If your nose shape, size, or position causes you to feel insecure about your appearance, Dr. Stein performs rhinoplasty procedures for any race or gender and a majority of ages. Even if you already have had a nose job, Dr. Stein can improve the appearance and function of the nose for patients in Raleigh, NC.
What is a Nose Job?
A nose job is a surgical procedure to correct the shape, size, or repair damage to the nose. The technical name for a nose job is rhinoplasty. Nose jobs may reduce the nose’s size, smooth a bump on its bridge, refine the tip, repair the nose if it’s been broken or collapsed from trauma, and straighten a deviated septum.
While insurance typically doesn’t cover a nose job, some are for functional purposes to improve breathing. Dr. Stein extensively analyzes your nose and your goals before performing a rhinoplasty to ensure the most natural-looking results last you a lifetime.
Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Scheduling a consultation with Dr. Stein is the best way to know if you are a good candidate for a nose job. The information below may also help you learn if you might be a good candidate.
Conditions Treated
Rhinoplasty may be used to treat a variety of conditions for both cosmetic and functional purposes. Conditions most often treated are:
- Noses that are too big or wide
- A bump on the nose’s bridge
- Drooping nose tips
- A broken nose

Rhinoplasties are commonly done to address insecurity. Most patients see an increase in their confidence after rhinoplasty.

Types of Nose Jobs
Dr. Stein is a double-certified plastic surgeon with 26 years of experience treating patients for a variety of cosmetic and functional facial issues. With this experience, Dr. Stein can perform:

Closed Rhinoplasty
Also known as a scarless rhinoplasty due to the incisions inside the nose, close rhinoplasty is reserved for less extensive remodeling, correcting the bridge and nasal tip.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Dr. Stein is knowledgeable in the structural foundations for ethnic features and preserves the unique characteristics of your heritage while achieving your aesthetic goals.
