“I have such a very long list of praises to sing about my experience at the Naderi Center and, specifically, with Dr. Naderi himself that I almost don’t even know where to start with my review! … As there were no results throughout the globe (literally) that compared to the beautiful and natural results that I saw on Dr. Naderi’s website/Instagram, I reached out from Germany and easily scheduled an initial Skype consultation, where Dr. Naderi’s wisdom, in addition to his evident skill, immediately assured me that this was the surgeon for me.”

“Dr. Naderi has a great talent for making everything look natural and balanced.”
“Thank you to Dr. Naderi and his team! I’m three months post op and I absolutely love my new nose. I was nervous at first and didn’t know how I would feel after getting the surgery and how hard the recovery would be. I found it’s not too bad at all and I was given the best pre and post op care. I was nervous my new nose would look too unnatural but Dr. Naderi has a great talent for making everything look natural and balanced. Very thorough, very thoughtful, and very professional! I feel so confident. Highly recommend”

“Best decision I ever made going with Dr. Naderi.”
“I had an incredible experience getting a preservation rhinoplasty (septoplasty) with Dr. Naderi. It is one month post-operation and I am so happy with the results. He did perfect work and gave me exactly what I had in mind. It looks completely natural! Swelling is very minimal due to keeping it wrapped consistently. Imaging and the surgery results one month out look the same, and I personally feel that it looks even better than the imaging. I am so happy I chose him as my surgeon. I would recommend him to friends and family. Thank you! Best decision I ever made going with Dr. Naderi.”

“This has truly been a life changing experience!”
“Its only been 6-weeks since my surgery and I love my new look already! I have to retrain myself not to hide from my right side profile like I used to. I can now wear my hair back and show my elegant nose at all angles. I now feel good about myself when walking by that department store mirror and catching a glimpse of the profile I tried so hard to contour with makeup and using my hair to shield its sharpness. This has truly been a life changing experience! Thank you Dr Naderi and staff!”

“The functional results have been huge for me.”
“The functional results have been huge for me. My breathing opened up immediately, but what really surprised me was how much my sense of smell improved, and with it, my sense of taste. Food just tastes so much better now. The first time I really noticed it, I had to stop for a second because I hadn’t realized how much I’d been missing.
I also noticed that Dr. Naderi takes real pride in his work. You can see it when the cast comes off. He is genuinely invested in how it turned out, and he treats the result like something he personally stands behind.”

