The nose is the central feature of the face — and because of its central position, it shapes how every other facial feature is perceived. A nose that is well-proportioned to the rest of the face draws no special attention to itself; instead, it allows the eyes, lips, and cheekbones to define the patient’s appearance. A nose that is disproportionately large, prominently humped, drooped at the tip, asymmetric, or otherwise distracting becomes the feature that defines the face — often in ways the patient does not want. Rhinoplasty (nose job surgery) is the surgical refinement of nose shape and proportion, and it is one of the most commonly performed facial plastic surgery procedures for both men and women. It is also one of the most technically demanding procedures in plastic surgery — a single millimeter of difference in tip projection, bridge height, or nostril width can dramatically alter the entire facial appearance. The work demands artistic vision combined with deep anatomic precision. Dr. John Anastasatos is a Top Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon widely regarded as one of the top choices for rhinoplasty in Los Angeles, with the surgical refinement and aesthetic judgment this central facial procedure specifically requires.

Dr. Anastasatos performs rhinoplasty with peer-recognized aesthetic surgical authority. Dr. Anastasatos was profiled by the Beverly Hills Courier in a feature titled “Anastasatos turns Body Restoration into art form” — a profile reflecting his reputation specifically for refined aesthetic surgical work, the precise refinement rhinoplasty rewards given how millimeters of difference produce dramatically different outcomes. He has been an invited lecturer at the Royal Society of Medicine in London on advanced facial surgical techniques, with an invited 2026 return as featured speaker. With over two decades of facial surgical expertise in Beverly Hills since 2007, he is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and named by The Luxe Insider as one of the Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in the World.

Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of the nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or modify the angle between the nose and upper lip. The procedure can also correct congenital differences or post-traumatic deformities and relieve functional breathing problems caused by structural issues like a deviated septum. The nose job is one of the most beautiful operations of the face when completed with both artistic vision and surgical skill — ensuring the result looks natural rather than obviously surgical. Because a single small change to the nose affects the look of the entire face, every step of nose reshaping must be conservative, calculated, and matched specifically to each patient’s facial proportions, ethnic heritage, and aesthetic goals. The wrong rhinoplasty produces a face that looks operated-on; the right rhinoplasty produces a face that looks like a more refined version of the patient’s natural appearance.

Reasons for Rhinoplasty or Aesthetic Nose Reshaping

There are a wide variety of reasons patients desire an aesthetic nose reshaping. A nose that is too large and overwhelms the face can be distracting. At the opposite end, a small nose can make the face appear flat and without depth. Some of the objectives of rhinoplasty include:

• Shorten the nose and make it thinner
• Reduce the hump at the top of the nose and make the top straight or add a curve
• Raise the bridge of the nose
• Support the septum
• Create a straight septum or nose
• Refine the nasal tip
• Create smaller nostrils
• Create a nose that fits the patient’s face

Fine-tuning the shape of the nose can make a significant difference in the overall appearance of the face. Like a missing piece of a puzzle, reshaping or resizing a nose can make all the other facial features come together for a more attractive appearance. Dr. Anastasatos is an artist when it comes to facial features and facial balance and he is a top choice for your Los Angeles Rhinoplasty.

Types of Rhinoplasty We Offer

Dr. Anastasatos is a board-certified plastic surgeon with the exceptional surgical skill and artistry needed for performing nose shaping procedures. Every patient receives personalized consultations before their procedure to ensure Dr. Anastasatos understands the desired outcome, so he is able to meet and exceed their expectations. The types of nose reshaping cosmetic surgeries we offer include:

There are two kinds of rhinoplasty operations. The open rhinoplasty and the closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty simply means that there is an incision inside the nose and also part of the incision is outside the nose on the nostril. This outside part can have a stair-step look or a V-shape look. The closed rhinoplasty means that the whole nose reshaping is done via incisions that are all inside the nose. Open rhinoplasty may be preferred in secondary or revision rhinoplasty surgery because it can provide better exposure.

Change Your Look with Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty procedure will have a dramatic impact on your appearance. If you are self-conscious of your nose due to its size or shape, plastic surgery can give you a chance to feel more confident in your appearance. Subtle changes to the nose shape can harmonize your facial features, bringing more attention to your eyes and mouth.

Types of conditions a rhinoplasty can correct are:
