Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)
If you are troubled by a nose that is crooked or out of balance with the rest of your face, you may want to consider rhinoplasty also called a nose job. Many people from Washington, DC; Chevy Chase and Bethesda, MD; Arlington and Fairfax, VA; and surrounding areas benefit from this nose-reshaping and often life-changing procedure. Our rhinoplasty specialists perform cosmetic nose surgery to change or improve the shape of the nose. It is also used in conjunction with a septoplasty or turbinate reduction procedure to correct nasal breathing problems. When this procedure addresses functional problems, your insurance may cover some of the costs.

Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
How Old Do You Have to Be for Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty can be done once nasal growth is complete. In girls, this usually occurs by age 13 and in boys, by age 16. It can be done at any age for deformities or issues that develop over time or result from injury.
How Much Does Rhinoplasty (a Nose Job) Cost in the Washington, DC, Metro Area?
All fees start at $10,000, depending on the complexity of the surgery. We will give you a specific price estimate after your personal consultation with one of our providers.
Why Choose CPS for Rhinoplasty?
Center for Plastic Surgery has developed a unique and in-depth facial consultation process called FACE360. Our rhinoplasty patients see a plastic surgeon, aesthetic nurse, and aesthetician during their initial consultation so our team can develop a comprehensive plan for achieving the best result for each patient. The initial consultation also includes computer imaging to show patients a simulation of possible results. After surgery, all of our patients are seen by their surgeons to assess the healing process, address concerns, and answer questions. No other practice in the area offers such a comprehensive and detailed program.
“I was always very insecure about my nose. I am now very happy with my appearance and have a confidence I didn’t have before.”

How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Incisions are made inside the nose and are closed with dissolving sutures. If the nostrils must be narrowed, there may be small incisions and removable sutures at the nostril rim. These sutures are taken out 5 days after surgery. A splint will be removed about one week after surgery.

How Long Does It Take To Recover From Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty patients typically return to work, school, and other everyday activities after 7 to 10 days. You may participate in non-contact exercise 2 weeks after surgery, but you should avoid contact athletics for 6 weeks.

How Long After Rhinoplasty Will I See My Results?
As most of the bruising and swelling fades over the first 10 to 14 days after surgery, the shape of the nose gradually improves. It typically takes 6 months to a year after rhinoplasty for the nose to be fully healed and reach its new, enhanced shape.
