Rhinoplasty is suitable for healthy individuals with realistic goals. It's best for those interested in improving their nasal appearance or function, and it's typically performed after the nose has finished growing, around age sixteen or older.
There are two main types: cosmetic rhinoplasty, which reshapes the nose for aesthetic purposes, and functional rhinoplasty, which addresses internal issues to improve breathing and overall nasal function.
Dr. Batniji is a top rhinoplasty specialist with dual board certifications in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Known for creating natural and harmonious results, he is also recognized for his expertise in ethnic rhinoplasty.
He is affiliated with multiple accredited surgery centers and hospitals in Southern California, offering patients several convenient options for where their procedure can be performed.
Dr. Batniji commonly performs rhinoplasty with either local anesthesia and sedation or with general anesthesia.
The surgery may use a closed technique (incisions inside the nose) or an open technique (additional incision between the nostrils).
Dr. Batniji will reshape the bone and cartilage and may address functional issues like a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates, with the procedure typically lasting one to two hours.
Dr. Batniji takes measures before and during surgery to reduce bleeding, enhancing recovery comfort for rhinoplasty patients. Swelling and bruising are common, with most swelling resolving within two weeks, although full refinement can take up to a year.
Patients can usually resume work and light activities within a week. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for several weeks to months as part of the long-term recovery process.
For those unable or unwilling to undergo surgery, a liquid nose job offers a non-surgical alternative to rhinoplasty. It involves using hyaluronic acid injections to enhance the nose’s shape.
This minimally invasive procedure has a short recovery period, with most patients resuming normal activities within hours and experiencing minimal bruising.
While they provide flexibility in terms of adjusting results, liquid nose jobs are not ideal for long-term or drastic changes compared to traditional rhinoplasty, which offers more customization and lasting outcomes.
Rhinoplasty (also referred to as a nose job) is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose. The surgery commonly addresses such issues as a nasal bump or hump, an unrefined nasal tip, a crooked or large appearance, wide nostrils, and/or nasal obstruction.
Many patients also consult with Dr. Batniji for revision rhinoplasty to correct problems resulting from a previous rhinoplasty surgery performed by another surgeon. Dr. Batniji is highly skilled in various nose job techniques, including dorsal hump reduction and preventing an open roof deformity from occurring.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Nose Job?
Rhinoplasty is appropriate for healthy men and women who have reasonable expectations for improving their nasal appearance and/or function. When it comes to younger patients, the surgery is best performed only after the nose has completed its growth, which may be around the age of sixteen or later.
There are two main variations of rhinoplasty, and each comes with different benefits. The most common is cosmetic rhinoplasty, which reshapes the external appearance of the nose using anything from minor adjustments to a full restructuring.
Cosmetic rhinoplasty entails reshaping the nose to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The operation can make the nose smaller or larger based on a patient's desired outcome. It can also do wonders to correct bumps, reshape the tip of the nose, and adjust many other nasal characteristics.
Functional rhinoplasty is aimed at the internal passageways of the nose. People who are in need of functional rhinoplasty may be suffering from discomfort due to features they were born with or due to injuries that changed the way the inside of their nose looks, feels, and functions. Functional rhinoplasty also works on the exterior to help improve breathing and achieve a more uniform look, but it primarily focuses on the overall function of the nose.

What Type of Anesthesia Is Used?
Dr. Batniji commonly performs rhinoplasty with either local anesthesia and sedation or with general anesthesia. These options ensure that patients feel no pain during their procedure. You and Dr. Batniji will discuss your anesthesia options during your personalized consultation.
What Happens During the Rhinoplasty Procedure?
Depending on the work to be done, your rhinoplasty procedure in Beverly Hills or Newport Beach may utilize a closed technique or an open technique. The incisions for closed rhinoplasty are made entirely on the inside of the nose, whereas open rhinoplasty requires an additional small incision made on the underside of the nose, on the skin between the nostrils.
Once the incisions are made, Dr. Batniji will separate the nasal skin from the underlying framework of bone and cartilage and then sculpt the bone, soft tissue, and/or cartilage into a new shape.
Dr. Batniji focuses not only on the appearance of the nose but the function as well, and, if necessary, he will also correct any nasal obstructions during surgery. For instance, rhinoplasty surgery may also involve the correction of a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates.
