, facility fee, surgeon fee etc).

That is to mean that in addition to the question “how much is a nose surgical job?” you should also ask yourself “how much I my insurance company going to cover off the bill?”

How Much Does a Good Nose Job Cost

I was reading around on one of my favorite nose job forums searching for inspiration on what to write about when I came across the question, “How much does a good nose job cost?”

Well to be sincere that is a tricky question to ask because the results varies from one person to another and what someone may get contented with may not what another person appreciates.

The use of the term “good” thus makes it a very relative situation but with all the factors for choosing a good surgeon taken into account, you can expect to pay between $2,000 and $10,000 depending on your exact requirement and the location of your plastic surgeon.

How Much Does the Average Nose Job Cost?

The other day someone asked, “How much does the average nose job cost?” Well, assuming I am answering the right question, the average cost is $6,775. This is the average price as of the time of this writing based on the cost incurred by actual patients who have undergone the procedure as reported on the rhinoplasty section of the Real Self web community.

How Much Does a Non Surgical Nose Job Cost?

Surgical procedure is what immediately comes to the mind of most people when the term “nose job” is mentioned and it is vey easy to forget that there are as well non surgical jobs. So how much do non surgical nose jobs cost? The cost varies from $500 to $3,500 depending on the exact nature of the procedure required and the location of your surgeon. The average price is however $750 so keep that in mind.

Cost of Nose Job or How Much Does It Cost?

According to WebMD, the cost of a nose job includes the surgeon’s fee as well as the facility fee, the anaesthesia, medicines, nasal packing and other services.

It is also important to note that the cost is more often than not varies from one plastic surgeon to another. Judging from the look of things on RealSelf, the location of a plastic surgeon also influences the cost. At least that is my opinion.

As we have already mentioned elsewhere, a rhinoplasty is usually done to address one of two issues, namely, to enhance ones nose for aesthetic purposes, and to correct a health problem, say a deviated septum that is making breathing difficult or causing nasal congestion every now and then.

However, it is as well important to note that the majority of insurance companies will not cover the cost if it is intended for the first purpose; to improve one’s appearance or perception of his/her image.

It is therefore advisable to check with your insurance company before undergoing a the procedure even if you are having it performed for health reasons. That way, you will be able to know what portion of the cost they can cover.

I took some time to research the cost of a nose surgery or job and one of the best resources I found for this purpose was the rhinoplasty or nose surgery o job section of the RealSelf website, or should I call it a web community of nose surgical job enthusiasts and would-be patients?

Now before I give you the cost of a nose surgery or job in numerical figures, let’s start by reiterating here that there are two types of nose jobs, namely, surgical and the non surgical options. The former is what comes to the mind of many when the term is mentioned but non surgical  one are as well growing in popularity.

The downside to the latter is that the results are typically temporary unlike surgical rhinoplasty.

All said and done, the cost of a surgical is between $2,000 and $10,000, you can be given even a higher cost if you go to high profile rhinoplasty surgeons and the cost of a non surgical procedure is between $500 and $3500. It is thus advisable to shop around before settling for a rhinoplasty surgeon.

Average Cost of Nose Job

The question what is the average cost of a nose job is often asked in online communities serving the rhinoplasty crowd, that is, people who are considering having the procedure to either correct their nose shape or size, or to correct a health problem.

Well the average cost of a surgical option is $6,775 while the average cost of a non surgical is $750. This is according to prices reported by actual patients (members of the Real Self Community) who have undergone a the actual procedure.

All said and done, it is important to note that price alone is not sufficient to determine the suitability of a surgeon for your nose surgery or job requirement; it is important to do your due diligence. Remember it is your nose that the surgeon will be working on and it is very likely that you don’t fancy the idea of having an endless stream of revision surgeries.

In principle, you want to ensure that the plastic surgeon is registered with the relevant board in your country and state. You will also want to look at before and after photos of past nose surgery or job patients. Most surgeons will have these posted somewhere in their facility or on their website.

Nose Job Price Range and Average Price

The question, “what is the nose job price range?” also seems to hit our inbox all so often and while we have really highlighted that in the above section, I think it deserves another mention right here using the exact keywords that these readers use.

