What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose. It can address a variety of concerns, including:
Cosmetic Concerns:
- Asymmetry
- Crookedness
- Dorsal hump
- Droopy tip
- Large nostrils
- Pinched tip
- Saddle nose
- Disproportionate size
Functional Concerns:
- Deviated septum
- Breathing difficulties
Rhinoplasty Approaches at Barr Aesthetics
We offer three distinct approaches to rhinoplasty, each with its own advantages and considerations:
Open Rhinoplasty: This technique involves a small incision across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. It provides the surgeon with greater visibility and access to the nasal structures, allowing for more complex reshaping.
Closed Rhinoplasty: In this approach, all incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars. It is generally suitable for less extensive reshaping and may offer a quicker recovery time.
Liquid Rhinoplasty: This non-surgical option utilizes injectable fillers to camouflage imperfections and subtly refine the nose’s shape. It offers immediate results with minimal downtime but requires repeat treatments to maintain the effects.
Choosing the Right Approach
The most suitable approach for you will depend on your individual needs and goals. During your consultation, Dr. Barr will thoroughly evaluate your nasal anatomy, discuss your desired outcomes, and recommend the most appropriate technique.

Recovery After Rhinoplasty
You can expect some swelling and bruising around your nose and eyes for the first few weeks after surgery. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage any discomfort. It’s important to keep your head elevated and avoid strenuous activities during this time. Most patients can return to work or school within a week or two, but it may take several months for the final results to fully emerge.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rhinoplasty
Are there different types of nose jobs?
Yes, there are open and closed rhinoplasty procedures.
Open Rhinoplasty: A small incision is made across the columella (the skin between both nostrils) so the skin can be lifted up and off the tip of the nose. This exposes the bone and cartilage so the surgeon can have access to reshaping. Once complete, the skin is draped back over the nose and the columella is stitched back together.
Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils and soft tissues are separated from bone and cartilage inside the nose. The surgeon reshapes the structure by either removing or adding cartilage inside the nose.
Is Rhinoplasty right for me?
If you are in good health and have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure, rhinoplasty might be right for you. If you want to make subtle changes to the appearance of your nose or improve its function, you might be a good candidate for rhinoplasty Utah.
When will I be able to see the full results of my nose job?
Immediately following rhinoplasty, you’ll see some of the results. Expect swelling and bruising around your nose and eyes for a few weeks post-op. Within two weeks, the swelling and bruising should subside enough that the full effect of the surgery is visible. Please note, however, that it can take up to a full year for your nose and face to heal completely.
What are the benefits of rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty can give your nose the shape you want to better fit your other existing features. A nose job can also improve breathing and help you regain confidence in your looks.
When can I exercise again after rhinoplasty?
It’s best to wait 2 – 3 weeks before resuming strenuous activities after rhinoplasty.
How much time should I take off work after a nose job?
Give yourself at least one week off from work after your nose job. More time off is ideal to give yourself time to rest and recover.
Can I blow my nose after a nose job?
Refrain from blowing your nose for at least one week post-op. Also, avoid rubbing your nose for up to 8 weeks.
