About Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) reshapes the nose to refine proportion, address concerns about nose size, shape, or symmetry, and improve overall facial balance. Dr. Khan performs cosmetic rhinoplasty for straightforward candidates, with a surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Surgical Approach
  • Open Rhinoplasty – Dr. Khan uses an external incision across the columella for direct visibility and precise refinement of the bridge, tip, and overall shape. The incision heals discreetly within the natural contour of the columella.
Cosmetic Enhancements:
  • Dorsal hump reduction for smoother profile
  • Nasal tip refinement and rotation
  • Alar reduction (nostril narrowing)
  • Bridge augmentation or reduction
  • Correction of nasal asymmetry
Septoplasty
  • Septoplasty – Straightens a deviated septum to improve airflow. Dr. Khan can perform septoplasty as a standalone procedure when that is the only nasal concern. For complex breathing or sinus issues, Dr. Khan refers patients to an ENT specialist.

During consultation, Dr. Khan evaluates your nasal anatomy and facial proportions to determine whether cosmetic rhinoplasty is appropriate for your goals.

Why Patients Choose Rhinoplasty

Patients commonly consider rhinoplasty to address concerns such as:

  • Improving facial balance and proportion with nose size or shape concerns
  • Enhancing confidence in profile and frontal facial appearance

Rhinoplasty FAQ

Dr. Khan focuses on straightforward cosmetic rhinoplasty cases for healthy adults with realistic expectations and specific aesthetic concerns about the bridge, tip, or proportion of the nose. Candidates with significant functional breathing issues, complex revision needs, or extensive ethnic restructuring are typically referred to an appropriate specialist. The best way to know if rhinoplasty is right for you is a personal consultation with Dr. Khan.
The open approach uses a small incision across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils, giving direct visibility of the underlying nasal structures. This allows precise refinement of the bridge, tip, and overall shape. The incision heals within the natural contour of the columella and fades over time.
Dr. Khan can perform septoplasty (straightening of the septum) as a standalone procedure for patients whose only concern is a deviated septum. For complex breathing issues, sinus problems, or functional rhinoplasty needs, Dr. Khan refers patients to a trusted ENT specialist for evaluation.
Cosmetic rhinoplasty pricing depends on the complexity of the procedure, facility and anesthesia fees, and your specific surgical plan. Empowered Plastic Surgery provides a complete fee quote during consultation that includes pre-surgical consultations, surgical facility fees, anesthesia services, surgical supplies, post-operative supplies, and follow-up appointments. Financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and PatientFi.
Recovery from rhinoplasty involves an initial period of swelling and bruising, with a nasal splint worn during the first stage of healing. Most patients return to normal daily activities once the splint is removed and visible bruising fades, though strenuous activity is restricted for longer. Subtle refinement of the final result continues as deeper swelling resolves over time. Dr. Khan provides a personalized recovery plan and direct access to her team throughout healing.
Dr. Khan does not market ethnic rhinoplasty as a specialty. Alar reduction (nostril narrowing) is available as a standard cosmetic refinement when appropriate. For revision rhinoplasty, Dr. Khan considers minor revision cases on a case-by-case basis. More extensive revision cases are referred elsewhere.