On that nose, the nose job price range is $500 to $3,500 for a non surgical procedure and between $3000 to $12,000 for for a surgical procedure

However, in his interview with The Daily Mail, Dr David Roberts warns against shopping on price alone. In particular you should not go for doctors who offer free consultation which is then provided by someone eels in the front office without getting a chance to meet the surgeon who will be performing the actual rhinoplasty procedure.

Minor Nose Job Cost

How much does a minor nose surgical procedure or job cost? Well that depends on the location of the surgeon and the procedure required. In other words there is no way to tell exactly how much it would cost as that would vary from one case to the other. It also depends on the type required, that is whether it is a surgical (typically costs more) or a non surgical one. Nevertheless, you can expect to pay from $2,500 onwards depending on your specific need and location.

Male Nose Job Cost

Just the other day someone asked, “What is the cost for male nose surgery or job?” Well, in essence male rhinoplasty would cost the same as a female in literal sense. That is to say that gender doesn’t inform the costs.

Nose Job Cost Chicago

Are you wondering how much a nose job costs in Chicago? Well I took the time to do a brief research by searching on Google using the phrase “nose surgery or job in Chicago cost”. The average price in Chicago is $ 5,625.

Nose Job Cost Boston

As for my attempt to determine the rhinoplasty cost in Boston, I tried both Google and the nose surgery or job section of the Real Self website. I had an inconclusive research with this one and would recommend you keep the overall average of $ 6,775 in mind when looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon in Boston.

Nose Job Cost NYC

Based on the requests of our readers, I also went ahead to research the average cost in NYC, again using the Real Self website and Google. My research was as well inconclusive and I would recommend keeping the $6,777 average cost in mind while looking for this service in NYC.

Nose Job Simulator

Virtual nasal surgery

How would you look like if some elements of your nose were augmented, say that small bump on your nose bridge was filled or the profile of your nose tip was enhanced? Do you get rhinoplasty done and then see whether you like the results? Of course not, chances are that you could have a nose surgical job done only to find out that you do not like your new look. This is where you need a nose job stimulator.

Furthermore, if you are thinking about having a rhinoplasty done and you are wondering what you would look like after the changes to the size, and shape of your nose that you have in mind, then you will delight to know that there are many simulators that does just that: giving you a clear visual image of what you would look like after the surgery.

Nose surgery or job plastic surgeons typically use simulation software in their facilities to render the kind of look that the desired changes to the nose would achieve on a computer and if a patient likes the look and is comfortable enough to give the go-ahead. The surgeon may then proceed to perform the surgery whose focus is to give the patient their desired nose shape.

This is important because just as a patient dislikes his/she current nose, he/she may dislike the new shape, unnecessarily necessitating a revision surgery for which there would still be no way to tell if the patient will finally like the new nose.

The kind of nose surgery job simulator we are talking about here is software that is normally installed on the plastic surgeon’s computer which means that it necessitates a visit to the surgeon’s facility.  This means that you would have to pay a consultation fee first before you can access such a  simulator and this might not be the ideal option for everyone.

That brings us to the second type of nose surgery simulators, the once to be found on the internet. Such simulators create computerized images to depict potential results if you were to undergo a rhinoplasty with the exact modifications you have made to your photo.

It also helps you to make decision on what exactly you want done during a rhinoplasty since you are able to weigh how much you like a particular change in your nose.

Despite all the controversy surrounding the app, iSurgeon is another greatly rated simulator.

Nose Job Simulator Free or Free Simulator for a Nose Job

Here is how you might look like after rhinoplasty

There are many rhinoplasty simulators that you can use to visualize the kind of look you could have in the future if the changes you have in mind were to be performed on your face. One great free simulator that I found while researching for this article is available at plastic-surgery-simulator.com. It is downloadable software that is free to use for 2 days.

Online Nose Job Simulator

If you would rather not bother yourself with the downloading and installation process involved with the plastic-surgery-simulator.com simulator, then you will find a free online rhinoplasty simulator at FaceTouchUp.com. I tried it and it is very easy to use.

Virtual Nose Job and My Experience with FaceTouchUp

The term virtual nose job is one that is seen around more and more often online. This basically means giving yourself or someone else rhinoplasty by making modifications to your nose as you desire.

A photo is typically uploaded to the online job simulator you choose (I personally had a good experience working with FaceTouchUp.com nose job simulator but the simulator downloadable from plastic-surgery-simulator is as well very powerful.   The use of digital photos is the reason behind the use of the term “virtual”).

