About Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) reshapes the nose to improve facial balance, correct breathing issues, or address concerns about nose size, shape, or proportion. Dr. Khan specializes in both cosmetic and functional nasal surgery, creating results that look natural and complement your individual facial features.

Surgical Approaches:
  • Open Rhinoplasty – External incision allows maximum visibility for complex reshaping and structural work
  • Closed Rhinoplasty – Internal incisions only, ideal for refinement with faster recovery
  • Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty – Advanced piezo technology for precise bone work with reduced trauma
  • Revision Rhinoplasty – Corrective surgery for unsatisfactory results from previous procedures
Cosmetic Enhancements:
  • Dorsal hump reduction for smoother profile
  • Nasal tip refinement and rotation
  • Nostril reshaping and narrowing
  • Bridge augmentation or reduction
  • Correction of nasal asymmetry
Functional Improvements:
  • Septoplasty – Straightens deviated septum to improve breathing
  • Turbinate Reduction – Reduces enlarged nasal structures
  • Sinus Opening – Improves drainage and reduces congestion
  • Combined cosmetic and functional correction

Dr. Khan carefully evaluates your nasal anatomy, facial proportions, and breathing function to create a surgical plan that achieves your aesthetic goals while maintaining or improving nasal function.

Rhinoplasty FAQ

Rhinoplasty results evolve gradually over 12-18 months as swelling slowly subsides and tissues settle into their new position. Initial swelling reduces significantly within 2-3 weeks, allowing you to see the general shape and size changes. By 6 months, approximately 80-90% of swelling has resolved, revealing most of your final result. However, subtle refinement continues for up to 18 months, particularly in the nasal tip area, which holds swelling longer due to thicker skin. Factors affecting the healing timeline include skin thickness, surgical complexity, and individual healing characteristics. Dr. Khan provides detailed timeline expectations and uses techniques to minimize swelling. Most patients are thrilled with their appearance within 3-6 months, though the final, most refined result emerges over the full healing period.
Open rhinoplasty involves a small external incision across the columella (tissue between nostrils), providing complete visibility of nasal structures, while closed rhinoplasty uses only internal incisions with no external scarring. The open technique is preferred for complex cases that require significant reshaping, tip work, or revision surgery, as it allows for better visualization and more precise manipulation of cartilage and bone. Closed rhinoplasty is well-suited for minor refinements and offers a faster recovery with less swelling, but provides limited access for more complex changes. The external scar from open rhinoplasty typically heals very well and becomes nearly invisible within months. Dr. Khan selects the approach based on your specific anatomy and goals; simple cases may benefit from a closed technique, while more complex reshaping often requires open access for optimal results.
When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Khan, rhinoplasty should maintain or improve your breathing function. Many patients experience improved breathing after surgery when functional issues, such as a deviated septum, are corrected simultaneously. However, temporary breathing difficulties are normal during the initial recovery period due to swelling and internal healing. This typically resolves within 2-4 weeks as swelling subsides. Dr. Khan carefully evaluates your nasal airway during consultation and incorporates functional considerations into the surgical plan. If you have existing breathing problems, she may recommend combining cosmetic rhinoplasty with functional procedures, such as septoplasty or turbinate reduction. The goal is always to achieve your aesthetic desires while preserving or enhancing nasal function for long-term satisfaction and well-being.
Rhinoplasty surgery in the Sugar Land and greater Houston area typically ranges from $10,000 to $16,000, depending on surgical complexity, technique used, facility fees, and whether functional procedures are included. Primary rhinoplasty generally costs $10,000-$13,000, while revision rhinoplasty ranges $13,000-$16,000 due to increased complexity. Factors affecting price include the open versus closed technique, the extent of reshaping required, functional components such as septoplasty, and the surgeon's experience level. At Empowered Plastic Surgery, our comprehensive fee includes pre-surgical consultations, surgical facility fees, anesthesia services, all surgical supplies, post-operative care supplies, and follow-up appointments. We offer financing through CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and PatientFi with 0% interest options and payment plans up to 60 months to make your nose transformation affordable.
Rhinoplasty recovery follows a predictable timeline with specific milestones. Week 1: Nasal splint and possible internal packing, significant swelling and bruising, limited activity, and rest required. Week 2: Splint removal reveals initial results, with most bruising fading and a gradual return to light activities. Week 3-4: Most visible swelling subsides, return to work and social activities, still avoiding strenuous exercise. Weeks 6-8: Exercise clearance, most restrictions lifted, continued gradual improvement. Months 3-6: The Majority of swelling resolved, results becoming apparent, occasional minor swelling fluctuations are normal. Pain is typically mild and well-controlled with medication. Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks and feel comfortable socially within 2-3 weeks. Dr. Khan provides detailed recovery instructions, pain management protocols, and scheduled follow-ups to monitor healing progress.
Yes, rhinoplasty is frequently combined with other facial surgeries to achieve comprehensive facial enhancement and reduce overall recovery time. Popular combinations include chin augmentation to enhance facial balance, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, or facelift procedures for mature patients seeking a total facial transformation. Combining procedures offers advantages, including reduced overall costs compared to separate surgeries, single anesthesia and recovery period, and harmonious facial results achieved simultaneously. However, surgery time and complexity must be carefully managed for patient safety. Dr. Khan evaluates each case individually to determine safe combinations based on your health, goals, and surgical requirements. Some patients benefit from staging procedures if multiple areas need extensive work, while others achieve excellent results with carefully planned combination surgeries.
