Scarless Rhinoplasty
What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that improves the size, shape, and proportions of the nose. It can:
- Reduce or augment the nasal bridge or tip
- Refine nostril width or nasal angle
- Eliminate a dorsal hump
- Improve overall facial harmony
At Mittelman Plastic Surgery, we specialize in the scarless endonasal (closed) rhinoplasty, which offers subtle yet effective results with minimal recovery time.
Why Choose Scarless Rhinoplasty?
The endonasal (scarless) approach avoids external incisions, offering several key advantages:
- Precise reshaping with no visible scars
- Less bruising and swelling
- Shorter recovery time
- More affordable than open rhinoplasty
- May return to work in less than two weeks
- $12,000 surgical fee vs $20-30k
