Breathing Issues

Natural Enhancement

Were born with a nasal shape that feels out of balance, but want to preserve your unique features and cultural identity

Revision Surgery

Had a previous rhinoplasty that didn't go as planned, and are now seeking the outcome you originally hoped for

Whatever your reason, one thing is clear: No two noses--or patients--are exactly alike.
You deserve a surgeon who not only understands that but has the skills and empathy to honor it.

3

A perfect balance of art and science

His aim? To help you look and feel like the best version of yourself--without looking like you've had work done.

Rhinoplasty is a transformative opportunity. With Dr. Sedgh by your side, you'll have the confidence that your surgeon isn't just skilled--he's invested in your transformation.

A Patient's Transformative Experience

"

"During the initial consultation, Dr. Sedgh took the time to thoroughly understand my concerns and expectations. He provided a comprehensive overview of the procedure and addressed all my questions with patience and clarity. His calm and thoughtful demeanor left me with no hesitation in choosing him as my surgeon after our first meeting [alone].

His attention to detail and commitment to authenticity shone through at every stage, from the careful preoperative planning to the precision of the surgery itself. Remarkably, just four days post-surgery, I noticed a significant improvement in my breathing despite the swelling. For the first time in a decade, I could breathe freely through both nostrils. This improvement continued over the next three weeks, and even though I am still healing, the aesthetic and functional results have already exceeded my expectations.

What truly distinguishes Dr. Sedgh is his humility, integrity, and compassion. In an industry often driven by profit, finding a doctor who genuinely prioritizes patient well-being can be challenging. Dr. Sedgh's down-to-earth nature and sincere dedication to his patients are truly refreshing. He never made me feel like just another case; he listened intently and never pressured me to proceed with the surgery.

Dr. Sedgh is one of those exceptional professionals who is purely brilliant and authentically kind. I feel fortunate to have been under his care. For anyone seeking not just surgical excellence but a deeply human touch, Dr. Sedgh is your guy.

Book your consultation—you won't regret it."

Surgical and Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty

Some get a nose job to enhance the appearance of their nose and harmonize their facial features.

Others use the procedure as an opportunity to address breathing issues and improve their overall quality of life.

Whether you're considering your first cosmetic procedure or seeking to rebuild a damaged nose, your rhinoplasty should reflect your unique concerns and objectives.

That's why Dr. Jacob Sedgh offers a comprehensive range of specialized surgical and nonsurgical rhinoplasty procedures, each carefully designed to hit a specific goal.

Functional Rhinoplasty

If your main concern is simply breathing easier, functional rhinoplasty could be precisely what you need.

This procedure focuses on correcting internal structural issues, such as a deviated septum or problems with the nasal valves, to open up your airway and ease breathing.

Explore

Crooked Nose Surgery

Is your nose noticeably crooked, maybe from a past mishap or just how it developed? Are you also finding it hard to breathe?

This reconstructive surgery procedure aims to straighten your nasal structure, which can dramatically improve the look of your nose and any related functional issues.

Explore

Nasal Fracture Treatment

Accidents happen. Maybe a sports injury or a car accident left your nose with a deformity that makes it look different or causes problems.

This type of rhinoplasty is all about correcting those irregularities. It helps restore your nose to its optimal condition, ensuring your face's centerpiece looks beautiful and functions properly.

Explore

Septoplasty

If you have a deformed or deviated septum—the nasal bone and cartilage dividing your nostrils—this rhinoplasty procedure is definitely worth considering.

It's a reconstructive procedure that repairs your nasal septum, helping you breathe more comfortably and even subtly improving the appearance of the nose.

Explore

Septal Perforation Repair

Ever notice a whistling sound when you breathe through your nose? That could be a sign of a hole in your septum.

This kind of perforation can cause functional and aesthetic issues, such as breathing irregularities and asymmetry. If you want to address these concerns, this procedure can help.

Explore

Gender-specific Rhinoplasty

Men's and women's noses often have distinct characteristics that contribute to their overall facial aesthetic.

