Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job or nose surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to rebalance the proportions of the nose, enhance facial harmony, and correct breathing issues associated with structural irregularities such as a deviated septum or nasal valve collapse. Dr. Patt approaches rhinoplasty as both an art and a science, reshaping cartilage, bone, and soft tissue while preserving or enhancing nasal function.
Dr. Patt understands that patients want natural proportions, not a “cookie-cutter” nose. As such, every rhinoplasty Dr. Patt performs is fully customized, taking into account factors such as your nasal anatomy, skin thickness, ethnic background, airway needs, and desired aesthetic outcome.
Rhinoplasty patients typically share these common concerns:
Ideal nose job candidates are in good overall health, nonsmokers (or willing to stop for the procedure), and able to take up to 2 weeks off work for recovery. During your private consultation, Dr. Patt will review your nasal structure, breathing function, skin thickness, and aesthetic goals to determine which rhinoplasty approach aligns with your needs.
Because no two noses—or patients—are alike, Dr. Bradford Patt takes a personalized approach to every rhinoplasty procedure. Whether you’re seeking subtle refinement or complex reconstruction, he tailors each surgery to achieve natural, balanced results that complement your unique features.
Dr. Patt’s advanced rhinoplasty techniques include:
This approach primarily focuses on enhancing nasal breathing and improving airway function. It often includes septoplasty, turbinate reduction, or internal structural support work (e.g. spreader grafts) to correct deviations or collapse. Many patients undergo functional rhinoplasty when medical and aesthetic goals overlap.
Cosmetic rhinoplasty addresses the external shape of your nose—refining the bridge, tip, nostrils, or overall proportions—while preserving airway integrity. This is often what patients refer to when they choose a “nose job.”
Ethnic rhinoplasty honors and enhances nasal features characteristic of diverse backgrounds while maintaining cultural identity. Dr. Patt is experienced in ethnic rhinoplasty for Houston’s diverse population, reshaping noses of all ethnicities, including Latino, African American, and Asian patients, with careful attention and respect for preserving your heritage and facial proportions.
Revision rhinoplasty (or secondary rhinoplasty) corrects or refines results from a previous nose surgery. Whether your concerns include asymmetry, breathing problems, or unwanted aesthetic changes, Dr. Patt’s dual training in cosmetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgery thoroughly prepared him for complex revision rhinoplasty cases.
For patients seeking minor refinements without surgery, nonsurgical liquid rhinoplasty uses dermal fillers to adjust small irregularities or camouflage subtle imperfections. This approach does not achieve structural changes and is a temporary alternative to surgical rhinoplasty.ng

Learn More About Dr. PattOn your surgery day, you’ll arrive at our QUAD A-accredited surgical facility, review your surgical plan with Dr. Patt, and undergo rhinoplasty under anesthesia.
Dr. Patt will use one of these surgical approaches:
Small incisions are made inside each nostril. This approach is often employed during rhinoplasty reconstruction. While this technique avoids an external scar, there is limited visibility and surgical access due to the narrow nasal opening.
A small incision is made externally on the columella (area between the nostrils), allowing for better visibility and access to the nasal framework. While an external incision is necessary, scars significantly fade over time.
The procedure typically lasts about 1 to 3 hours (depending on complexity), after which you’ll be monitored and released with protective dressings. Dr. Patt and our caring team provide ongoing support and are available to answer your postsurgical questions.

Explore Patient FinancingYes, rhinoplasty can be safely combined with other facial cosmetic procedures. Many patients choose to pair a nose job with chin augmentation, otoplasty, facelift surgery, or nonsurgical treatments to create overall facial balance.
Rhinoplasty is not a particularly painful procedure. You’ll be asleep under anesthesia, and postoperative discomfort is generally mild and well-managed with medications.
Visible scars shouldn’t be a concern after rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty leaves a small trans-columellar scar that typically fades well, while closed techniques leave no external scars.
Rhinoplasty should be performed only after facial growth is complete, which typically occurs between ages 15 and 17 for girls and 16 and 18 for boys. Adults of all ages who are in good overall health and have cosmetic or functional concerns can usually benefit from the procedure.