What Is Jewish Rhinoplasty?
Jewish rhinoplasty is not a separate operation. It is rhinoplasty planned around the concerns Jewish patients most often bring to Dr. Naderi: a hump on the bridge, a tip that droops or looks full, a nose that looks long from the side, and often a deviated septum that makes breathing harder.
The goal is a smoother profile, a refined tip and easier breathing, with a nose that still fits your face and your family. Patients of Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi background come to Dr. Naderi, and every plan starts with the individual face, not a heritage label.
Benefits of Jewish Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can improve how your nose looks and how it works, without erasing the features that make you look like you. A nose in balance with the rest of your face brings facial harmony and often more self-confidence.
Cosmetic and Functional Corrections in One Procedure
- Deviated septum
- Enlarged turbinates
- Nasal valve collapse
- Chronic nasal congestion
The Naderi Center provides a consultation that includes a cosmetic and functional nasal exam. When a medical need is present, breathing problems are addressed during the procedure. You may get insurance coverage for part of the surgery. Dr. Naderi does septoplasty, which keeps cartilage in place; this prevents collapse or re-deviation from happening. He works on the nose, inside and outside.
A good candidate is healthy, has a nose that has finished growing, and wants the change for himself or herself. The goal is a nose that fits your face. Rhinoplasty is permanent, so Dr. Naderi takes the time to understand why you want surgery before he agrees to do it. He always does what is right for the patient, and he is never quick to operate.
What Patients Most Often Ask For
- A smaller or smoother hump. Lowering the bridge so the profile is straight or has a soft slope.
- A lifted, refined tip. Supporting a tip that droops, especially when smiling, and refining a full or bulbous tip.
- A nose that looks shorter. Rotating the tip slightly so the nose looks less long from the side.
- Easier breathing. Straightening a deviated septum or opening a narrow airway at the same time.
- A correction. Fixing a nose that was overdone, underdone or left with an operated look by an earlier surgery. See revision rhinoplasty.
Women and Men
Women often want a softer, slightly lower bridge and a refined, gently lifted tip. Men usually want a straight, strong bridge with less tip rotation, so the nose stays masculine. Dr. Naderi plans the change to suit each face.
If you are not ready for surgery, ask about non-surgical rhinoplasty. Filler can camouflage a small bump in a short office visit, though it cannot make a nose smaller.
Refine Your Nose, Never Erase It
The most common worry Jewish patients share with Dr. Naderi is losing their identity and ending up with a cookie-cutter nose. That should never happen. A good rhinoplasty refines what is there and keeps the character of the face, so you still look like yourself and like your family.
Many younger patients come to the consultation with a mother or grandmother who had a nose job decades ago. Too often those older surgeries removed too much and left the tell-tale signs of a bad nose job, such as a scooped bridge or a pinched, upturned tip. Dr. Naderi takes the time to explain how his technique is different: the change can be meaningful and still look natural and untouched.
Others come to him after a surgeon was too conservative. A natural result is not about how much is changed. It is about whether the final nose fits your face, and computer imaging lets you and Dr. Naderi agree on that before surgery.
Rhinoplasty Techniques Dr. Naderi Uses
- Preservation rhinoplasty. Keeps your natural bridge and its support intact and lowers it from underneath, in place of removing a hump and rebuilding the bridge. Dr. Naderi uses it in select patients. Read more about preservation rhinoplasty.
- Ultrasonic (piezo) rhinoplasty. Shapes the nasal bones with an ultrasonic instrument in fine, controlled steps in place of traditional chisels and rasps. Dr. Naderi uses it in select patients.
- Structural rhinoplasty. Supports the tip and bridge with grafts of your own cartilage, usually from the septum, so the nose keeps its shape as it heals.
- Closed and open approaches. Dr. Naderi performs both and chooses the approach for each nose.
- Computer imaging. He does the imaging himself, so you see a surgically realistic plan before surgery.
Rhinoplasty is widely considered the most difficult operation in plastic surgery. It is three-dimensional surgery measured in millimeters, and it takes a surgeon who understands both the shape of the nose and how it breathes. Dr. Naderi does not use technique names for marketing. He chooses what each nose needs.
Emotional and Cultural Considerations
Rhinoplasty for Jewish patients can be an emotional journey. Some patients feel conflicted, wanting change while fearing judgment from family or the loss of a generational or familial feature.
The consultations with Dr. Naderi are respectful. Patients have the option to express concerns; they may bring family members or decide about their care at their own pace.
Patient Testimonial
“Her confidence changed completely.”
“My daughter was nervous before college, but after the surgery, her confidence changed completely. Dr. Naderi made us feel seen and heard the entire way. She now has the cutest nose!”
★★★★★R.L.Bethesda, MD
Jewish Rhinoplasty for Teens and Young Adults
Many Jewish patients consider rhinoplasty at a milestone: the years after a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, before college, or before a wedding. The minimum age with Dr. Naderi is 14, and only when the face has essentially finished growing.
Maturity matters more than the number. Dr. Naderi looks at the mindset of the individual: why this young person wants surgery, what he or she expects, and whether the wish is the patient’s own or is being pushed by a parent, a relative or friends. He often brings teenagers back for more than one visit before any plan is made, and he tells some to come back in a year or two.
Parents are welcome at every visit, and many families find it helps to look at the computer imaging together.
Is there an upper age limit? No. Many adults who wanted to change their nose for years have rhinoplasty later in life, and lifting a drooping tip can make the whole face look more rested.
Types of Rhinoplasty Dr. Naderi Performs
Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty
Read more
In an ultrasonic rhinoplasty, also known as a “piezo rhinoplasty”, the surgeon reshapes the nasal bones with an instrument that vibrates at ultrasonic frequency in place of traditional chisels and rasps. It lets the surgeon sculpt bone in fine, controlled steps. Dr. Naderi uses ultrasonic rhinoplasty in select patients, when it is the right tool for that nose.
Preservation Rhinoplasty
Read more
Preservation rhinoplasty keeps your natural bridge and its support intact and lowers it from underneath, in place of removing a hump and rebuilding the bridge. It suits some noses and not others, so Dr. Naderi uses it in select patients. Read more about preservation rhinoplasty.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Read more
Revision rhinoplasty corrects the result of a previous nose surgery, in appearance, in breathing or in both. It is more complex than a first rhinoplasty, and many patients come to Dr. Naderi for it after surgery elsewhere. Learn more about Revision Rhinoplasty.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Read more
Dr. Naderi performs a high volume of ethnic rhinoplasty. The goal is a nose that looks natural on your face and stays true to your heritage. Common changes include refining the bridge, narrowing the nostrils and adjusting the angle of the tip. Learn more about Ethnic Rhinoplasty, including Persian, Asian, African American, Latin, Jewish and Anglo-Caucasian rhinoplasty.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Read more
Functional problems, including a deviated septum as well as breathing impairments, are the most common functional nasal surgical repairs. Rhinoplasty opens nasal airway obstructions with septoplasty, vestibuloplasty, turbinate reduction, valvuloplasty, or osteotomies. Learn more about Functional Reparative Rhinoplasty. If an injury has broken or shifted your nose, see nasal fractures and surgical options.
Open Rhinoplasty
Read more
In an open rhinoplasty, the surgeon adds one small incision on the skin between the nostrils to the incisions inside the nose. This gives a full view of the nasal structures and allows more structural work on the tip. Placed and closed properly, the small scar is nearly imperceptible once it heals.
Closed (Endonasal) Rhinoplasty
Read more
In a closed rhinoplasty, also known as an “endonasal rhinoplasty”, all of the incisions are inside the nostrils and are not visible after surgery. It usually means less swelling and quicker healing at the tip. Dr. Naderi performs both closed and open rhinoplasty and chooses the approach for each nose. Learn more about scarless rhinoplasty.

