The Rhinoplasty Procedure Explained
More commonly known as a “nose job,” rhinoplasty is the medical term for elective nose surgery. While plastic surgeons sometimes perform primary rhinoplasty to improve breathing or structural issues, the procedure is typically performed to help patients achieve their ideal facial aesthetics and balance out the facial features. It is one of the most popular and effective plastic surgeries, yet few surgeons are truly skilled in performing this intricate cosmetic procedure.
Rhinoplasty in New Jersey can be tailored to many different needs, from cosmetic refinement to functional improvement. The Rhinoplasty Center offers a full range of nose surgery options, including:
- Primary rhinoplasty
- Revision rhinoplasty
- Ethnic rhinoplasty
- Functional rhinoplasty and septoplasty
Each procedure is customized to the patient’s anatomy and goals.
- Changing the shape of the nose and its size
- Smoothing a prominent nasal hump
- Altering the height of the bridge
- Refining the nasal tip
- Removing or altering bones and cartilage
- Adding nasal implants and grafts
- Straightening a deviated septum for better breathing
- Changing the appearance of a hooked nose
As one of the oldest facial plastic and reconstructive surgery procedures in the world, nose jobs have gone through many changes and have become a very technical procedure. Once patients have healed from their nose jobs, the results are permanent.

Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty Surgery

How a Surgical Rhinoplasty is Performed
Dr. Daniel Becker typically performs rhinoplasty under general anesthesia in an approved surgical facility, working with an experienced care team.
Before surgery
He meets with the patient to explain the procedure, review the planned changes, and mark the nose and face to guide the surgery. Patients are then placed in a comfortable, monitored sleep while Dr. Becker performs the procedure.
What Happens During the Procedure
Anesthesia and setup:
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, with continuous monitoring by the medical team.
Dr. Becker reviews the surgical plan and uses facial markings to guide the precise changes to the nose.Cartilage grafts when needed:
In revision rhinoplasty, nasal reconstruction, or cases requiring augmentation, Dr. Becker often uses cartilage grafts taken from the patient’s own ear or rib.
These grafts are harvested discreetly and do not affect the appearance or function of the donor area.
In rare cases, biocompatible, animal‑derived, or cadaver‑derived materials may be used when appropriate.
Open rhinoplasty technique:
During an open rhinoplasty, Dr. Becker makes a small incision between the nostrils to access the underlying bone and cartilage.
He reshapes the nasal structure by carefully adjusting the bone and cartilage and, when necessary, adds implants or grafts.
This approach allows for precise changes to the nasal shape and nostril structure while preserving function.
Closing and stabilization:
After reshaping the nose, Dr. Becker closes the incisions with sutures.
A nasal cast is typically placed to support and maintain the new shape during early healing.
Nasal packing may be used temporarily to control bleeding and stabilize the nasal passages.
After the Surgery
Once anesthesia is reversed and the patient is awake, they are monitored until it is safe to go home or to a recovery room. Dr. Becker and his team follow a meticulous, step‑by‑step approach—from graft harvesting and bone/cartilage resizing to sutures, cast placement, and close monitoring—to ensure each stage of rhinoplasty is performed with the highest standard of medical expertise and patient safety.

Risks and Side Effects of Rhinoplasty
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty can be unpredictable for a number of reasons. The patient may have been injured while healing, developed an infection or visible scarring, or might have been dissatisfied with the results due to limitations of the anatomy. Aesthetic medicine is not a perfect science, but every precaution is taken during the consultation, surgical plan, and execution of the procedure to prevent adverse results.
Prescription medications will also help prevent infection and excessive swelling, which can impact the final look of the nose. Although rare when the procedure is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Daniel Becker, the following complications have been associated with this plastic surgery procedure:
| Complication | Description | Prevention and Management |
|---|---|---|
| Bleeding | Postoperative bleeding can occur, requiring careful monitoring and management. | Avoid blood-thinning medications pre-surgery, closely monitor post-surgery. |
| Infection | Risk of infection at the incision site, possibly needing antibiotic treatment. | Maintain sterile techniques during surgery, ensure proper wound care, use antibiotics if necessary. |
| Breathing Difficulties | Difficulty in breathing post-surgery due to changes in nasal structure. | Plan surgeries carefully to maintain functional airways, address any issues promptly post-surgery. |
Sometimes while healing, patients may feel concerned about the appearance of their nose. This is normal because the nose takes a long time to heal from facial plastic surgery. Nasal bones may have been broken, cartilage could have been added or removed, and significant swelling may be present. Patients are encouraged to call our New Jersey office as needed to help them feel comfortable during their recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Nose Surgery
Are artificial implants used during rhinoplasty
Some plastic surgeons perform rhinoplasty procedures using biocompatible material like Gore-Tex implants, but Dr. Daniel Becker is not a proponent of this method. Gore-Tex nose jobs are more likely to become infected, and they can result in an unnatural aesthetic if the implant shifts.
How much does rhinoplasty cost?
Average rhinoplasty cost ranges between $5,000 to $7,000. The cost of rhinoplasty can vary based on the doctor’s expertise, the area of the country, and the nature of the case. Primary Rhinoplasty patients may be eligible for financing plans through Dr. Daniel Becker’s practices, or insurance may cover a portion of the cost for some subsequent or functional surgeries.
What is a tip plasty?
A nasal tip plasty is the term used for a traditional rhinoplasty surgery that focuses on improving just the tip of the nose. In some procedures, this can be performed as a liquid rhinoplasty (or non-surgical rhinoplasty), where a dermal filler is injected into the tip of the nose. However, a long-term solution is to undergo surgery. Most nasal tip plasty surgeries are faster and less invasive than full rhinoplasty.
How long does rhinoplasty surgery take?
Rhinoplasty surgery typically takes between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether it’s a primary or revision surgery.
What is an ethnic rhinoplasty?
Non-Caucasian individuals tend to have a facial anatomy specific to their ethnicity. Dr. Daniel Becker must consider the nasal anatomy of the individual in order to achieve the patient’s desired results. He may recommend a different type of approach (Asian rhinoplasty, African American rhinoplasty). Additionally, Dr. Daniel Becker is careful to retain certain characteristics of the nose that reflect their ethnic heritage.
