Achieve a softer, more balanced facial appearance with female rhinoplasty at New York Group for Plastic Surgery. This procedure refines the shape, size, or symmetry of your nose while preserving natural beauty. Dr. Jordan M.S. Jacobs specializes in customized rhinoplasty solutions that cater to your unique features and aesthetic goals.
Achieve a Softer, More Feminine Nose Profile
Female rhinoplasty is a nose reshaping procedure that enhances feminine facial harmony and balance. It addresses aesthetic concerns such as a dorsal hump, wide nostrils, or a bulbous tip, while maintaining soft, balanced features. Many women seek a smaller, more refined nose with a subtle slope or an upturned tip. Beyond cosmetic goals, female rhinoplasty can also address functional issues like a deviated septum or breathing difficulties. At NYGPS, our approach is tailored to your unique anatomy, proportions, and preferences.
You May Consider Female Rhinoplasty If:
- You feel your nose is too large or too small for your face
- You have a noticeable dorsal hump or bump on the bridge
- You are unhappy with the width or flare of your nostrils
- You have a bulbous, drooping, or upturned nasal tip
- You want a more refined, feminine nasal profile
- You struggle with nasal asymmetry or imbalance
Your Female Rhinoplasty Options At NYGPS
At NYGPS, we offer advanced rhinoplasty techniques tailored to your needs, whether you’re seeking subtle refinement or a transformative change. Our surgeons take the time to evaluate your anatomy and goals to recommend the most appropriate approach for you.
Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive technique in which all incisions are made within the nostrils. Since there are no external cuts, this procedure leaves no visible scarring and generally results in a quicker recovery. Closed rhinoplasty is for patients who require minor adjustments, such as smoothing a small bump or refining nasal width. However, it offers limited visibility for the surgeon, making it best suited for more straightforward cosmetic corrections.
Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision along the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. This allows the surgeon to lift the skin and gain full access to the nasal structures for complex reshaping. Open rhinoplasty is recommended for patients needing significant changes, such as reshaping the nasal tip, correcting asymmetry, or reconstructing internal structures. The incision is carefully placed to ensure minimal visible scarring once healed.
Explore Your Options & Visualize the Results
During your one-on-one consultation, Dr. Jacobs will perform a thorough facial evaluation, focusing on your nasal structure, skin thickness, facial proportions, and any functional issues such as breathing difficulties. You’ll have an in-depth discussion about your aesthetic goals—whether you’re hoping for a slimmer bridge, a more refined tip, or subtle contouring to create balance. Dr. Jacobs will also review your medical history and any previous nasal surgeries.
To help you make informed decisions, we use the Vectra XT 3D imaging system. This creates ultra-high-resolution, three-dimensional images of your face, allowing you to preview potential surgical outcomes from multiple angles. Together, you and Dr. Jacobs will explore potential changes and co-create a surgical plan tailored to your preferences and anatomy.
Your Female Rhinoplasty Session
Your female rhinoplasty will be performed by Dr. Jacobs under general anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical center. Based on your surgical plan, Dr. Jacobs will determine whether to use the open or closed technique. In an open rhinoplasty, he makes a small incision across the columella, allowing the nasal skin to be gently lifted for full visibility. In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are placed inside the nostrils, suitable for more limited structural adjustments.
Dr. Jacobs will then reshape the nasal framework by trimming, repositioning, or adding cartilage—often harvested from your nasal septum, ear, or rib if needed. This can include refining a bulbous tip, straightening a deviated septum, reducing a dorsal hump, or narrowing the nasal bones. The procedure typically lasts 2 to 3 hours.
The Recovery Process After Female Rhinoplasty
After your rhinoplasty, you can expect some swelling, bruising around the eyes, nasal congestion, and mild discomfort for the first few days. Dr. Jacobs will place a splint on your nose to protect its new shape, and internal supports may be used depending on the extent of your surgery. Most patients can return to non-strenuous activities within 7 to 10 days.
To support proper healing, you should keep your head elevated, avoid blowing your nose, and refrain from intense physical activity for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Jacobs will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress. While early results become visible within weeks, final refinement can take a year as residual swelling subsides.
