A non-surgical nose job uses hyaluronic acid fillers to reshape the nose without surgery. Results last between 12-24 months, requiring regular touch-ups for maintenance. Non-surgical options are less invasive and more affordable, while surgical rhinoplasty offers permanent results. Both are available at Song Plastic Surgery.

Rhinoplasty isn't just for reshaping the nose—it can also correct functional issues like a deviated septum, internal or external valve collapse, and other blockages. Functional rhinoplasty not only improves breathing and airflow but can also enhance sleep, reduce snoring, and improve appearance.

Most patients can return to work about one week after rhinoplasty, especially if their job is not physically demanding. Those with strenuous jobs may need two weeks off. Social activities can typically resume within two to three weeks, and gym activities should be postponed for at least a month to ensure optimal healing.

Rhinoplasty surgery, also known as a nose job, averages $5,350 in the US, not including additional fees. Factors influencing the cost include surgeon experience, location, and procedure type. Avoid “discount” surgery and always choose a board-certified plastic surgeon for optimal safety and results.

Rhinoplasty can improve sinus health by correcting nasal structure issues that cause congestion, infections, and breathing problems.
