Your nose is the central feature of your face—when it's in harmony with your other features, people see you, not your nose. I approach rhinoplasty with the same philosophy I bring to all my work: natural results that look like they were always meant to be.
Schedule Consultation View ResultsRhinoplasty—commonly called a "nose job"—is surgery to reshape the nose. It can address cosmetic concerns like a bump on the bridge, a wide or bulbous tip, asymmetry, or overall size. It can also correct structural problems that affect breathing.
The goal isn't to give you someone else's nose. It's to refine your nose so it complements your unique facial features. When done well, rhinoplasty creates balance—people notice you look better without knowing exactly why.
Whether your concerns are cosmetic, functional, or both, rhinoplasty offers meaningful improvement.
Bring your nose into harmony with your chin, cheeks, and forehead for a more proportionate appearance.
Correct a deviated septum or other structural issues that obstruct airflow and affect your quality of life.
When you're no longer self-conscious about your nose, you can focus on what matters—not on what you look like.
Every nose is different. Here are some of the most common issues patients ask me to correct.
I was so worried about looking 'done' but Dr. Neavin understood exactly what I wanted. My nose finally fits my face—and no one can tell I had anything done.
Rhinoplasty Patient
Both techniques can produce excellent results. The right choice depends on your anatomy and the changes we're making.
Incisions are hidden entirely inside the nostrils. This approach works well for straightforward refinements and typically has a slightly faster recovery.
A small incision across the columella (the skin between the nostrils) allows direct visualization of the nasal structures. Ideal for complex reshaping.
Recovery is more manageable than most patients expect. Here's what the typical timeline looks like.
Outpatient procedure, splint placed on nose
Bruising fades, initial shape visible
Most return to work, swelling subsiding
Subtle refinement continues over time
Good candidates are in overall good health, don't smoke (or are willing to quit), and have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve.
Your nose should be fully developed—typically age 15-16 for girls and 17-18 for boys. There's no upper age limit; I've performed rhinoplasty on patients well into their 60s.
The most important factor? Clear communication about what you want to change. Bring photos if it helps—I want to understand your vision before we discuss what's achievable.
Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals. We'll examine your nose, talk about what changes are realistic, and determine if rhinoplasty is right for you.
