Rhinoplasty in Waltham & Boston, MA
At Finesse Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that your nose isn’t just a feature — it’s central to your overall appearance and confidence.

No matter the reason, our boutique practice offers a patient-centered experience, where your concerns are heard, your goals guide the plan, and your results are designed to look natural and harmonious.
What is a Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, or “nose reshaping surgery”, or informally a “nose job” is a highly individualized procedure that can improve both appearance and function. At Finesse Cosmetic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeon combines advanced surgical skill with an artistic eye to ensure results that complement your unique features.
Rhinoplasty can take many different forms, depending on your anatomy and goals — from subtle refinements to more transformative changes. In addition to bridge and tip work, some patients may benefit from alar base reduction, which narrows wide nostrils for a more proportionate look.
Depending on your needs, rhinoplasty may involve:
- Refining a hump or bump on the bridge
- Reshaping the tip for better definition
- Straightening a crooked nose
- Narrowing wide nostrils (alar base reduction)
- Correcting structural issues that impact breathing
Benefits of Rhinoplasty
- Achieve natural, balanced facial proportions
- Enhance self-confidence in personal and professional settings
- Improve nasal function and airflow when needed
- Results designed to suit your unique features, never “cookie cutter”
- Performed in a boutique setting with individualized attention
Before & After Photos
Is Rhinoplasty Right for You?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Feel your nose is out of proportion with your face
- Would like refinement of a hump, tip, or wide bridge
- Struggle with breathing due to structural issues
- Want a personalized surgical plan — not a one-size-fits-all solution
- Are healthy and have realistic expectations
Recovery After Rhinoplasty
Recovery is unique to each patient, but most return to work or school within 1–2 weeks. Bruising typically fades within the first couple of weeks, while swelling improves gradually over several months. Final refinement and definition are seen around 6–12 months post-surgery. Throughout the process, our boutique team provides one-on-one support, ensuring you feel cared for every step of the way.