Computer Imaging: See Your New Nose Before Surgery
Computer imaging is the clearest way for you and your surgeon to agree on a plan. Dr. Naderi morphs your own photos on a large screen during the consultation, so you can see the proposed nose on your face and ask for changes before surgery, not after the cast comes off.
Take a dorsal hump as an example. Every surgeon will plan to remove it, but how much comes off decides whether the profile ends up straight, slightly curved or scooped. Imaging lets you choose.
Dr. Naderi does the imaging himself, because the surgeon doing the surgery is the one who knows what is surgically realistic. Imaging is not a guarantee of the outcome. It is the road map he follows in the operating room. You are welcome to bring your own edited photos to show what you like and what you fear. Learn more about our 3D imaging technology.

How to Prepare for Rhinoplasty
- Stop smoking at least two weeks before surgery. Smoking impairs your circulation and slows healing.
- Review your medications with us, including over-the-counter products, vitamins and herbal supplements.
- Avoid aspirin and ibuprofen, and products that contain them, before and after surgery. They interfere with clotting and can cause bleeding.
- Use Tylenol (acetaminophen) if you need a pain reliever or fever reducer.
- Read your instructions. Go over our rhinoplasty pre- and post-operative instructions before surgery day.
How Rhinoplasty Is Performed
Rhinoplasty takes about two hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Naderi works through incisions inside the nose (closed rhinoplasty) or adds one small incision between the nostrils (open rhinoplasty) to reach the cartilage and bone that give the nose its shape.
He then reshapes that framework. Depending on your nose, he may reduce a hump, narrow the nasal bones, or lift, shorten, refine or support the tip. To make a nose smaller he removes cartilage or bone. To build or support it he adds cartilage grafts.
When there is enough of it, Dr. Naderi prefers to use your own septal cartilage, taken from the nasal septum, the wall that divides the two air passages. If previous surgery has left too little septum, he may use rib cartilage, either your own or donor rib.
When the framework is finished, the skin is laid back over it and takes on the new shape. A small splint supports the nose while it heals. Dr. Naderi does not routinely use nasal packing.
Anesthesia for Rhinoplasty
Dr. Naderi performs rhinoplasty under general anesthesia. You are fully asleep, comfortable and still for the whole operation, which matters in a surgery measured in millimeters.
Rhinoplasty Recovery, Week by Week
Plan on one week off work or school. A small cast stays on your nose for 5 to 10 days, and exercise waits for one month.
| When | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Day of surgery | About 2 hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Naderi does not routinely pack the nose, so many patients need little or no pain medication. |
| First week | A small cast stays on the nose. Expect bruising and swelling around the nose and eyes. Cold compresses help. Take the week off work or school. |
| Days 5 to 10 | Dr. Naderi removes the cast, along with sutures after an open rhinoplasty. Most patients then return to work or school, with a little cover-up makeup for any light bruising. |
| First month | No exercise, to prevent nosebleeds and limit swelling. Most patients are enjoying their new nose by one month. |
| 1 to 3 months | No glasses or contact sports if the nasal bones were set. |
| 1 to 5 years | Most of the healing is done by one year. After that the tip keeps refining and gaining definition. |
If nasal packing is needed, it is removed about two days after surgery. Heavy exercise, excess heat and changes in altitude can increase swelling. See the recovery products our surgeons recommend for your post-op care kit.
How the Nose Changes as It Heals
The photos you see right after surgery, at one week or even at one month are not the final result. Downtime for most patients is about a week, and most of the healing happens in the first year. After that the changes are subtle. Over the next 3 to 5 years the tip keeps settling, the nose moves in closer to the face and it gains definition, especially with thick skin.

