Advanced Artistry in Facial Aesthetics
Female rhinoplasty is a term used to describe a surgery to feminize the appearance of a female’s nose. The nose is the center of the face and it helps balance and harmonize a female’s face. A feminine nose allows your eyes, cheekbones and lips to be the focus of your face. The goal of the surgery is to improve your concerns about the size and shape of your nose, while preserving your femininity. Female rhinoplasty is often combined with functional nasal breathing surgery.

FAQS
The ideal Boston female rhinoplasty candidate has cosmetic and functional concerns about her nose. Your nose has to be fully developed before undergoing rhinoplasty surgery. The youngest patient Dr. Sanan operates on for rhinoplasty surgery is 16 years old. Operating on the nose at too young of age will result in an underdeveloped nose long term. Dr. Sanan will consult with you in person or virtually to assess your goals and candidacy for female rhinoplasty.
Dr. Sanan’s signature female rhinoplasty in Boston is performed under general anesthesia using Piezo Ultrasonic technology. Dr. Sanan performs open rhinoplasty, which requires a small incision in the columella. Piezo Ultrasonic technology is used to contour the nasal bones and bony hump. Dr. Sanan does not use traditional hammer and chisels, as used by other plastic surgeons, which cause tissue trauma and lead to excessive bruising and swelling.
Depending on your aesthetic goals, a female rhinoplasty alone may not give you the facial transformation you’re imaging and looking for. Dr. Sanan will perform a full facial analysis during your consultation and ask you to describe what your goals are. It is possible to pair other procedures with female rhinoplasty.
The nose and chin are closely intertwined when assessing facial harmony. A chin implant can be performed at the same time as your female rhinoplasty. Increasing chin projection, in patients who have a small or recessed chin, makes the nose appear less prominent.
Other combined surgeries include buccal fat pad reduction, blepharoplasty, chin and jawline liposuction, and deep neck lift. All of these procedures can be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Sanan.
Social downtime from rhinoplasty is two weeks. It is common to have under eye and cheek swelling and bruising. There is some discomfort and stuffines, which is treated with medication.
Through the unique and custom techniques Dr. Sanan employs during your surgery, many patients experience minimal to no bruising. During the recovery process, it is important for you to walk several times a day.
You will see Dr. Sanan one week after surgery to remove the nasal cast and stitches from your nose. Many patients return to work one week after surgery and some take the full two weeks. Patients are not allowed to lift any weight over 10 lbs until two weeks after surgery. Dr. Sanan will monitor your healing in post-operative appointments and advise when you can return to certain activity levels. While the majority of the recovery will happen in the first several months, it may take 12 to 18 months for residual swelling to disappear and for all tissues to fully heal. Every patient is unique: your specific recovery times for swelling, pain, appearance and function will be discussed during your consultation.
The cost of female rhinoplasty in Boston and Brookline, MA varies depending on the extent of your surgery. Complex surgeries and longer surgery times are associated with higher costs.
