Rhinoplasty (Nose Job Surgery)
Rhinoplasty is considered one of the most nuanced procedures in all of aesthetic surgery, requiring meticulous precision and an artist’s attention to detail. The goal is never to create the “best” nose — it’s to create the best nose for your face. Whether your concern is cosmetic, functional, or both, a well-planned rhinoplasty refines your nose so it harmonizes with your other features. Dr. Erez Dayan performs rhinoplasty at Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.
Few surgeons can match Dr. Erez Dayan’s depth in rhinoplasty specifically. He authored “Developing Consistency in Rhinoplasty,” published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery — the top-ranked plastic surgery journal in the world — and was invited to Chongqing, China as one of just three U.S. surgeons lecturing and performing live surgery at the Chinese Rhinoplasty Society. One of only a few surgeons in the nation to complete a dedicated aesthetic surgery fellowship after his plastic and reconstructive training, he learned advanced rhinoplasty from international experts and trained in the highest-volume centers in the world — not only in primary rhinoplasty but in complex secondary and tertiary nasal reconstruction. A board-certified surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Dayan completed the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program, serving as Chief Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital. Rhinoplasty is one of his nose plastic surgery procedures.
What Does Rhinoplasty Entail?
Before any rhinoplasty, Dr. Dayan completes a detailed aesthetic and functional nasal analysis, carefully assessing the nose from every orientation with your concerns in mind. The procedure is performed using either a closed or open approach, depending on the extent of the changes needed. In an open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made across the columella — the base of the nose between the nostrils — giving Dr. Dayan access to adjust the cartilage and bony framework. A closed rhinoplasty uses only incisions inside the nose and may offer a faster recovery for that reason. Using the ideal approach for your case, he reshapes the nasal structure and, where needed, improves your breathing.
Many patients don’t realize they had a deviated septum or airway restriction until after surgery, when they notice how much more easily they breathe. Throughout the procedure, Dr. Dayan takes meticulous care to preserve the uniqueness of your identity — your nose will simply fit your face better, directing attention to your eyes and smile.
“My goal is never a ‘perfect’ nose off a template — it’s the right nose for your face. The art is in refining it so it looks completely natural and still unmistakably you, while making sure you breathe better than before.” — Dr. Erez Dayan
What Are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty?
- Improved nasal symmetry and aesthetics
- Correction of structural breathing issues
- A nose in better proportion to the other features
- A more balanced, attractive profile
- Correction of concerns in the tip, dorsum, and nostrils
- A natural-looking outcome that preserves your identity
- Renewed personal confidence
Who Makes an Ideal Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty with Dr. Dayan generally share these traits:
- Unhappy with the appearance of the bridge, tip, or nostrils
- Bothered by a nose that protrudes or is disproportionately large
- Experiencing functional breathing problems
- In good emotional and physical health
- Free of significant medical conditions
- A non-smoker with realistic expectations
What Does Rhinoplasty Recovery Entail?
Everyone heals at a different rate, so Dr. Dayan sees his patients frequently throughout recovery to confirm their results are unfolding as they should. As with any surgery, some swelling and bruising are expected, and he uses the most advanced evidence-based techniques to minimize them along with any discomfort. Most patients need about two to three weeks to recover, and depending on the extent of the rhinoplasty, residual swelling can take six to twelve weeks to resolve as your final results gradually emerge. Dr. Dayan provides an aftercare plan tailored to your specific case.
What Are the Fees Involved With Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty can be performed for solely cosmetic purposes or for both structural and cosmetic reasons at once, and the nature of the procedure — along with any added injectables or facial implants — determines the cost. After a detailed, personalized consultation, Dr. Dayan’s patient coordinator provides a custom quote, and the office can assist with financing and, on a case-by-case basis, insurance for functional concerns.
Frequently Asked Questions About Rhinoplasty
What’s the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?
Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision across the columella for greater access to the cartilage and bone, while closed rhinoplasty uses only incisions inside the nose and may recover faster. Dr. Dayan selects the approach best suited to the changes you need.
Can rhinoplasty improve my breathing?
Yes. Rhinoplasty can correct structural issues such as a deviated septum or airway restriction, and many patients notice significantly easier breathing after surgery.
Will my nose still look like me?
Yes. Dr. Dayan takes meticulous care to preserve your identity, refining the nose so it fits your face naturally rather than replacing it with a generic shape.
How long is recovery after rhinoplasty?
Most patients recover in about two to three weeks, with residual swelling resolving over six to twelve weeks as the final result emerges. Dr. Dayan provides a tailored aftercare plan and frequent follow-up.
Will insurance cover my rhinoplasty?
Purely cosmetic rhinoplasty is generally not covered, but functional repairs such as correcting a breathing obstruction may be. The office can help review your coverage on a case-by-case basis.
Am I a good candidate?
Good candidates are healthy non-smokers bothered by the appearance or function of their nose, with realistic expectations. A nasal analysis with Dr. Dayan confirms whether rhinoplasty is right for you.
