Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)

Surgical nose reshaping by fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. David Shokrian, with open and closed rhinoplasty techniques available. Open rhinoplasty uses a small columella incision for maximum visibility; closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scar. Procedures address the nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, and overall proportion. Surgery runs one to four hours and is performed at the JCAHO-accredited facility. Revision rhinoplasty cases are also accepted.

Rhinoplasty at Millennial Plastic Surgery is performed by Dr. David Shokrian, whose fellowship training in plastic surgery and burn reconstruction underpins a technically precise approach to nasal reshaping. The practice offers both open and closed rhinoplasty. In the open approach, a small transcolumellar incision is made across the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils, allowing the nasal skin to be retracted upward for direct visualization of the underlying cartilage framework — optimal for complex tip refinements, significant dorsal hump reduction, or revision cases where scar tissue from previous procedures must be navigated. The closed (endonasal) approach places all incisions inside the nostrils and leaves no external scar, making it suitable for patients with limited anatomical goals such as bridge narrowing or minor tip refinement without extensive cartilage repositioning. Common rhinoplasty objectives addressed include dorsal hump reduction, nasal tip refinement (defining a bulbous or drooping tip), narrowing of a wide nasal base or nostrils, correcting a deviated septum for functional breathing improvement alongside aesthetic changes, and deprojection or augmentation of the nasal bridge. Dr. Shokrian completed a Plastic Surgery Fellowship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a Burn Surgery Fellowship at the William Randolph Hearst Burn Center at Weill Cornell Medical Center, adding reconstructive complexity to his skill set. The clinic's JCAHO (Joint Commission) accreditation means the surgical facility meets nationally recognized patient safety and quality standards. Surgery typically runs one to four hours under general anesthesia. Swelling resolves progressively over twelve months, with the majority visible by six weeks. Pricing ranges from $2,500 to $15,000+ depending on the complexity of the case, and financing is available through third-party providers.