That's why Dr. Sedgh offers specialized male rhinoplasty to maintain or improve a masculine face and female rhinoplasty to highlight feminine facial features while perfecting the nose's function.

Teenage Rhinoplasty

Getting a nose job as a teenager involves a thoughtful approach. After all, facial development in teens isn't completely finished.

Dr. Sedgh's teenage rhinoplasty procedure takes that into account. If you're a teen considering a nose job and want your results to evolve with you, consider this specialized procedure.

Explore

Liquid Rhinoplasty

Surgery isn't a decision to take lightly. Fortunately, Dr. Sedgh offers nonsurgical options that allow you to achieve aesthetic goals without going under the knife.

One of these procedures is liquid rhinoplasty, which uses dermal fillers to sculpt and augment the shape of the nose.

Understanding Your Rhinoplasty Options

Every nose is unique, and so is every rhinoplasty. Dr. Sedgh tailors his approach to your specific anatomy, goals, and cultural heritage to ensure the best possible outcome.

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

Think of rhinoplasty like home renovation. Sometimes, you can make improvements by working within the existing structure. But other times, you need to take down walls.

Depending on your specific vision, needs, and nasal anatomy, Dr. Sedgh may choose between two distinct approaches: open or closed.

Open Rhinoplasty

Also known as external rhinoplasty

This approach involves making a tiny incision along the columella—the delicate strip of tissue between your nostrils.

The Advantage:

The big advantage of this technique is that it gives Dr. Sedgh a completely clear, direct view of your entire internal nose structure, which is perfect if your goals are a bit more complex.

To Consider:

Open rhinoplasty may result in a small scar, though it tends to become almost invisible over time, blending right in.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Sometimes called endonasal rhinoplasty

This surgical technique keeps all the incisions hidden inside your nostrils. That means absolutely no visible external scarring.

The Advantage:

No visible scarring whatsoever—all incisions are completely hidden.

To Consider:

Because the skin and tissues aren’t lifted quite as much, access to the underlying nose structure is a bit more limited. For this reason, the closed approach is often best suited for minor refinements.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

People from different backgrounds often have unique nasal features that really contribute to their overall look and heritage. We're talking about individuals with Asian, African American, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, and Caucasian roots, among many others.

The thing is, these wonderful and unique nasal characteristics make trying to apply a single "ideal" nose job standard impossible—and frankly, you wouldn't want that.

Dr. Sedgh doesn't. That's why he offers ethnic rhinoplasty, a procedure that can help you achieve aesthetic enhancement and functional improvement while preserving your cultural heritage.

It’s a specialized rhinoplasty procedure that’s all about crafting a nose that looks and functions perfectly and celebrates your natural ethnic features—not erase them in the process.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Here's an unfortunate truth: if you don’t choose a qualified surgeon, your nose job may not turn out exactly as you hoped—maybe the look isn’t quite right, or you’re still having breathing problems.

The good news is that secondary or revision rhinoplasty can fix these issues. The question is, “How much will this additional nose job cost?”

Revision rhinoplasty is more intricate than a primary nose job. After all, the revision surgeon is no longer working with a blank canvas.

While more work often comes with a higher price tag, we urge patients to focus more on choosing the right surgeon rather than on cost.

After all, an experienced, expertly trained surgeon like Dr. Sedgh ensures your rhinoplasty—whether your first or secondary—is done right from the get-go.

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

If you're considering a nose job, you likely have countless questions. However, the one that's in most patients' minds is often:

"How does rhinoplasty work?"

Although the specifics can vary significantly depending on the procedure, rhinoplasty generally follows a three-step process:

1

Consultation

Discuss your goals and create a personalized plan

2

Surgery

Expert surgical technique tailored to your needs

3

Recovery

Guided healing process with ongoing support

The Consultation Process

So, you've been thinking about rhinoplasty, and you feel good about Dr. Sedgh being the right surgeon for you? That's great.

Your very first step is to simply schedule a consultation with us.

You can book an appointment by:

If you're not from the Los Angeles area, don't worry. Dr. Sedgh offers virtual consultations as an option.