Jewish Rhinoplasty FAQs
Will I still look Jewish after rhinoplasty?
That depends on your goals, and you decide them with Dr. Naderi. He refines the nose rather than replacing it, keeping the character of your face so you still look like yourself and like your family. Computer imaging shows the planned change before surgery.
How is Jewish rhinoplasty different from other rhinoplasty?
The operation is the same. The planning is centered on the concerns Jewish patients most often bring: a dorsal hump, a drooping or full tip, a nose that looks long from the side, and a deviated septum. Every plan is built around the individual face, skin and breathing.
Can a dorsal hump be removed without my nose looking operated on?
Yes. Dr. Naderi lowers the hump while keeping the bridge smooth and the lines of the nose natural, so the profile does not look scooped. In select patients he uses preservation rhinoplasty, which lowers the bridge from underneath and keeps its natural structure.
Can a drooping tip be lifted?
Yes. Dr. Naderi supports and slightly rotates a tip that droops, especially one that drops further when you smile, usually with cartilage from your own septum. The tip is lifted to fit your face without looking upturned.
Can breathing problems be fixed in the same surgery?
Yes. A deviated septum, enlarged turbinates or a narrow airway can be corrected during the same operation. Insurance does not pay for cosmetic rhinoplasty. It may cover the functional part of the surgery, and only if your plan is one The Naderi Center is in network with.
My mother had a nose job that looks unnatural. Will mine look like hers?
No. Many older nose jobs removed too much and left a scooped bridge or a pinched, upturned tip. Today Dr. Naderi keeps and supports the structure of the nose, so the result looks natural and fits your face. He is happy to explain the difference to you and your family at the consultation.
What is the best age for Jewish rhinoplasty?
The minimum age with Dr. Naderi is 14, once the face has essentially finished growing, and only when the wish is the teenager’s own. Many patients have surgery after their Bar or Bat Mitzvah years, before college or before a wedding. There is no upper age limit for a healthy adult.
Can I bring family to my consultation?
Yes. Parents are welcome at every visit for younger patients, and many adults bring a spouse or parent. You can take your time to decide.
Does Dr. Naderi perform open or closed rhinoplasty?
Both. About 85 percent of his rhinoplasties are open and 15 percent are closed. He chooses the approach for each nose based on what it needs. Read more about closed (scarless) rhinoplasty.
How much does Jewish rhinoplasty cost?
Primary rhinoplasty with Dr. Naderi costs $18,000 to $27,000. That is the surgeon’s fee; anesthesia and surgical facility fees are separate. The consultation fee is $250 and goes toward your surgery if it is scheduled within three months. Financing is available through Cherry.
How long is the recovery?
Plan on one week off work or school. A small cast stays on the nose for 5 to 10 days, and there is no exercise for one month. Most patients enjoy their new nose by one month. Swelling keeps settling for a year, and the nose keeps refining for 3 to 5 years, longer with thicker skin.
Will I see my new nose before surgery?
Yes. Dr. Naderi uses computer imaging at the consultation to show how your nose could look, so you agree on the plan before surgery.
Can a previous rhinoplasty be revised?
Yes. Many patients come to Dr. Naderi to correct a rhinoplasty done elsewhere. Patients wait at least one year after their last nose surgery. Revision rhinoplasty starts at $45,000 for the surgeon’s fee. Learn more about revision rhinoplasty.
Can filler fix my hump instead of surgery?
Sometimes. Non-surgical rhinoplasty with filler can camouflage a small bump or slightly lift a tip in a short office visit. It is temporary and cannot make a nose smaller.
Is rhinoplasty done under general anesthesia?
Yes. Dr. Naderi performs rhinoplasty under general anesthesia in the operating room, and the surgery takes about two hours.
Do patients travel to Dr. Naderi from out of state?
Yes. Patients come from New York, Florida, California and abroad. Most start with a virtual consultation, arrive one to two days before surgery and stay for one week afterward. See our guide for out-of-town patients.
Where does Dr. Naderi see Jewish rhinoplasty patients?
At both offices of The Naderi Center: Reston, Virginia, and Chevy Chase, Maryland, a short drive from Bethesda, Potomac and Washington DC.
