Rhinoplasty Overview
Facial harmony describes facial features that are in balance and complement one another. Nasal surgery or rhinoplasty is one of the most common procedures to achieve facial harmony, and when approached with a personalized vision and current techniques, rhinoplasty offers highly satisfying results.

- Nasal procedures are designed to change the shape and appearance of your nose, complementing the aesthetics of your face.
- Whether you are unhappy with the proportion, angle, tip or other specific features of your nose, or you have experienced changes due to injuries, nasal surgery can address what you wish to improve and allow you to put a naturally beautiful, proportionate face forward.
- Our 3D imaging and simulation also provides an excellent education tool allowing the patient to visually express their goals for surgery.

What is the cost of rhinoplasty?
The total cost for the procedure (which includes the cosmetic surgeon, the anesthesiologist and the operating room) ranges from $5000-$9000 depending on the complexity of the rhinoplasty procedure.
How is Dr. Ditesheim's approach different?
"The entire staff is kind and caring which is so warm. Dr. D (Ditesheim) is a good listener and I got exactly what I wanted. I don't shy away from the mirror anymore."

This is why it is important to discuss your goals for nasal revision with Dr. Ditesheim in order to create a cosmetic surgery solution for your specific needs.