During the meeting—whether in-person or online—you'll get to chat about why you're considering rhinoplasty. It's your chance to open up about what you're hoping for:

Aesthetic Goals?

Is it mainly for aesthetics? Maybe you want to enhance the appearance of your nose and create a more balanced look with your face?

Functional Concerns?

Is it more about tackling nasal irregularities like a deviated septum that's been causing breathing problems?

Both?

Or perhaps, like many people, is it a little bit of both?

Dr. Sedgh will also take a close look at your medical history and do a thorough physical examination. This stage helps him make sure you're in good health and a good candidate for surgery.

Advanced 3D Imaging Technology

He'll also leverage the Vectra 3D system, which uses sophisticated imaging technology, to analyze and create a detailed 3D model of your nose and facial features.

This virtual model lets you visualize the potential final results of the various rhinoplasty procedures. It's an incredibly valuable tool for helping you see what Dr. Sedgh's nose jobs can do for your face.

After that, he'll put together a personalized treatment plan specifically designed to address your concerns and help you achieve your desired rhinoplasty results.

He'll also explain how he plans to execute this treatment blueprint, covering critical details like:

  • 🔍
    The proposed surgical procedure itself, how it's done, and whether an open or closed approach would be best for your situation
  • 📋
    What to do before the surgery and what to expect during and after the procedure
  • 📅
    A realistic recovery timeline

Steps of the Surgery

Rhinoplasty with Dr. Sedgh is highly customizable. Unfortunately, that means the exact steps of the surgery can vary from patient to patient.

That said, here's what you can generally expect when you're in the operating room:

1. Administering Anesthesia

Dr. Sedgh's rhinoplasty surgery kicks off with anesthesia, usually involving general anesthesia but sometimes local with IV (intravenous) sedation. This necessary first step ensures you're completely comfortable and pain-free from start to finish.

2. Making Incisions

Next, Dr. Sedgh will make the needed incisions for the augmentation or reconstruction. How invasive the incisions will be and where they're located will depend on your nasal anatomy, needs, and objectives.

If you only need minor tweaks, for instance, Dr. Sedgh will often use a closed rhinoplasty approach. That means the incisions will be inside the nostrils, so there are no visible external scars.

However, if you're looking for a more dramatic change, Dr. Sedgh will likely opt for an open rhinoplasty approach. For this, the incision will be made on the base of the columella.

3. Reshaping the Nose

This is where the real artistry happens. After the incisions are made, Dr. Sedgh gently lifts the skin and tissue.

If you're getting functional rhinoplasty to help you breathe better, this stage of the surgery will focus on correcting structural issues like crooked nasal bones or a hole in your septum.

To address issues concerning how your nose looks, like a shallow nasal bridge, Dr. Sedgh might use rib cartilage grafting. This is when he'll take rib cartilage to use in shaping and sculpting your nose.

4. Closing the Incisions

Once the necessary adjustments are made, Dr. Sedgh will redrape the nasal skin and tissue over the new framework and close the incisions.

He'll place a splint to keep your nose in place and cover your face with bandages. And voila—your nose job is done.

The surgery typically takes around one to three hours and is often outpatient. That means you can go home on the same day as your nose job and start your recovery.

However, the surgery may take longer if you undergo supplementary procedures, such as a facelift (rhytidectomy) or chin implant.

Recovery After Rhinoplasty

It's totally normal to want to see the results of your nose job as soon as possible, especially after you've spent countless hours weighing all the pros and cons of your decision.

But first, you need to heal. While everyone's body heals at its own pace, there's a general timeline for rhinoplasty recovery that can give you a good idea of what to expect.

The First Few Days

Right after your operation, it's natural to see some swelling and bruising, especially around your nose. These postoperative byproducts usually peak around days three to five, so don't be surprised if things look worse.

During this time, you'll need to keep your splint and bandages right where Dr. Sedgh put them. This step ensures your new nose framework keeps its beautiful new shape.

