    I had a WONDERFUL experience with Dr. C and his team. I followed him on TikTok for maybe two years—just watching his techniques and getting an idea for his aesthetic.

    Are You a Good Candidate for a Rhinoplasty?

    Rhinoplasty may be right for you if…

    • You’re unhappy with the size, shape, or symmetry of your nose
    • You have breathing issues caused by structural concerns like a deviated septum
    • You’re done growing, and your face is fully developed
    • You’re in good overall health
    • You’re unhappy with the results of a previous nose surgery

    You may not be a good candidate if…

    • Your facial development is not yet complete
    • You have underlying health conditions that may affect healing

    Not sure if rhinoplasty is the right step for you? Dr. Dayan can assess your concerns and recommend the right approach.

    Finding the Right Rhinoplasty Approach for Your Goals

    The right rhinoplasty technique depends on your anatomy, your concerns, and your goals. Dr. Dayan will evaluate your features and recommend the best approach for the nose you want.

    Open Rhinoplasty

    Open rhinoplasty places a small incision across the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils), allowing the nasal skin to be gently lifted to precisely reshape the underlying structures.

    Closed Rhinoplasty

    Closed rhinoplasty is performed through incisions inside the nose, creating more subtle refinements without external scarring.

    Revision Rhinoplasty

    Revision rhinoplasty is used to correct or improve the results of a previous nose surgery, restoring both appearance and function.

    Septorhinoplasty

    Septorhinoplasty addresses both cosmetic concerns and breathing issues by correcting structural problems like a deviated septum.

    Ethnic Rhinoplasty

    Ethnic rhinoplasty enhances your nose while honoring your background, preserving the unique features that make your appearance your own.

    What to Expect From First Visit to Procedure Day

    Your Consultation:

    You’ll meet with Dr. Dayan to discuss your goals, evaluate your facial structure, and determine the best approach for your rhinoplasty.

    Procedure Day:

    • You’ll be placed under anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure

    • Dr. Dayan will carefully reshape the underlying bone and cartilage to refine your nose and improve balance

    • Incisions are placed either inside the nose (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (open rhinoplasty), depending on your treatment plan

    • Your procedure typically takes a few hours, and you’ll return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions 

    Healing and Results: What Comes Next

    Recovery is a step-by-step process, and we provide clear guidance at every stage so you know exactly what to expect as your nose heals.


    Dr. Dayan typically recommends following these aftercare guidelines:


    • Keep your head elevated, especially while sleeping, to reduce swelling

    • Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for several weeks

    • Avoid blowing your nose and limiting pressure on the area

    • Attending follow-up visits to monitor healing and remove any splints or sutures

    • Following all care instructions to support proper healing and the best outcome 


    Here's what you can expect as you recover:


    • First week: You'll have a splint in place and experience swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes

    • 7–10 days: Your splint is removed, and you'll start to see early changes in your nose shape

    • 2–3 weeks: Most visible bruising fades, and you can return to work and normal activities

    • 4–6 weeks: Swelling continues to improve, and you can gradually return to exercise

    • 3–6 months: Your nose refines further as swelling decreases, especially around the tip

    • 6–12 months: Your final results become more defined as your nose fully settles into its new shape


    You may experience some temporary side effects as your body heals, which typically improve over time:


    • Swelling and bruising

    • Mild discomfort or pressure

    • Temporary congestion or difficulty breathing through the nose

    • Numbness or changes in sensation

    What Patients Like You Want to Know

    The cost of your rhinoplasty depends on the complexity of your procedure and your personalized surgical plan. We'll provide a clear quote during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

    Insurance may cover part of your procedure if it's needed to correct breathing issues or a deviated septum. Cosmetic changes are typically not covered, but we're happy to help you explore your options.

    There are two main approaches, and your surgeon will recommend the best one for your goals:

    • Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision across the columella for full visibility of the nasal structure.
    • Closed rhinoplasty is performed entirely inside the nose for more subtle adjustments.

    Most patients return to work within 7–10 days once their splint is removed and initial swelling improves. You'll continue to heal over the following weeks as your results gradually refine.
