What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, colloquially referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that corrects functional breathing concerns, such as a deviated septum, airway obstructions, or internal structural concerns. It is also used to address aesthetic concerns to enhance the appearance of the nose, balance facial proportions and improve harmony among the facial features.
As an expert in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Brys appreciates that even minor modifications to the nose can significantly impact your overall facial profile. She also recognizes that too many alterations can create an “overdone” look that isn’t pleasing or balanced. Dr. Brys is an expert in numerous approaches to cosmetic nose surgery, including primary rhinoplasty, teenage rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, female rhinoplasty, and male rhinoplasty.
After completing a physical examination, Dr. Brys will determine the appropriate approach for your rhinoplasty.
- Open Rhinoplasty. Small incisions are made in the columella, which is the strip of skin that separates the nostrils. All external incisions are well-concealed and will be nearly invisible when they heal. Open rhinoplasty is Dr. Brys’s typical approach.
- Closed Rhinoplasty. In this rhinoplasty technique, all incisions are made inside the nostrils and are not visible following the procedure. Dr. Brys will perform closed rhinoplasty in special cases if indicated.

Preparing for Your Rhinoplasty
Dr. Brys customizes rhinoplasty procedures to achieve optimal plastic surgery results for each patient, so all procedures will be unique. Here are some common steps to expect.
Schedule Your Consultation
It is important to select an experienced, board-certified, and well-regarded facial plastic surgeon. You may schedule consultations with a few plastic surgeons to ensure you find the most experienced provider for your unique needs. During your consultations, request to see before and after photos and read patient reviews to get an idea of the results your surgeon achieves.
Get Tested
During your consultation, Dr. Brys may advise you to have medical evaluations, blood work, or other tests to assess your overall health. At this time, she will also instruct you on how to proceed with your current medications, including blood-thinning medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements that may cause bleeding.
Quit Smoking/Vaping
Smoking can negatively impact your body’s ability to heal following surgery, including causing complications, delaying recovery, and affecting your results. If you currently smoke, vape, or use nicotine products, you should quit. For at least two weeks before surgery and until recovery is complete, avoid all nicotine products.
Eat Balanced Meals and Stay Hydrated
Avoid significant weight fluctuations by keeping to your consistent exercise regimen and balanced diet. Eat healthy, nutritious meals with plenty of protein as proper nutrition supports optimal recovery.
Prepare for Your Recovery
Take off plenty of time from work. Plan for a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for at least 24 hours after your procedure. Arrange a clean, comfortable place to recuperate. Purchase the supplies you’ll need and fill your pain medication prescriptions. Consider preparing and freezing meals for easy preparation or arrange for a delivery service.

Candidates are typically looking to correct functional concerns to improve breathing or address aesthetic concerns to enhance the appearance of the nose.

Rhinoplasty Procedure Overview
On the day of your nose job, you’ll meet with Dr. Brys and your anesthesiologist. Your anesthesiologist will always be a certified MD. Dr. Brys will review the details of your procedure and answer any final questions you may have.
Once you are safely sedated, Dr. Brys will begin your rhinoplasty as discussed during your consultation. Using the images we created for guidance, Dr. Brys will create the appropriate incisions to sculpt the underlying structures of the nose to improve its function or enhance its appearance.
Changes created during rhinoplasty may include:
- Increasing or decreasing the size of the nose
- Altering the shape of the nose
- Narrowing the nostrils
- Refining the nasal tip
- Smoothing bumps on the nasal bridge
After altering the nasal structures, Dr. Brys will re-drape the skin over the restructured nasal framework, close the incisions, and add splints and dressings to the nose. Depending on the extent of your procedural plan, rhinoplasty procedures typically take one to two hours.
Rhinoplasty Recovery and Healing
Following your rhinoplasty procedure, you may experience pressure or discomfort for up to a week to 10 days. You should expect bruising and initial swelling to take two to three weeks to resolve; however, residual swelling may last up to a year.
To minimize swelling and bruising, it’s important to keep your head elevated without bending, lifting, or engaging in strenuous activities during your initial recovery. Typically, Dr. Brys will remove splints or packing within a week. She will also provide thorough instructions for your optimal recovery.
Plan to take at least one to two weeks off from work. Generally, you can resume sedentary work in one to two weeks. If you have a physically demanding job, you may need a longer recovery time or request modified duties.
In two to four weeks following surgery, you should be able to resume most normal activities, including light workouts; however, continue avoiding strenuous exercises for three to four weeks. During your follow-up appointments, Dr. Brys will advise you as to when you may resume all activities.
How Soon Will I See My Parsippany, New Jersey Rhinoplasty Results?
Many factors determine the longevity of your rhinoplasty recovery. Your healing process will be determined by the extent of your rhinoplasty or other procedures performed simultaneously, your health, and your age.
Following your rhinoplasty, you will experience bruising and swelling in the upper face that may obscure results for a few weeks while it resolves. Residual swelling may take a year to resolve. During your consultation, Dr. Brys will discuss an estimate of your recovery time.
With thorough follow-up care, your rhinoplasty results will permanently enhance the appearance of your nose and balance your facial features. As your skin continues to age, Dr. Brys will recommend following a healthy skincare regimen or skin rejuvenation treatments and avoiding sun exposure to ensure long-lasting results.
How Much Does Rhinoplasty in New Jersey Cost?
Rhinoplasty procedures are highly customizable. As such, costs will vary by patient and depend on the extent of each procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Brys will determine the scope and cost of your New Jersey rhinoplasty.

Can My Rhinoplasty Be Paired with Other Procedures?
It’s common to have multiple procedures performed during one operation.

The decision to have multiple procedures concurrently often depends on the procedures you’ve chosen, the extent of the surgery, and your overall health and age.
Addressing facial proportions is a large part of rhinoplasty. Often, chin implants are necessary to perfect the patient’s profile.
Combining the right procedures can greatly enhance the results of another procedure, creating a balanced, more symmetrical, and proportional facial appearance.
