5D Rhinoplasty

logo mark
At Noses and Necks NYC, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Anil Shah has pioneered the 5D Rhinoplasty—a next-generation approach that reshapes the nose in five key dimensions to create natural-looking results that enhance both front and profile views. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty techniques that often focus solely on reducing the size of the nose, the 5D method addresses nasal projection, symmetry, contour, and proportion to bring the nose into better harmony with the rest of the face.
This high-precision technique is ideal for patients seeking more than just a smaller nose—it’s designed to reduce nasal prominence while preserving or improving airflow, creating a nose that looks balanced from every angle.

How 5D Rhinoplasty Is Planned

Every 5D rhinoplasty begins with a comprehensive facial analysis, evaluating the nose from the front, profile, and ¾ angles to ensure full aesthetic harmony. Based on your anatomy and goals, Dr. Shah may recommend an open or closed approach—with open rhinoplasty offering greater access for complex reshaping and closed techniques leaving no external scar for more subtle refinements.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout.

What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can be performed using either an open or closed approach, each with distinct advantages. In an open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made along the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), allowing for greater visibility and precision in reshaping nasal structures. This technique is often preferred for more complex cases requiring significant structural modifications.

In contrast, a closed rhinoplasty involves incisions made entirely inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. This approach typically results in a shorter recovery time and is ideal for patients requiring more subtle refinements. Dr. Shah determines the best approach based on each patient's unique nasal anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring a customized and natural-looking outcome.

What can I expect during rhinoplasty recovery?

Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the days following the procedure. While initial improvements will be noticeable early on, full results develop gradually as the nose heals. Most patients return to their daily schedule within two weeks, however activities that are more physically strenuous or that could potentially cause injury to the nose should be avoided until cleared by Dr. Shah.

Patients are sent home with comprehensive instructions designed to promote optimal incision healing and a smooth recovery process. To learn more now, please visit the following rhinoplasty aftercare page.
