Rhinoplasty

La Peer Health Systems performs rhinoplasty (nose surgery) through its Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery department at its Beverly Hills ambulatory surgical center. Board-certified surgeons perform both cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty, including septoplasty for deviated septum correction, using open or closed technique depending on case complexity. The AAAHC-accredited facility on Wilshire Boulevard serves patients from West Hollywood and greater Los Angeles seeking outpatient nasal surgery in a hospital-grade ASC setting.

Rhinoplasty at La Peer Health Systems is offered as an outpatient procedure at the facility's Beverly Hills ASC, located on Wilshire Boulevard at the edge of West Hollywood. The center's Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery department performs both aesthetic rhinoplasty — for patients seeking changes to nose size, dorsal profile, tip definition, or nasal symmetry — and functional rhinoplasty, which addresses airway obstruction resulting from a deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, or collapsed nasal valve. Functional rhinoplasty cases that are medically indicated may qualify for partial insurance reimbursement when documented with appropriate clinical evidence, making the La Peer facility's Medicare certification and established insurance relationships an asset for eligible patients. Aesthetic rhinoplasty at the ASC is performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 90 to 150 minutes depending on the extent of modification required. The open rhinoplasty technique, involving a small transcolumellar incision connecting bilateral marginal incisions, provides direct visualization of the entire nasal framework and is preferred for cases requiring significant structural modification, including cartilage grafting and major tip refinement. The closed (endonasal) approach, keeping all incisions within the nostrils, is used for more limited modifications where direct binocular visualization is less critical. Revision rhinoplasty — technically demanding due to scar tissue, altered anatomy, and limited remaining cartilage — is also performed at La Peer. Patients who travel to Beverly Hills for rhinoplasty benefit from the density of experienced surgeons practicing in the region and the ASC's Saturday availability for procedure scheduling.
