Surgery: Rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Depending on your needs, Dr. Ponsky will use either an open or closed approach to reshape cartilage and bone.
Recovery:
• Splint worn for the first week
• Bruising fades within 7–10 days after surgery
• Return to non-strenuous activities after 2 weeks
• Full refinement visible within 6–12 months
Most patients describe the rhinoplasty recovery as more uncomfortable than painful, with breathing improving gradually as swelling and bruising resolves.




Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures
Open Rhinoplasty
Involves a small incision across the columella for maximum visibility and precision in complex reshaping of the nasal structures.
Closed Rhinoplasty
Uses incisions hidden inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars and allowing for quicker recovery in select cases.
Revision Rhinoplasty
A revision rhinoplasty corrects or refines results from a previous surgery, often improving both function and appearance.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
An ethnic rhinoplasty enhances nasal shape while respecting cultural identity and maintaining natural facial harmony.
Septorhinoplasty
Addresses structural issues like a deviated septum to improve airflow and breathing while refining appearance if desired.
Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty
Utilizes piezoelectric technology for highly precise nasal bone reshaping with less trauma, bruising, and downtime.
Tip Rhinoplasty
A tip rhinoplasty focuses on reshaping the nasal tip to refine its size, shape, or projection without altering the entire nose.
Liquid Rhinoplasty
A non-surgical nose job option using dermal fillers to temporarily smooth bumps, alter the shape, or enhance symmetry without downtime.

“I have loved my experience with Dr. Ponsky and her team and highly recommend her to anyone looking for injectables and/or facial plastic surgery. I had been interested in getting Rhinoplasty for a long time but hadn’t met a surgeon that I felt comfortable with to go through with it. When I had my consult with her I immediately knew I wanted to go through with it.
Her team and her made me feel so welcomed and comfortable and I knew Dr. Ponsky would give me what I was looking for (which was a smaller, more feminine nose that still looked natural and like me). That’s exactly what I got! The healing from my surgery was so easy, the downtime was very minimal, and I love how Dr. Ponsky has several follow up visits to ensure everything is healing it’s best. I’m a year post op now and I love my nose so much! I not only can breathe better now but am so much more confident and have overall loved my experience!”