Surgical times generally range from one to two hours, though more complicated procedures may take longer.
How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost?
The average cost of rhinoplasty varies significantly based on factors such as location, surgeon’s experience, procedure complexity, anesthesia type, and facility fees.
In locations like Newport Beach or Beverly Hills, rhinoplasty costs can range from $7,000 to as much as $80,000.
At Batniji Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Batniji offers rhinoplasty procedures roughly priced between $15,000 and $50,000, emphasizing a personalized approach and specialized care.
While cost is a key factor, choosing an experienced and reputable surgeon is crucial for achieving the best outcome. With over 20 years of experience and state-of-the-art facilities, Dr. Batniji ensures customized results and focuses on patient satisfaction.
What Are the Potential Risks?
Rhinoplasty is a tricky procedure that requires unwavering precision, and the associated risks should be considered before the date of your surgery.
Rhinoplasty comes with a handful of potential risks. Note that the vast majority of rhinoplasty patients come out happy and healthy by the end of recovery.
Potential nasal surgery risks include a hole in the septum, a nasal obstruction, and scarring on the outside of the nose. Additionally, it's possible that a patient may not like the end results after they've fully healed.
It’s possible to experience bleeding, a negative reaction to anesthesia, or infection. Less common risks include permanent numbness, an uneven structure, and difficulty breathing.
Every patient's experience will be different, and the potential for complications varies based on the surgeon you decide to work with. The best way to prevent these risks is to vet your surgeon's past work to ensure they’re qualified for the job.
Are There Any Alternatives to Rhinoplasty?
If you talk to your surgeon about potential rhinoplasty alternatives, they might direct you toward what's called a liquid nose job. This minimally invasive procedure consists of injections of a hyaluronic acid dermal filler, which can fill, narrow, or even out different parts of the nose, providing overall enhancement.
One of the biggest benefits of this alternative is that it comes with an extremely short recovery period. Patients may experience minor bruising, but this usually quickly fades away. Most people are back to their normal activities just hours after their procedure.
Another aspect of filler injections is that the results can be easily changed if the patient isn’t satisfied with the outcome. All the surgeon has to do is dissolve the existing injections and then perform the procedure again to achieve a better outcome.
Many people consider this approach to be revolutionary in comparison to traditional rhinoplasty, but it isn’t the best option if you’re looking for long-term results or a drastic change in your appearance.
Are You a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Due to factors like existing health concerns or the anxiety associated with going through with surgery, a surgical procedure isn't an option for everyone. Some people would love to change the way their nose looks, but they'd rather stay away from the operating table.
These people are excellent candidates for a liquid nose job. Liquid rhinoplasty is the perfect less permanent solution for people who aren't keen on making massive commitments. The majority of people are suitable candidates, since the procedure is only minimally invasive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rhinoplasty FAQs
There are a few necessary steps that patients need to take to prepare for their rhinoplasty procedure, and Dr. Batniji will ensure that you're well educated about the surgery before it happens. On the day of your rhinoplasty surgery, you can expect to fill out the necessary medical information forms.
It's vital to have a friend or family member who can drive you home from your appointment, since you won't be in any state to operate motor vehicles or heavy machinery immediately after your operation. Our office is happy to arrange for transportation if needed.
Aside from the medical forms, it's common to sign another form that states you understand the potential risks associated with the procedure, regardless of how minimal they may be. It's also essential to learn about rhinoplasty cost so the full scope of financial requirements associated with the operation is understood. Once you're gowned up for surgery, you'll have a final discussion with Dr. Batniji.
When rhinoplasty results don't look the way the patient was expecting, this can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. Patients may also experience functional nasal issues due to problems with their procedure.
If you're unhappy with rhinoplasty results from another surgeon, come to Dr. Batniji for revision rhinoplasty. Also called secondary rhinoplasty, this complex procedure involves correction of past nasal surgery results.
Dr. Batniji provides an extensive skill set that every patient can benefit from. If you need revision rhinoplasty, you're in good hands.
In rhinoplasty, grafts are small implants that are typically made of cartilage harvested from a patient's ear, nasal septum, or rib. These grafts are carefully shaped based on their intended use.
Grafts are sewn into the nose's internal architecture, bolstering weakened areas and improving the structure as needed. A number of grafts are available, including spreader grafts, butterfly grafts, and alar batten grafts.
