An Advanced Approach to Stunning Facial Harmony

Rhinoplasty isn’t just about reshaping the nose—it’s about enhancing overall facial balance while maintaining natural beauty. With a preservation-first approach, Dr. Sanaz ensures structural integrity, improved function, and results that never look overdone. Instead of removing excess cartilage, nasal contours are refined with precision techniques that support long-term durability and a seamless, natural look.

Specialized Technique

  • Structural Grafting – Customized cartilage support enhances nasal stability, refines contours, and improves long-term function.
  • Airway Optimization – Dr. Sanaz’s meticulous techniques enhance nasal function while refining aesthetics, resulting in better breathing—and collaborating with renowned sinus specialist Dr. Arjuna Kuperan for more complex cases.

  • Improve their side profile

  • Remove a dorsal hump
  • Adjust nasal tip projection and/or drooping
  • Achieve subtle, natural-looking results
  • Look younger, as our noses tend to look bigger as we age

Patient Testimonials

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Harirchian at my Houston Surgeons. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. Dr. Harirchian’s expertise and genuine concern for her patients, her experience and knowledge are evident in every interaction...My experience with Dr. Harirchian  has been exceptional, and I am incredibly grateful with my results.

Dr. Sanaz Harirchian is so amazing! She is not only sweet and listens to what you want but she delivers! I was so nervous to do this procedure and I know I went to the right doctor. It’s been 4 months since my procedure and I couldn’t be happier. She did exactly what I wanted and gave me a natural look, everyone that has known me says it looks very natural as if I didn’t do a procedure in the first place.

Dr. Sanaz works magic. I did the liquid rhinoplasty in the office. It was a very short, in office procedure. She is completely professional and made me feel at ease because she was so confident in the procedure. She is very gentle and let’s you be involved in every step of the way. Will definitely be back.

I recently had a rhinoplasty done by Dr. Harirchian and she did a wonderful job!! Along with fixing the appearance of my nose, she also did a septoplasty and turbinate surgery to improve my breathing. Dr. H improved the breathing issues 100% and the outside appearance looks completely natural. She is a very caring and compassionate doctor who is great at what she does. She went above and beyond what I expected any doctor to do, she even personally took the time to check on me during my recovery period. Dr. Harirchian is very passionate about her craft. I would highly recommend her. - Anonymous

I looked for a few years for a surgeon to do my rhinoplasty and really liked the work Dr. Harirchian had done on other patients. I decided to choose her after a great consultation that made me feel comfortable and confident that I would get the results I wanted. Minimal bruising, pain, and swelling 1 week post-op. I’m very happy with my results so far and would recommend her for anyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if rhinoplasty is right for me?
If you're unhappy with your nose's shape, size, or function, rhinoplasty may be an option. During your consultation, Dr. Sanaz will assess your nasal structure, educate you on what's possible based on your unique anatomy, and create a personalized treatment plan. She also provides a detailed simulation of your potential results, allowing you to visualize your outcome with confidence before moving forward.
What’s an open rhinoplasty?
Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision at the base of the nose (columella), providing full access to the nasal structure for precise reshaping. This approach allows Dr. Sanaz to achieve meticulous refinements while preserving structural integrity for long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Will rhinoplasty affect my breathing?
In many cases, rhinoplasty can improve breathing if structural issues such as a deviated septum or collapsed nasal valves are present. Dr. Sanaz’s meticulous approach to rhinoplasty naturally results in enhanced breathing.
How long does it take to see my final results?
Initial swelling subsides within weeks, but the final outcome of the nose swelling and contouring is dependent on the thickness of the patient's skin. Thicker skin means it will take longer for the swelling to subside, and the opposite is true for thin-skinned patients..
Will I have visible scars?
For closed rhinoplasty, no external scars. Open rhinoplasty involves a small, discreet incision at the base of the nose.
What is the recovery process like?
Most patients can return to daily activities within 10–14 days, with swelling and bruising significantly improving within the first two weeks. Strenuous activities and contact sports should be avoided for at least six weeks to allow the nose to heal properly.
Can rhinoplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, it is commonly paired with chin augmentation or non-surgical treatments to enhance facial balance.
Does rhinoplasty hurt?
Most patients describe rhinoplasty recovery as more uncomfortable than painful. Rather than sharp pain, the healing process often feels like nasal congestion or stuffiness due to internal swelling, splints, or dried blood that requires gentle cleaning. Some tenderness is expected, but discomfort is typically mild and well-managed with prescribed medication for the first few days, followed by over-the-counter pain relievers as needed.
What’s the difference between surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty (liquid rhinoplasty) uses dermal fillers to temporarily enhance nasal contours without surgery. While it’s a great option for subtle refinements, it cannot achieve the structural changes that surgical rhinoplasty can provide. Dr. Sanaz offers both options and will help determine which is right for you.

Refinement. Balance. Confidence—Designed Just for You.

Subtle changes, lasting impact. With a highly specialized approach to rhinoplasty, natural-looking results feel effortless yet transformative.
