Your nose is a defining feature of your face, and its appearance can significantly impact your self-confidence. If you’re unhappy with the shape or size of your nose or wish to improve your breathing, Dr. Farzin Kerendian, DO, FACOS, FAACS, a highly skilled cosmetic surgeon, can transform your nose with rhinoplasty at Desired Beauty.
Understanding Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a cosmetic surgery that can reshape and resize your nose. Whether you seek a change in your nose’s aesthetics or require functional improvements in breathing, Dr. Kerendian will work closely with you to define your goals and tailor a personalized rhinoplasty plan to meet your unique needs.
At Desired Beauty, we also offer nonsurgical rhinoplasty options. We understand that the idea of surgery can be daunting, particularly for such a prominent facial feature. Our nonsurgical rhinoplasty, which involves injectable dermal fillers, can enhance your nose’s contours and symmetry without incisions or lengthy recovery periods. The results are temporary, lasting from six months to a year, making it an excellent option for those considering a future surgical rhinoplasty.
Achieving Your Desired Nose Shape
While surgical rhinoplasty yields more dramatic and permanent results, both surgical and nonsurgical options can address various concerns related to your nose’s appearance. Dr. Kerendian can help you correct issues such as:
- Nasal bumps
- Indentations
- Flat nasal bridge
- Saddle nose
- Crookedness
- Bulbous tip
- Over-protruding tip
- Asymmetry
Additionally, rhinoplasty can address internal structural problems like a deviated septum, improving breathing and overall nasal function. Dr. Kerendian’s expertise allows him to reposition or modify nasal bones, cartilage, and skin to achieve your desired outcome.
Preparing for Your Rhinoplasty
Before your rhinoplasty procedure, Dr. Kerendian will engage in a thorough discussion to understand your goals and expectations. He may use computer software to manipulate photographs of your nose from different angles, helping you visualize potential results.
Once your customized plan is in place, Dr. Kerendian will provide pre-operative instructions. For surgical rhinoplasty, you should:
- Arrange transportation to and from the surgical facility
- Have a friend or family member available to assist you during the initial recovery phase
- Cease smoking
- Discontinue the use of aspirin, ibuprofen, and herbal supplements
If you have any questions about the surgical techniques or recovery process, don’t hesitate to ask Dr. Kerendian during your consultations.

Rhinoplasty Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is rhinoplasty, and what does it involve?
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that aims to reshape and/or resize the nose. It can be done for both cosmetic and functional reasons. During the surgery, the surgeon may make incisions inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils) and inside the nostrils (open rhinoplasty) to access and modify the nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissues.
2. What can rhinoplasty address?
Rhinoplasty can address a variety of aesthetic and functional concerns, including:
- Nasal humps or bumps
- Crooked or asymmetrical noses
- Wide or flaring nostrils
- A bulbous or drooping nasal tip
- Breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum or other structural issues
- Post-traumatic deformities
3. How long is the recovery period after rhinoplasty?
The initial recovery period typically lasts about 1-2 weeks. During this time, you may experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort. Most patients can return to work or school within 1-2 weeks, but it may take several months for all swelling to fully subside, and the final results to become apparent.
4. Are there any risks or potential complications associated with rhinoplasty?
It’s essential to choose a board-certified cosmetic surgeon with extensive experience to minimize the risks involved with Rhinoplasty. Dr. Kerendian will discuss potential risks and complications with you during your consultation.
5. Can I choose the new shape of my nose?
Yes, you can discuss your desired nose shape and appearance with Dr. Kerendian during the consultation. Dr. Kerendian will work with you to understand your goals and assess the feasibility of achieving them while considering your facial features and structural limitations.
6. Will I have visible scars after rhinoplasty?
In most cases, the incisions made during rhinoplasty are hidden inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or are inconspicuous along the columella (open rhinoplasty). This minimizes visible scarring. Over time, any residual scarring tends to become less noticeable.
7. When can I resume physical activities after rhinoplasty?
You should avoid strenuous physical activities, including heavy lifting and vigorous exercise, for at least 4-6 weeks after rhinoplasty to allow for proper healing. Dr. Kerendian will provide specific guidelines based on your individual case.
8. How long does it take to see the final results of rhinoplasty?
While you’ll notice improvements in the appearance of your nose soon after the initial swelling subsides (usually within a few weeks), it may take several months to a year or more for the final results to become fully visible. The healing process varies from person to person.
9. How do I choose the right rhinoplasty surgeon?
Selecting the right surgeon is crucial. Look for a board-certified cosmetic surgeon with extensive experience in rhinoplasty. Ask to see before-and-after photos of previous patients, read reviews, and schedule consultations to discuss your goals and ensure a good rapport with your surgeon. It’s essential to choose someone like Dr. Kerendian who understands your vision and has a track record of achieving natural-looking results.
