What Is Rhinoplasty?

Our rhinoplasty in McKinney, also known as a nose job, is a highly specialized surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to improve facial harmony, correct structural concerns, or enhance breathing. It can involve:

  • Modifying the bridge
  • Adjusting nostril size
  • Straightening asymmetries

The anatomy of the nose is intricate, composed of bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. Dr. Chung tailors each procedure to your unique features and goals, using either:

  • A closed approach (with incisions hidden inside the nostrils)
  • An open technique (with a discreet incision at the base of the nose for enhanced visibility and precision)

Depending on your needs, he may incorporate:

  • Dorsal hump reduction
  • Tip refinement or support
  • Cartilage grafting for definition or structure
  • Septoplasty or turbinate reduction to improve breathing

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Choosing rhinoplasty in McKinney can be a life-changing decision, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits. Beyond refining the shape of your nose, this procedure helps create balance among your facial features, enhancing overall harmony. Many patients who undergo McKinney rhinoplasty also experience improved breathing and reduced nasal obstruction, making it more than just a cosmetic transformation. With Dr. Chung’s precision and artistry, you can achieve natural-looking results that complement your individuality, results designed to:

  • Create a more cohesive facial profile so your features feel balanced rather than competing for attention
  • Improve nasal structure for smoother breathing and reduced congestion or obstruction
  • Refine features that have long felt out of place, bringing subtle harmony to your face without altering your identity
  • Give you a lasting sense of confidence, knowing your nose complements, rather than distracts from your natural beauty
  • Provide long-term stability and satisfaction through meticulous technique and structural preservation

Why Choose Setty Plastics & Aesthetics for Rhinoplasty?

Dr. Michael Chung is among a select group of facial surgeons with high-level training in rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation. He performs each rhinoplasty in our AAAASF-accredited surgical center with exacting attention to detail, honoring the patient’s ethnic background, gender, and identity. From your first consultation through long-term follow-up, you’ll be supported by a team prioritizing transparency, patient education, and refined outcomes.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Chung will:

  • Examine the internal and external structures of your nose
  • Assess your facial proportions, skin thickness, and breathing function
  • Review your medical history, medications, and prior nasal procedures
  • Use digital imaging when appropriate to help visualize potential outcomes
  • Discuss whether an open or closed rhinoplasty is best for your goals
  • Explain what changes are possible, and what limits exist for safety and structure

The cost typically ranges from $10,000 to $16,000, depending on surgical complexity, revision cases, and whether functional corrections (such as septoplasty) are required. You will receive a detailed quote and financing options at the end of your consultation.

Your Rhinoplasty Experience

Once you’re comfortably sedated, Dr. Chung begins with either a closed approach (with all incisions placed discreetly inside the nostrils) or an open approach, which involves a small, well-hidden incision at the base of the nose. He sometimes uses cartilage grafts for added definition or structural support.

Once the procedure is complete, a nasal splint is applied to protect and support the newly shaped nose, and internal splints may be used to stabilize the septum. You’ll be monitored briefly in recovery, then return home the same day with personalized aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments scheduled to ensure smooth healing and optimal results.

Recovery and Results

  • Days 1–3: Swelling, bruising, nasal congestion, mild discomfort.
  • 1 week: Splint removed, most bruising fades.
  • 2–3 weeks: Return to work and most social activities.
  • 4–6 weeks: Resume light exercise. While you’ll see early improvement within weeks, full rhinoplasty results take time to settle, especially with thick skin or significant structural changes.
  • 3–6 months: Swelling continues to decrease; results refine.
  • 1 year: Final definition and contour revealed.

What are the risks or complications of rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is generally safe, but risks include:

  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Poor healing
  • Breathing changes
  • Asymmetry
  • Numbness
  • Visible scars
  • Potential revision surgery
Dr. Chung’s expertise and careful technique help minimize these risks, ensuring your safety from consultation to recovery.

Will my breathing worsen after rhinoplasty?

It shouldn’t. In fact, many rhinoplasty procedures at Setty Plastics improve breathing, especially when combined with septoplasty or turbinate reduction. Dr. Chung is trained to balance both function and aesthetics, ensuring any changes to nasal structure support or enhance airflow.

Can rhinoplasty fix a previously broken or injured nose?

Many patients seek rhinoplasty to correct nasal deformities or breathing issues from trauma. Dr. Chung can realign and reconstruct nasal structures to restore a natural appearance. He'll assess the damage and may suggest combining cosmetic and functional corrections.

What’s the difference between a primary and revision rhinoplasty?

Primary rhinoplasty is the first nasal surgery, while revision rhinoplasty refines results from a previous procedure and is often more complex due to scar tissue or altered anatomy. Dr. Chung specializes in both and takes a careful approach, especially with revisions.

Will rhinoplasty affect my voice?

In rare cases, some people notice subtle voice changes, particularly when internal structures are altered significantly. This is more common in professional voice users or singers. If this is a concern, Dr. Chung will address it during your consultation and collaborate with specialists if needed.

How do I know if open or closed rhinoplasty is right for me?

Dr. Chung selects the surgical approach based on your anatomy and goals. Closed rhinoplasty has hidden incisions and quicker recovery for modest changes, while open rhinoplasty allows more precision for complex procedures. Both can achieve beautiful results when performed by an expert.

What if I’m unhappy with my results?

Rhinoplasty results take time—what you see after one month is not final. If, after full healing, your nose doesn't meet your expectations, Dr. Chung will evaluate whether refinements or revision surgery are needed. Luckily, dissatisfaction is rare at Setty Plastics thanks to thorough planning and clear communication.
