Understanding Anatomy:
Achievable, natural-looking rhinoplasty results begin with a thorough understanding of nasal anatomy. The nose is a complex structure composed of bone, cartilage, and soft tissue, all working together to create its appearance and function. Expert rhinoplasty surgeons carefully evaluate the internal and external structure of the nose—including the nasal passages, septum, and nasal tip—to develop a personalized treatment plan for each patient. This detailed assessment allows plastic surgeons to address concerns such as a deviated septum, a prominent dorsal hump, or an underdefined nasal tip, ensuring that both form and function are optimized. By prioritizing a deep knowledge of nasal anatomy, facial plastic surgeons can craft a surgical plan that enhances the appearance of the nose while maintaining or improving breathing and overall nasal health. This foundation is essential for successful rhinoplasty procedures and long-lasting, harmonious results.
With our rhinoplasty, Houston patients receive a range of benefits beyond improving their appearance.
Enhancing facial harmony helps correct imbalances or asymmetry in the nose, contributing to a more balanced overall look. Beyond cosmetic changes, rhinoplasty can address structural issues such as a deviated septum, nasal obstruction, or a compromised nasal airway, helping patients with breathing difficulties. Correcting problems can also help reduce chronic issues. Separately, rhinoplasty can address specific concerns such as a drooping nasal tip or a crooked nose, improving both nasal function and appearance. The procedure often boosts self-confidence by aligning your nose with your other features and aesthetic preferences.
Ideal candidates are individuals seeking to improve nasal shape, symmetry, or function. This includes patients with aesthetic concerns, such as a dorsal hump, wide nostrils, or asymmetry, as well as those with functional issues, such as breathing difficulties or a deviated septum. During the consultation process, a thorough review of the patient’s medical history is conducted to ensure safety and determine suitability for surgery. Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and, for cosmetic reasons, have completed facial growth (typically late teens or older). Understanding patient desires is essential to tailor the procedure to individual goals and ensure outcomes that respect each patient’s unique identity. A personalized consultation at Origins Plastic Surgery ensures the procedure is tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals.
Sculpted Symmetry
Open rhinoplasty, which involves a small incision on the underside of the nose, provides rhinoplasty surgeons with enhanced visibility and access to the nasal structure, making it ideal for more complex reshaping.
Closed rhinoplasty, performed through internal incisions, is a less invasive option that minimizes visible scarring and is well-suited for subtle refinements.
For those seeking to correct or improve the results of a previous rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty offers a solution, though it requires the advanced skills of experienced plastic surgeons due to its complexity.
Ethnic rhinoplasty is tailored to preserve and enhance the distinctive features of patients from diverse backgrounds, while functional rhinoplasty focuses on correcting breathing difficulties and structural issues.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty with injectable fillers can provide temporary improvements for select candidates. By selecting the most appropriate rhinoplasty procedure, patients can achieve their desired facial harmony, improved nasal function, and natural-looking results.

The Results of Rhinoplasty: Lasting Transformation
After your rhinoplasty at Origins Plastic Surgery, you can expect gradual but noticeable improvements in the appearance of your nose. While some swelling and bruising are normal in the initial weeks, the final results will become more apparent as the healing process progresses. Most patients begin to see a significant transformation within a few weeks, with continued refinement over the following months. The procedure is designed to create enduring changes to the nasal structure, resulting in a more harmonious, balanced appearance.
A Breath of Fresh Air
Proper recovery and aftercare are crucial for optimal results. In the first few days, it’s common to experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Any internal bandages used must remain in place for 1 to 7 days, and a splint may be required for up to 3 weeks.2 Dr. Joshi will provide detailed instructions to help manage these symptoms and promote a smooth recovery process.
You may be advised to keep your head elevated, avoid strenuous activities, and follow a gentle skincare routine. It’s important to attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, and any sutures or dressings will be removed as needed. While visible improvements will be noticeable in the weeks following the surgery, complete resolution of swelling can take several months.
