Your Rhinoplasty Experience at John Diaz, MD
Consultation & Nasal Exam
Sit down with Dr. Diaz for a full-hour discussion of your goals and concerns. Bring photos of noses you admire to illustrate your ideal outcome. We’ll address your questions about the procedure and expected results.
Next, Dr. Diaz examines your nose inside and out using a lighted nasal speculum. This helps identify any breathing issues or potential surgical complications, and guides treatment planning.
Simulation
Using VECTRA® 3D imaging, Dr. Diaz creates a computer simulation of your nose. You’ll see side-by-side comparisons of your current nose and potential outcomes. He’ll explain the techniques he plans to incorporate into your treatment using an anatomical model.

Rhinoplasty FAQs
How long will I be swollen after rhinoplasty?
Most visible swelling subsides within 2-4 weeks. Your nose will continue to refine and settle into its final shape during this time. Be patient, as the full results of your rhinoplasty may take 12-18 months to fully manifest.
Will I have visible scars from my rhinoplasty?
For closed rhinoplasty, there are no external scars. This is Dr. Diaz’s preferred approach since it utilizes scars made inside of the nose. The scars can not be seen in this position and it is why his technique is referred to as the “Invisible Rhino.”
How much does a nose job cost in Los Angeles?
In Los Angeles, rhinoplasty costs typically start at $8,000 and increase above that depending on the surgeon’s expertise and the complexity of the procedure. At our practice, rhinoplasty starts around $18,000. This reflects Dr. Diaz’s extensive experience and our fully accredited surgical facility. Remember, investing in a skilled surgeon often leads to better results and can help avoid costly revisions. We offer flexible financing options to help make payments more manageable for your budget.
Can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?
Avoid resting glasses on your nose for 6 weeks post-surgery to prevent altering your results. During this time, you can use tape to attach your glasses to your forehead or opt for contact lenses. After 6 weeks, gradually reintroduce wearing glasses, starting with short periods and increasing as comfort allows.
When can I exercise after rhinoplasty?
Light activity can resume after 2 weeks, but avoid strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks. This includes avoiding activities that increase blood pressure to your face, such as bending over or lifting heavy weights. Always listen to your body and Dr. Diaz’s specific instructions for your case.
Will rhinoplasty change my smile?
Temporary changes may occur due to swelling, but your smile should return to normal within a few months. Some patients may notice slight changes in upper lip movement, but this typically resolves as swelling decreases and tissues settle.
How long do I need to take off work?
Most patients return to work after 2 days if they work remotely and 7 days if they work in an office. If your job involves physical labor or being in the public eye, you might need more time off. Dr. Diaz will provide personalized recommendations based on your specific procedure and recovery progress.
Can rhinoplasty help with my snoring?
If snoring is due to nasal obstruction, rhinoplasty combined with septoplasty may help. However, not all snoring is caused by nasal issues. A thorough evaluation is necessary to determine if rhinoplasty could potentially improve your snoring.
Is rhinoplasty painful?
Rhinoplasty recovery is much easier than people think. It is not a painful procedure. In fact, most patients will report that the recovery is similar to having a cold. There may be some achiness and stuffiness of the nose, but pain is rarely reported. Medications will be prescribed to manage any discomfort, and many patients find that over-the-counter pain relievers are sufficient after the first few days.
Can I combine rhinoplasty with other procedures?
Yes, rhinoplasty is often combined with procedures like chin augmentation or neck liposuction to enhance the overall facial balance. Combining procedures can often lead to synergistic results. Dr. Diaz can discuss which combination of procedures will work best for you.