At Week One

Around the one-week mark, Dr. Sedgh will typically remove your external splint and any internal packing. This is often when you'll get your very first peek at your new nose.

But just a heads-up: there will still be quite a bit of swelling, which might affect how your nose looks. The good news is that what you'll see at this point isn't the final results—it only gets better from here.

Two to Three Weeks In

By this point, most of the noticeable swelling and bruising should have significantly faded. You'll also start to see more definition in your nose's new shape.

Four to Six Weeks

By now, breathing through your nose should become much easier. You can also start to reintroduce some light cardiovascular activity once you've reached this stage in your recovery.

At Three to Four Months

Around 90% of the healing process is complete, and you should now have a good idea of the outcome of your decision. Keep in mind, however, that subtle changes will still be happening over the next few months.

At 12 Months

Congratulations. Once here, you'll have reached the point of full recovery. The final results of Dr. Sedgh's skills, expertise, and tailored rhinoplasty procedure will be ready for you—and the rest of Los Angeles—to see and admire.

Managing Post-Surgery Symptoms

You can trust Dr. Sedgh to deliver a nose that meets your criteria—whether that's one that helps you breathe easier or makes you look like a million bucks.

However, you also play a significant role in making sure you get the best possible results from your rhinoplasty surgery.

That's why Dr. Sedgh provides detailed postoperative instructions, which are packed with helpful care tips to support your body's healing, like:

😴

Prioritize Rest

Get lots of rest, especially in those first few weeks after your procedure. Doing so helps your body put all its energy into healing.

🛏️

Elevate Your Head

When you sleep or just relax, keep your head propped up with extra pillows. This simple trick helps with swelling and can even make breathing a little easier, keeping any strain off your healing nose.

💧

Stay Hydrated and Eat Nutritiously

Water and healthy food are recovery fuel. They aid in supporting tissue repair and help your whole body recover.

🧊

Try to Manage Swelling

Applying a cold compress to your cheeks can be a lifesaver for minimizing swelling and easing any discomfort—just be sure not to put pressure on your nose itself.

💪

Keep Yourself Motivated

It's normal to feel impatient or discouraged by the initial swelling, or if it feels like forever until you see the final results of your rhinoplasty surgery. But remember, recovery is a big part of the journey. Focusing on the long-term results and reminding yourself that healing takes time can help you manage these feelings.

When to Expect Final Results

We usually recommend taking two weeks off after the surgery before resuming your usual work or routines. And for good reason: the two-to-three-week mark is when you'll start to see improvements to your nose.

However, any changes you see at this point aren't the final results yet—those usually appear three to four months after your surgery.

If you're worried the results aren't showing up fast enough or you have other concerns, don't worry. Dr. Sedgh offers periodic follow-up appointments to check your progress and ensure your recovery is on track.

Cost of Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles

If you're considering rhinoplasty, it's natural to wonder about the financial side of things and how it all works.

However, it's almost impossible to provide a one-size-fits-all number, considering that several factors influence the cost of a nose job, including:

🔧

Procedure Complexity

This one's pretty straightforward—the more intricate the work needed, the more involved—and thus more expensive—the surgery will be.

A simple nasal tip refinement, for instance, will typically cost less than a complex revision rhinoplasty.
👨‍⚕️

Surgeon's Expertise

Highly skilled and experienced surgeons, especially those who have built a strong reputation in a competitive market like Los Angeles, typically have higher fees.

After all, you're not just paying for a procedure—you're paying for their specialized knowledge, precision, and proven track record.
📍

Geographic Location

As a major metropolitan area with a higher cost of living and a concentration of top plastic surgeons, Los Angeles tends to have higher rhinoplasty costs compared to other regions.

💰

Additional Fees

The final bill is more than just the surgeon's fee. It might also include:

  • Anesthesia fees
  • Surgical facility costs
  • Medical tests
  • Post-surgery garments
  • Prescriptions for medications

Quality Over Cost

It's true—cost is definitely a critical factor when considering a nose job in Los Angeles. However, it's best to remember that your chosen plastic surgeon should take priority over any cost savings.

