Rhinoplasty

Seattle Plastic Surgery Center performs rhinoplasty to refine nasal size, shape, tip projection, bridge profile, and overall facial harmony. Dr. Craig Jonov's fellowship training in facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery informs both open and closed technique approaches tailored to each patient's anatomy. The procedure is performed in the clinic's JCAHO-accredited OR under board-certified anesthesia, with two weeks of social downtime and final results visible as swelling resolves over twelve months.

Rhinoplasty at Seattle Plastic Surgery Center addresses structural and aesthetic nasal concerns ranging from dorsal humps and wide nasal tips to asymmetry, deviated septum correction, and post-traumatic deformity. Dr. Craig Jonov, board-certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery with fellowship training in facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, brings deep expertise to nasal reshaping procedures serving patients from Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Kirkland, and throughout Washington State. Both open rhinoplasty — using a small columellar incision for maximal exposure and precision — and closed rhinoplasty with internal incisions only are available, with technique selection based on the complexity of the structural changes required. Common goals include reducing a nasal hump, refining a bulbous or undefined tip, narrowing wide nostrils, improving tip projection, correcting asymmetries, and restoring nasal appearance after trauma or prior surgery. Functional concerns such as nasal valve collapse or septal deviation that impair breathing can often be addressed simultaneously during aesthetic rhinoplasty, potentially allowing functional portions to be covered under health insurance while cosmetic elements are billed separately. The clinic's team advises on this pathway during consultation. Surgery is performed in the clinic's state-certified, JCAHO-accredited surgical suite under board-certified anesthesia. Initial swelling resolves substantially within two weeks, allowing a return to social activities, with final results visible as swelling fully dissipates over six to twelve months. Financing through Alphaeon Credit and CareCredit is available.
