Often referred to as a “nose job,” rhinoplasty is a procedure that helps you achieve facial harmony with the careful, surgical reshaping of the nose.
If you’ve been considering rhinoplasty but need a little more information, this quick read can fill you in on everything you need to know.
This extremely popular plastic surgery procedure addresses cosmetic issues with the nose, such as size, angle, and shape by modifying nasal bone and cartilage.
Aside from improving the appearance of your nose, rhinoplasty can correct congenital deformities and improve breathing as well.
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty in Sacramento are women over the age of 15 and men over the age of 16 who are serious about altering the appearance of their noses. Rhinoplasty is helpful for those who want to:
Many of the reasons for getting rhinoplasty are personal. A consultation is the first step toward determining if you’re a good candidate for rhinoplasty and how your expectations can be addressed.
During a rhinoplasty consultation, Dr. Kaniff will examine your nose, photograph it from various angles, and explain the procedure that will give you the best results. You’ll also see computer-generated images using your actual nose (modified) to help you visualize the potential results of your rhinoplasty.

There are different types of rhinoplasty, and each has its own benefits.
Closed rhinoplasty alters the nose through incisions hidden inside the nose. Once the procedure is complete, these incisions are closed up with dissolvable stitches.
Open rhinoplasty is performed through incisions both inside and outside the nose. The one external incision spans across the bridge of the nose between the nostrils. This process is particularly useful for revision rhinoplasty or the placement of cartilage grafts.
Tip rhinoplasty focuses solely on the lower third (or “tip”) of your nose. If you only want to reshape a wide, bulbous, or round nose tip, your plastic surgeon will likely recommend this procedure.
If you’ve previously had work done on your nose but don’t like the results or need corrective surgery, revision rhinoplasty is for you. This process is more complex due to existing scar tissue from the previous surgery.
Noninvasive rhinoplasty is a non-surgical solution to altering your nose’s appearance. This procedure sees dermal filler injections administered in areas to add volume and change shape.
Noninvasive rhinoplasty injections are temporary. The duration of your dermal filler results depends on the product used, but most tend to last up to a year.
