Your nose plays a central role in facial harmony, making its proportions especially important. Even subtle adjustments to its shape—such as correcting minor asymmetry—can dramatically influence your overall appearance.

At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, we understand that nose reshaping isn’t just about your nose, but about balancing all of your features. Award-winning facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Pearlman, leads the leading facial plastic and plastic surgeons, and he’s here to answer your questions about nose reshaping in New York City.

Is nose reshaping cosmetic or functional?

Nose reshaping can be cosmetic, functional, or both. Rhinoplasty, otherwise known as a nose job, is a cosmetic nose reshaping surgery that addresses concerns like nasal humps, wide or droopy tips, and asymmetry. A septoplasty addresses functional issues, such as a deviated septum, to improve breathing.

For individuals looking to address cosmetic and functional concerns simultaneously, we may recommend a “septorhinoplasty,” which combines these procedures. Dr. Pearlman will evaluate your nose during your consultation to determine the appropriate surgery for you.

Setting Expectations for Your Nose Reduction in New York City

Are there different kinds of “nose jobs”?

Yes. We specialize in a range of nose procedures, including:

Dr. Pearlman also specializes in mini rhinoplasty in Manhattan, focusing solely on reshaping the tip or reducing a small hump on the nose through less invasive techniques.

Is there a non-surgical option for nose reshaping?

Yes, but there is no true replacement for surgery. Dr. Pearlman may recommend a “non-surgical nose job,” which consists of strategic dermal filler injections, to correct minor bumps. However, surgery is the only solution for functional concerns and dramatic nose reshaping in NYC.

How much does nose reshaping cost?

Many variables determine your nose correction cost, including the kind of procedure and the surgeon you choose. Remember, you’re not just paying for the time they spend in the operating room, but the decades it took them to master their craft.
