As the focal point of your face, a balanced, symmetrical nose can transform your appearance and enhance your confidence. Rhinoplasty, or a “nose job,” can refine your nose’s size, shape, and functionality, balancing your other facial features.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Joseph Tamburrino, M.D., offers rhinoplasty in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, serving patients in Greater Philadelphia. He uses precise techniques and a personalized approach to create natural-looking results that align with your aesthetic goals.
What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance and, in some cases, the function of the nose. Whether you wish to address cosmetic concerns such as asymmetry, a bulbous tip, or a dorsal hump or to correct functional issues like a deviated septum, rhinoplasty offers a versatile solution. Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. tailors your rhinoplasty procedure to suit your unique anatomy and desired outcome, ensuring subtle yet impactful results.

What Are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty can make a nose appear smaller or elegantly reshape a nose that is too large or wide. It can refine a bulbous, narrow, or asymmetrical nose. The objective is a more aesthetically appealing nose that functions properly.
Nose reshaping offers multiple benefits, including:
- Enhanced facial harmony and balance
- Improved self-confidence and satisfaction with your appearance
- Correction of nasal obstructions to improve breathing
- Long-lasting results that refine the nose while preserving your natural features
During your one-on-one consultation, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. assesses your facial structure and listens attentively to your concerns and goals before developing a treatment plan to achieve your desired results.

You may be an ideal candidate for rhinoplasty if you:
- Are at least 16 years old and have fully developed facial features
- Are in good overall health
- Do not smoke or are willing to stop smoking before surgery
- Have specific concerns about the appearance or function of your nose

How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. typically performs rhinoplasty as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia or IV sedation. Techniques include:
- Open Rhinoplasty: Involves a small incision at the base of the nose to provide greater access for reshaping.
- Closed Rhinoplasty: Utilizes incisions within the nostrils for more subtle adjustments and no visible scarring.
Depending on your needs, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. may remove excess tissue, reposition cartilage, or add structure to refine the nasal shape. He carefully places sutures to ensure a smooth, natural result.
After surgery, you will rest comfortably in the recovery suite and then be released to recover at home.
Recovery and Results
After rhinoplasty, you can expect:
- Swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes for the first few days
- A recovery period of 2 to 4 weeks, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides
- Long-lasting improvements to both form and function, with full results visible within a year
Tips for Recovery
- Use cold compresses to minimize swelling
- Pain medication will manage discomfort
- Avoid strenuous activities for several weeks
- Follow all postoperative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery
Your postoperative follow-up with Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will be scheduled within a couple of days after surgery to assess your healing progress.
Rhinoplasty FAQ
Will my insurance cover functional nose surgery?
Your insurance may cover some of your costs if your surgery is medically necessary to improve your breathing. However, it is important to check with your insurance company for coverage specifics.
If you are considering applying for reimbursement from your insurance, please tell Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. during your consultation. We can help you submit any needed paperwork and information to your insurance company so your claim can be processed.
Are there nonsurgical options to change my nose?
To smooth the appearance of lumps and bumps on your nose, dermal fillers may be an option. An injectable filler can temporarily improve minor imperfections, which can help you determine the ideal look you want from rhinoplasty.
Nose surgery is better for more significant changes, long-lasting results, and improving the nose’s internal structure for better function. During your consultation, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will let you know if you may be a candidate for nonsurgical nose reshaping.
What about ethnic rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty refines the nose while maintaining your cultural identity—often a consideration for those of African American, Asian, or Middle Eastern descent. In your consultation with Joseph Tamburrino, M.D., discuss what you like about your nose and what you want to change to allow him to customize your treatment plan.
Can I combine a nose job with other facial surgeries?
Combining surgeries for a more dramatic result can be discussed during your consultation with Joseph Tamburrino, M.D.. Once he understands your concerns and goals, he can help you choose complementary procedures. People commonly combine rhinoplasty with chin augmentation for a more balanced profile.
How much does rhinoplasty cost?
Cost varies depending on technique and complexity. Before estimating costs, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. listens to your concerns and goals to help develop your custom treatment plan. He then provides a price and discusses the costs of the facility, anesthesia, and more. To make your surgery more affordable, we accept a range of payment methods and can recommend financing options.
Are the results of rhinoplasty permanent?
Rhinoplasty results are permanent, although the full results can take up to a year to develop. You should have realistic expectations and discuss any concerns with our team to ensure your satisfaction.