The FaceTouchUp.com is very easy to use and I tried working with the model they have on their site for practice. All that is required of you is to use your mouse to select an area of your nose you would wish to change upon which a small circle appears which you can then use to drag the highlighted area around.

As you practice and have fun getting a virtual nose surgery job, it is important to remember that the results of a virtual nose job may not always match the results of the actual rhinoplasty one hundred percent. Even then, using a virtual tool is a great way to get a glimpse into the likely results of the operation. It is kind of like getting a preview of your future look.

Once through, you just need to click on the See Before/After link and the site will play a short video showing the changes made to your nose. It also gives you the options to either print or save your rhinoplasty results.

I personally loved it so much, FaceTouchUp is an awesome free to use (at least as at the time of this writing) nose simulator.

Virtual Nose Job Free

Just the other day someone asked, “Does someone know a great site where I can surprise a friend of mine with virtual nose for free?”

Well I can make out that this person wanted a free online rhinoplasty simulator but I am not sure about the part on surprising his/her friend. Maybe he/she meant a site where he/she can post some post-virtual nose job images for his/her friends to see in which case a Blogspot or Tumblr blog would be a great free option.

As for the free virtual nose job simulator provided at FaceTouchUp.com would be a great option.

Virtual Nose Surgery and Typical Results Before and After

What Is a Non Surgical Nose Job

The Wikipedia defines a non-surgical nose job as “Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a medical procedure in which injectable fillers, most commonly hyaluronic acid ones like Restylane and Juvederm or calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse), are used to alter and shape a person’s nose without invasive surgery”.

Non-surgical nose job, otherwise known as non-surgical rhinoplasty or injection rhinoplasty, can improve the shape and size of the nose and enhance the overall appearance by taking care of any troughs, dips and bumps.

Small volumes of dermal filler are usually injected into the targeted nasal area. This could be the tip, the base, or the nose bridge; the three of which are the most important features of your nose in as far as your nasal shape is concerned.

This procedure can also be used to make corrections to small defects caused by surgical rhinoplasty and it suitable for use by any individual regardless of his/her ethnicity. The procedure takes between 10 and 15 minutes only and you can resume your daily activities immediately in most cases.

Non-Surgical Nose Job Risks

There are various risks associated with this procedure. For instance you may get some discomfort for a few days after getting the procedure.

You can also get some local infections but the most significant risk of them all is the likelihood of getting an asymmetrical nose. Imagine having to contend with a nose that is a bit too thick on one side.

Although very rare, you may also get granulomas as a result of the body reacting to the “foreign” bodies injected.

Permanent Non Surgical Nose Job

A typical non-surgical rhinoplasty  is usually temporary. The question then is “Can I get a permanent non-surgical nose jobs?”

The answer is “Yes” but most respected rhinoplasty specialists would not recommend it since it involves using silicone injections, or ArteFill. Such injections are associated with inflammatory problems that may be difficult to treat without surgery.

Non Surgical Nose Job Pictures

If you have been reading around on this site for some time now, then you may have noticed our obsession with pictures. We like posting before and after pictures when discussing cosmetic and health procedures with notable changes on an individual whenever possible.

After all someone equated a picture to a thousand words (quite a lot huh!) and who are we to disagree with that wise man. Anyway going back to our topic, here are a few non-surgical nose job before and after photos to inspire you on what is possible with this procedure.

Non Surgical Nose Job Cost or Price, How Much Is

Now that we know what a non-surgical nose procedure is, the next question is, “how much does a non-surgical nose job cost?” well that depends on numerous factors ranging from the type of filler used, the volume of filler required per treatment session, and the total number of sessions required.

The cost also varies from one practitioner to another irrespective of the above factors. The price can also rise if combined treatment is used.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty cost can be as low as $500 and as high as $3,500 depending on your specific requirements and the location of the practitioner. The average price is however $750 based on reported prices by real patients in the Real Self community.

Non Surgical Nose Job Before After Treatment

There are numerous things that you need to observe before and after this procedure in order to ensure results.

The dermatologist or plastic surgeon performing the non-surgical procedure on your nose will give you the precautions to follow several days before the procedure depending on the specific kind of dermal filler that he/she will be using for your particular case.

