Rhinoplasty Surgery
Feel more confident in your profile with a nose that fits your features
Rhinoplasty, often called a nose job or nose reshaping surgery, is a popular procedure that changes the shape and structure of the nose. Whether you’re hoping to smooth a bump on the bridge, refine the tip, or fix breathing issues, rhinoplasty can be customized to fit your goals.
At Layliev Plastic Surgery in Long Island, Dr. John Layliev takes a personalized approach to every rhinoplasty procedure. He aims to enhance your natural features, not change who you are. By balancing proportions and preserving what makes your face unique, he helps patients achieve results that feel just right.
Am I a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
You might be a good fit for rhinoplasty if you’ve always felt self-conscious about the size or shape of your nose, or if it affects how well you breathe. Maybe your nasal tip feels too round, or your bridge has a bump. Some patients are concerned about wide nostrils or a crooked appearance that throws off facial balance.
Rhinoplasty could be a great option as long as you’re in good health and have realistic expectations. Dr. Layliev works with patients across Long Island to ensure that the decision to proceed is informed, confident, and exciting.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Rhinoplasty is done under general anesthesia, so you’ll be completely comfortable. The surgery usually takes a couple of hours, depending on how much reshaping is needed. Dr. Layliev will use either an open or closed technique depending on your anatomy and goals.
He might refine the tip, smooth or straighten the bridge, adjust the size or shape of your nostrils, or make structural changes inside the nose to improve breathing. It’s all about creating a nose that looks natural, functions well, and fits your face beautifully.
What Is Recovery Like?
Recovery takes time, but it’s a manageable process. Expect some swelling, bruising, and stuffiness in the first few days. A splint is placed on your nose for protection and is typically removed after a week.
Most people return to their routine within seven to ten days. Swelling decreases gradually over the next few months, and your final results will keep improving as everything settles into place.
What Are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty isn’t just about changing your nose—it’s about helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin. The results can be gratifying if you’ve never liked your profile or want to breathe better.
Many of our patients say rhinoplasty helped them feel more balanced, more confident in photos, and more at ease knowing their nose finally reflects how they see themselves.
How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost in Long Island?
The cost of rhinoplasty depends on the complexity of the surgery and whether it’s done for cosmetic, functional, or both reasons. Every nose is different, so Dr. Layliev will create a personalized plan and give you a clear breakdown of pricing during your consultation.
We’re also happy to talk about financing options to make the process easier and more affordable.

“I highly recommend him”
I had a liquid rhinoplasty done today by Dr. Layliev. I found him to be extremely professional and an artist at what he does. He takes so much time to make sure that whatever procedure he performs is perfect and exactly what the patient wants. I highly recommend him and will be returning in the future.

“I am so happy with the results!”
Dr. Layliev did a great job performing a liquid rhinoplasty on my nose. I had a traditional rhinoplasty 6 years ago but had broken my nose about 6 months after the operation, leaving a small dent on the bridge of my nose. Dr. Layliev injected the area with some filler and now it is completely smooth and I am so happy with the results! I would definitely recommend this procedure to anyone who is a candidate.

“Great Experience”
This was my first experience with plastic surgery and I didn’t know what to expect. I couldn’t have been luckier to find a surgeon like Dr. Layliev. We discussed what changes I wanted to my nose, he gave his suggestions and made sure my voice was heard throughout the whole process. Thanks to his patient coordinator, Jessica, who handled all the logistics with the surgery. She’s such a sweet person and really helped answer my myriad of questions.
To keep a long story short: I’m 3 weeks post-op and my nose looks better than I could’ve imagined. You’re in good hands.

“Dr.Layliev is very knowledgeable”
Dr.Layliev is very knowledgeable, has the patience of a saint, is extremely compassionate, and has a wonderful bedside manner. I had yet to meet a doctor that I trusted until I met him, which is saying a lot because I’m very nervous and paranoid to have anyone touch my face and perform any sort of facial reconstruction due to the fact that I don’t want my whole face to change. It’s extremely important to me to have natural results. I’m super picky, and he stressed that he believes in the goal to have natural results as well. I’ve witnessed nose jobs gone wrong, as well as heard horror stories of people having multiple rhinoplasties because doctors had messed up or made patients look like their noses are made of plastic (no pun intended). I’m pretty sure I drive him crazy with my personality, but he is so very kind whenever I see him. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that he’s good-looking. I’m very happy with this practice and all who work in the office, so thank you, everyone!

“Broken Nose Needed Repair”
I had been considering rhinoplasty since I broke my nose many years ago. I met Dr. Layliev once and casually mentioned this to him. He answered my questions before I had even scheduled my consult. I felt very prepared and post-op went smoothly. I love my new nose and couldn’t stop looking in the mirror the first few weeks. I wish he was still nearby so I could get more cosmetic work done and recommend him to my friends! I would consider traveling to have him do my work vs finding a new surgeon. That’s how pleased I am with his work and also him as a person.