After all, rhinoplasty isn't just about making aesthetic changes—it's a transformative procedure that can improve your self-image, comfort, and, in many cases, health, too.

And to whom you entrust your nose is the deciding variable in whether you get a successful surgery or one that requires a second pass.

Insurance and Financing Options

Generally, insurance companies might step in to cover rhinoplasty—or at least a portion of it—if it's being done to improve your nose's breathing function.

Often Covered

That means rhinoplasty procedures, such as functional rhinoplasty and septoplasty, are often deemed medically necessary and covered.

  • Deviated septum repair
  • Breathing problem correction
  • Trauma reconstruction

Typically Not Covered

However, if rhinoplasty is purely for aesthetic reasons—meaning you're only looking to enhance the appearance of your nose—it's typically not covered by standard health insurance plans.

  • Cosmetic reshaping
  • Aesthetic refinements
  • Elective enhancements

Flexible Payment Solutions

Fortunately, we offer financing options that might ease the financial load of a nose job if your health plan doesn't cover it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rhinoplasty

The average cost of rhinoplasty in California is around $9,498, though this figure doesn’t account for things like appointments, medical tests, and prescription medications.

It’s worth noting, however, that a nose job in specialized areas like Beverly Hills tends to be more expensive than in other cities, such as Los Angeles, due to the higher cost of running a practice.

Fortunately, this higher price tag isn’t necessarily a bad thing. After all, it means getting a skilled, experienced, and double board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Jacob Sedgh.

And isn’t that worth more than any short-term savings?

If your nose job is done as a reconstructive procedure to address functional issues like breathing, insurance providers will typically cover all or a portion of the cost.

 However, most health plans usually won’t cover rhinoplasty if it’s performed for only aesthetic enhancements.

Rhinoplasty surgery generally takes around one to three hours, with your personalized procedure ultimately being the determining factor.

Note that undergoing supplementary procedures like a facelift (rhytidectomy) with your nose job will add to the total operating time.

Dr. Sedgh will happily discuss these matters, including the types of anesthesia involved in the surgical procedure, with you during the consultation.

Like any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty comes with some potential risks you should be aware of.

While serious complications are rare, we believe it’s essential for you to be fully informed so you can make a confident decision about your nose.

Potential risks and complications that can sometimes be associated with nasal surgery include:

  • Adverse reactions to anesthesia
  • Infections
  • Problems with healing that can lead to scarring
  • Changes in your sense of smell
  • The need for revision rhinoplasty

The good news is that, as a double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Sedgh follows the most stringent health and safety procedures, which significantly reduce the chances of these complications happening.

His thorough evaluation process, meticulous preoperative planning, and detailed pre- and post-surgery instructions are all designed to promote safe healing and help you avoid potential issues.

There’s no “best” age to get a nose job—even patients as young as 16 years old can undergo rhinoplasty as long as they have consent from a parent or legal guardian.

However, everyone’s different. Factors like nasal development and emotional maturity all come into play when determining whether you’re ready for rhinoplasty.

That’s why a consultation is critical. Dr. Sedgh will be upfront if he believes you’re at the optimum age for rhinoplasty surgery or should hold off for a while.

Yes, rhinoplasty can be combined with other reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.

In fact, some of our patients undergo a chin implant together with their nose job to achieve a more dramatic—yet balanced—transformation.

Our rhinoplasty procedures are often done under general anesthesia, which puts you to sleep during the surgery.

However, we also offer local anesthesia with sedation as an option for less complex procedures.

Conclusion

If you've been considering rhinoplasty, know that you're already taking the first step toward a nose that not only looks balanced and natural but also functions the way it should.

However, it's critical to remember that not all plastic surgeons are created equal.

Choosing a highly qualified surgeon in Los Angeles who is genuinely committed to providing top-notch patient care and follows ethical practices gives you the best chance of achieving stellar outcomes.

If you're dreaming of a nose that finally feels like yours—whether for aesthetics, function, or both—Dr. Jacob Sedgh is here to help you capitalize on the transformative opportunity rhinoplasty offers.