Below are some general guidelines that you should consider after the non-surgical rhinoplasty has been performed.

• Avoid trauma and pressure on your nose for the next 5 days. Sleeping on your back can minimize the chances of accidentally sleeping on your nose
• Stay away from the sun and avoid laser treatment for at least 7 days as these can lead to scarring and inflammation in the nose.
• The doctor will give you additional post-procedure requirements that you must keep to the letter for the best results.

Nose Job without Surgery

Rhinoplasty without surgery is one of the latest concepts to have hit the market. A quick scan through some of the most popular beauty forums online and you will see all manner of questions asked about the topic such as “Does nose jobs without surgery work?” and “Where can I get a nose job without surgery?

In reality the term “nose job without surgery that we see being thrown around simply means “non-surgical rhinoplasty or job on your nose” as in the above context. There are many dermatologists and facial plastic surgeon nowadays who are offering nose enhancements or corrections without surgery as an alternative to the surgical rhinoplasty.

Who is nose job without surgery for?

It is especially preferred for minor nose shaping jobs, say reducing a bump for example, and usually involves using dermal fillers which are typically injected into the respective area where reshaping is desired. In the United States, Radiesse and Sculptra are the two most commonly used fillers.

It is important to keep in mind that the dermal fillers commonly used to give a this kind of a procedure usually works by filling in the depressed parts of your nose and nose bridge, altering the angle of the nasal tip to make it more elevated, and as such you can only augment but not alter the size of the nose. Straightening the nose can however make it appear smaller.

Remember also that the so called “nose job without surgery” is chiefly a cosmetic procedure and can not be used to correct any functional problem such as deviated septum which often cause nasal congestion or make breathing difficult.

African American rhinoplasty

To clarify issues, African Americans requirements for a nose  surgery or job are essentially different from that of their Korean or Caucasian counterparts. African American patients typically seek a narrower nose bridge, a more defined nose tip and narrower nostrils. To clarify this more, let us look at African American nose.

African American Nose Type

The African American nose type is commonly distinguishable for its tendency to have wide nostrils and less projecting nose tips. They also tend to be wide in overall size and are commonly associated with thick skin and less cartilage.

African American Nose Jobs

Before and after nose surgery

The overall shapes and appearances of African American noses are as diversified as the countries and geographic regions that this population is drawn from.

Richard W. Westreich, MD, a Manhattan Facial Plastic Surgeon thus holds the opinion that the term African American Rhinoplasty (or African American nose surgery job if you like) does not sufficiently reflect the diversity in nose types that characterise the African American population.

Nevertheless, patients on a general scale seek narrower nose bridge, more defined nose tip and narrower nostrils. African American patients seek nose surgeries or jobs for just the same reasons as other ethnic groups.

That is, to enhance or change the shape and/or size of the nose for cosmetic reasons, or to correct a defect e.g. a deviated septum that frequently cause nasal congestion and thus breathing difficulty.

Nose jobs are also increasingly being done to counteract common issues associated with the ageing process e.g. droopy nose, and humps and bumps due to variations in cartilage thickness.

African American Rhinoplasty

Whatever the reason, most African American patients want to alter the shape and size of their nose as per their cosmetic desires while at the same time retaining the essence of the African American ethnicity by retaining the distinct facial traits and features of their ethnicity.

African American patients usually have thicker skin and thin cartilage which often necessitates the plastic surgeons to use various types of graft in order to strengthen the nose and make it more defined. Grafts may be added to the nose bridge, tip or to the base of the nose.

The price for African American nose jobs is between $3000 and $12,000. The average price on realself.com community is $6,450

African American Nose Jobs Before And After

Here comes our favorite section, the “before and after” section. For the sake of inspiration on what is achievable with African American nose jobs, take a look at the following pictures showing African American individuals before and after getting procedure done:

Black Nose Jobs  and How to Find a Surgeon

Now that you know what an African American nose job (or black rhinoplasty for that matter) is, you are now probably wondering, “where can I get a black nose job surgeon”.

There are many plastic surgeons specializing in ethnic rhinoplasty and to unearth a good surgeon, your best bet would be to search on Google (or any other search engine) using the phrase, “Black Nose jobs surgeon in [your city or state].

