What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a nose job or nose reshaping surgery, is a procedure designed to adjust the size, shape, or internal structure of the nose. It can serve both cosmetic and functional purposes, addressing concerns related to breathing, past injury, or appearance.

As one of the most intricate procedures in facial plastic surgery, rhinoplasty requires a high level of technical precision and aesthetic judgment. Dr. David Kahng approaches every rhinoplasty in Las Vegas with a customized plan that enhances your features while maintaining natural facial balance.

What Concerns Can Rhinoplasty Address?

Rhinoplasty is versatile and can be personalized to address a wide range of issues, including:

A large or disproportionate nose
A prominent bump on the nasal bridge
A drooping, bulbous, or upturned nasal tip
Wide or flared nostrils
Crooked nasal alignment
Functional issues like deviated septum or breathing difficulty

During your consultation in Las Vegas, Dr. Kahng will assess your nasal structure and facial proportions to develop a surgical plan that aligns with both your aesthetic goals and functional needs.

Functional Rhinoplasty for Breathing Issues

If you're experiencing chronic nasal congestion, snoring, or airflow obstruction, functional rhinoplasty can help. Often caused by a deviated septum or narrow internal valves, these issues can be corrected through internal structural adjustments. Many patients choose to combine this functional correction with cosmetic reshaping for a comprehensive result.

Surgical Techniques: Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

Dr. Kahng uses both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques in Las Vegas, depending on the complexity of your case:

Closed Rhinoplasty

Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars. Best for minor reshaping or internal adjustments.

Open Rhinoplasty

A small incision is made at the base of the nose (columella) for full visibility of the nasal structure. Ideal for more complex revisions or detailed reshaping.

In either method, cartilage may be reshaped or reinforced with grafts to ensure a natural appearance and lasting support.

Ethnic and Asian Rhinoplasty in Las Vegas

Dr. Kahng is known for his expertise in ethnic rhinoplasty, with a nuanced understanding of Asian nasal anatomy and the unique aesthetic goals of diverse patients. He prioritizes subtle refinements that enhance the profile while maintaining cultural identity and facial harmony.

Common enhancements include:

Bridge augmentation using cartilage or implants
Tip projection and definition
Nostril narrowing or reshaping

All techniques are tailored to your background, anatomy, and personal preferences.

What to Expect During Recovery

Rhinoplasty recovery is typically manageable, especially with modern techniques and detailed aftercare. Most Las Vegas patients experience:

Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness during the first 5–7 days
Return to work or school within 7–10 days
Avoidance of glasses, heavy lifting, or nose pressure for several weeks
Gradual refinement over 6–12 months as residual swelling resolves

You’ll receive a detailed recovery guide, and our team will support you through each phase of healing.

Results You Can Expect

As swelling fades, your results will gradually emerge—revealing a nose that:

Looks more balanced and symmetrical
Aligns better with your facial profile
Functions more efficiently if breathing correction was included

Dr. Kahng’s goal is always to enhance your natural features—not erase them—leaving you with a look that feels authentically yours.

Rhinoplasty FAQ

Can rhinoplasty be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients combine rhinoplasty with chin augmentation, eyelid surgery, or non-surgical facial treatments for overall balance.

Is there a minimum age for rhinoplasty?

Typically, rhinoplasty is performed after facial growth is complete—usually age 16 or older. Patients must be physically healthy and emotionally ready for the procedure.

Can I wear glasses after surgery?

You’ll need to avoid resting glasses on the bridge of the nose during early healing. We can recommend tape support or alternative solutions during this time.