The rhinoplasty section of the Real Self website is another great resource. Here you will find plastic surgeons reviews from real people who have undergone plastic surgery. There is even a section devoted entirely to African American Rhinoplasty and with some due diligence on your part you can get a good surgeon there.

Nose surgery or job surgeons are typically trained in plastic surgery, otolaryngology (Ear, Nose and Throat) or both. But as Dr. David Roberts highlights in an interview with The Daily Mai, training alone is not enough to make your decision in as far as the surgeon is considered whether you are looking for black nose job or any other variation.

You will in particular want to view some of his/her before and after patient’s photos. Surgeons usually have a portfolio of their work posted on their website or in their office and you wile ant to have a look at them.

It is also prudent to check that the surgeon is registered with the relevant boards in your country or state (e.g. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons).

Above all, don’t use price as the only factor on which to base your decision. For example, you should avoid some clinics that offer free consultation in the front office but don’t give you the chance to see the actual surgeon who will be performing the procedure.

Korean Nose Job or Korean Nose Surgery

In general Asians, including Koreans, have small button noses characterized by flat nose bridge that begins relatively lower in the face, wide and round shaped nostrils and poorly projecting nose tips. Asian noses also typically have weak cartilage which largely explains the flat profile of Asian noses.

Korean rhinoplasty

As a result, Asian nose job patients typically seek “more defined nose” unlike their western counterparts who have high nose bridges. Western nose surgeries patients commonly ask for a reduction in their dorsal hump but Asian patients will opt for an augmentation rhinoplasty that uses silicone implants to elevate the nose bridge.

Asian nose surgery in the general sense therefore tends to be completely different in approach from typical westerner. It is worth noting at this point that some Koreans and other people from South East Asia have higher nose bridges which means that they may not necessarily need implant augmentation as most of their Asian counterparts would.

If you are a Korean looking to get a rhinoplasty to either enhance your appearance or correct a health defect e.g. a deviated septum, you will delight in the fact that Korea is one of the most popular destinations for plastic surgery in Asia.

You can find a Korean nose job surgeon by searching on Google. Another useful resource I came across is whatclinic.com. There is a page there listing a number of plastic surgeons offering nose surgery in Korea.

Korean Nose Surgery Before And After

It is said that a picture is equal in worth to a thousand words. The talk about Korean nose surgery is hardly complete without having some pictures for illustration purposes. On that note, here is a Korean nose surgery before and after picture.

Nose Job Recovery

How long does it take

During a nose job surgery (rhinoplasty), the surgeon separates the skin on the nose to access the bones and cartilage that typically supports the nose. The surgeon then sculpts them to the desired shape and because the incisions are normally made on the inside of the nose, there are rarely any visible incisions or scars during the recovery phase.

Although is an out-patient procedure, it is normal for the surgeon to require you to stay at the facility after the surgery for a night after which you will be able to leave home. For minor revision rhinoplasty surgeries that are aimed at making only small corrections to a patient who has undergone previous nose plastic surgeries, it may be possible to be allowed to go home right away after the surgery.

You will however have to contend with splints and bandages during the recovery phase. A splint is normally placed on the nose to support it while it recovers from the surgery. It is as well common to have some nasal packing for a few days (usually 2 days) to provide extra support to the nose during recovery.

You may as well be asked to keep your head relatively still and raised for a number of days. Full nose job recovery as to be able to resume your normal work and assume strenuous activities may take you three weeks.

It is normal for your face to feel puffy during recovery especially in the area surrounding the eyes. Being a surgery, it is to be expected that someone feels some pain but a significant number of patients reports that the pain is bearable.

After all, pain may be the last of your concern if your natural nose shape makes you self-conscious and have low self-esteem or if it make breathing difficult.

Your face is also very likely to get be bruised and swollen for a number of days (often 3 weeks or so) but cold compresses often help to reduce the swelling and pain. Pain relievers are also typically administered during the nose job recovery phase.

It is also normal to bleed during the early stages of the recovery phase and you will be required not to blow your nose for a week or so to allow the nasal tissues time to heal. It is also recommended that you stay away from any contact sport for at least 2 months.

Post-operative visits to your surgeon are a usual part of the nose job healing process. This allows the surgeon to monitor your progress and detect any problem that may possible arise early on.

How Long Is a Nose Job Recovery or How Long Is Nose  Surgery Job Recovery

Recovery pictures

Reading around in one of my favorite online forums, I came across the question, “How long is a nose job recovery?” The recovery phase varies from one patient to another but it is a realistic expectation that EVERY patient will be able to resume their normal activities (including work) in 2 weeks. However, stay away from any contact sporting activity for at least a couple months.

Nose Job Recovery Pictures

And here comes our favorite section. You have very likely noted our liking for pictures and there is a good reason for that; one wise man equated a picture to a thousand words and we can’t agree more. On that note here are a few nose job recovery pictures to inspire your imaginations.

Nose Job Recovery Time- Recovery Time

Before we look at nose surgery or job recovery time in more details, let us start by reiterating here that all patients have different healing and recovery rates. the majority of patients are up and about in just 2 days after surgery and are able to resume work in just a week.

Rhinoplasty wound care

Most surgeons will however require you to take a couple weeks off from work in order to give your body enough time to heal and regenerate.

The recovery time can be summarized as follows:

• First few (say 2) days: Bleeding
• First 2 days after surgery: face feels puffy and nose aches. Nasal packing removed
• 1 week: Splints removed
• 3 weeks: bruising and swelling in the area around your eyes
• First 1 month: Avoid strenuous activities
• First 2 months: Avoid contact sporting activities

NB: It is important to note that although patient recovers from obvious signs of a nose job such as bruising and swelling in not more than 3 weeks, the nose may take as long as 1 year before all the swelling has settled down.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, Dr. David  Roberts points out that the nose may like their nose more when it is still swollen only to dislike it after the swelling has fully receded. It is therefore important to be realistic with your expectations and realize that your nose’s appearance will continue to improve with time.

It is as well important to wait at least 1 year before undergoing a revision rhinoplasty. As a matter of fact, most plastic surgeons will not perform a revision nose job to patient before 1 year has elapsed since s/he had the first surgery.

Nose Jobs Gone Wrong

Carmen Camposantos

You might have heard the phrase, “...Rhinoplasty is an easy operation to do; it’s just hard to get good results”. Stories of nose jobs gone wrong are all over the internet and some people have spent a fortune trying to get that perfect nose. There are even stories of patients who have undergone as much as 7 rhinoplasty surgeries.

Unfortunately surgeries on nose often go wrong for unpredictable factors such as poor skin, bad genes and weak cartilage and even the most skilled surgeons cannot always guarantee good results.

Nose jobs gone wrong can lead to undesirable results that are as small as a small bump or depression on the nose or as large as a major deformity that seems desperate for attention. In some cases, the nose may outrightly betray you by looking out of sync with other facial features. Asymmetry is also a common characteristic of bad nose surgery or jobs.

A rhinoplasty gone wrong can make the patient lose his self-esteem and self-confidence more so if the first job was surgery was intended to correct an undesired aspect of the nose. In some cases, the patient suffer from difficulty in breathing (i.e. nasal congestion) due to a deviation in the structure of the nose e.g. deviated septum that blocks one side of the nostril.

A good example of a nose job gone wrong was that of a 26 year old rugby player who had suffered a nose injury during a scrum and consequently couldn’t breathe with one of his nostrils. The man sought for a nose surgery to restore the breathing function of his nose.

Unfortunately, the surgeon removed too much tissue (and cartilage) from his Nose Bridge and nasal tip resulting in what is commonly referred to as a “Barbie” nose. The nose didn’t fit in well with his face.

This affected his self-image and self-confidence so much that he couldn’t leave his house for a whole year. The guy eventually sought a second rhinoplasty surgery and his nose was successfully restructured.

Age is the first factor to consider when deciding whether you should get a nose surgery or job.  Although the results typically permanent, injuries in the future as well as natural growth can alter the appearance. On that note, a nose surgery or job should be done only after the nose has fully developed. This typically takes place between the age of 15 and 16 years in females and 17 and 18 in males.

Although nose surgery or job is most often performed as an out-patient procedure which means that a patient can walk home on the same day, you may be required to stay at the clinic for one night after the surgery depending on your surgeon.

A splint is typically placed over your nose after the surgery to aid with the healing process and some surgical packing may be placed inside the nostril to support it while the wound heals. The surgical packing is usually removed after 2 days while the splint (and bandages) may be left on for 1 week or so.
