The nose sits at the center of your face both visually and structurally. Even small changes to its shape can dramatically affect how people perceive the rest of your features. But when the nose is refined without considering surrounding features, it can throw proportions off.
A beautifully shaped nose can still feel “unfinished” if the chin is recessed, the lips are thin, or the jawline lacks definition. That’s where combination procedures have made their uprising. When rhinoplasty provides the foundation, complementary treatments refine the frame.
For our Beverly Hills patients, the objective is precision. The kind of improvement that makes people say, “You look refreshed,” not, “What did you have done?”
The power of proportion and perspective.
There’s an art to balance. A skilled facial plastic surgeon studies everything from the size and angle of your nose to how it relates to your forehead, cheeks, and chin. If the centerpiece doesn't match the rest of the setting, it's going to stand out. The same sentiment stands for out-of-place nose jobs.
Combining procedures offers several key benefits:
At Eos, this approach is deeply personal. Every surgical plan begins with a thorough facial analysis and an open conversation about what balance looks like for you.
When the nose changes, the chin must keep pace.
Looking at your side profile and feeling like something is “off,” typically means your chin-to-nose ratio isn't balanced the most aesthetically pleasing way. A rhinoplasty procedure that reduces a dorsal hump or reshapes the nasal tip can make a small or recessed chin appear even smaller.
A subtle chin implant or fat grafting to the lower face can restore harmony. By bringing the chin forward a few millimeters, the entire profile straightens, making the nose appear more refined and balanced.
This combination of nose surgery with chin augmentation is one of the most common pairings at Eos Rejuvenation. It’s ideal for patients with strong nasal features or naturally softer jawlines. Instead of simply enhancing your nose, you're able to bring cohesion to your features. Plastic surgery is a delicate game, but when played correctly, you'll be met with symmetry that feels effortless.
Refinement in one feature deserves softness in another.
After a rhinoplasty, subtle changes in the nose’s projection can shift how the lips are perceived. If the nose now feels lighter and more elegant, but the space between the upper lip and base of the nose is long or flat, balance is lost. A lip lift shortens that space, giving the mouth a gentle upward curve and revealing more natural volume. Another option is lip augmentation, either with hyaluronic acid fillers or micro fat transfer, to restore shape and softness.
When performed together, these small adjustments harmonize the entire mid-face, helping the refined nose feel like it’s always belonged.
Structure meets softness.
Your cheeks play a subtle but crucial role in facial balance. After a nose job, refined nasal contours can make the mid-face appear flatter by contrast. Strategically adding volume through fat grafting or cheek implants can create a gentle lift, restoring youthful curvature.
This approach isn’t about fullness—it’s about light. Balanced cheeks diffuse shadows, frame the eyes, and complement the nose’s shape. The interplay between highlight and contour creates visual harmony from every angle.
Sometimes balance starts higher than you think.
For patients with a strong brow ridge or a heavier upper face, refining the forehead can make an enormous difference in facial proportion. A subtle brow lift elevates the brows and smooths the forehead, helping the eyes appear more open. For others, forehead reduction or hairline advancement softens masculine angles, particularly in gender-affirming cases.
When combined with rhinoplasty, these procedures unify the upper and mid-face, creating vertical harmony so the nose no longer feels isolated or dominant.
Where the lower face anchors the upper.
A nose may define your front view, but your jawline defines your silhouette. Neck lift or submental liposuction can sharpen definition beneath the chin, balancing a newly refined nasal bridge.
Even mild skin laxity under the jaw can disrupt facial proportion, especially in profile. When patients combine rhinoplasty surgery with lower-face contouring, the result is cleaner angles and a more structured, elegant appearance.
Harmony isn’t always surgical. Sometimes it’s found in millimeters with an extra whisper of volume at the cheekbone, a softened jawline, smoother texture where light used to catch unevenly.
At Eos Rejuvenation, non-surgical refinement plays just as important a role as the surgical procedures in the operating room. Treatments like dermal fillers can subtly adjust proportion in the lips, cheeks, or jawline without downtime. Laser or skin resurfacing improves tone and texture, allowing the nose to blend naturally into its surroundings. And Botox or Dysport can soften dynamic lines, polishing the overall expression without changing your features.
These touchpoints act like fine-tuning after composition. Delicate, intentional, and often transformative in their restraint. For many patients, these non-surgical techniques extend or complete the results of rhinoplasty once swelling subsides, bringing the face into effortless rhythm.
Precision begins with access.
Every nose tells a different story, and how a surgeon approaches it determines the level of precision possible. In rhinoplasty, access is everything.
An open rhinoplasty creates a fine external incision along the columella, the narrow strip of skin between the nostrils. This grants the surgeon complete visibility of the nasal framework. It’s the technique of choice when reshaping nasal bones, placing cartilage grafts, or correcting more complex issues such as a deviated septum. The tradeoff? A slightly longer recovery, but a world more control.
A closed rhinoplasty, by contrast, keeps incisions hidden inside the nostrils. It’s ideal for patients seeking subtle contour changes or refinement of the nasal tip—achieving transformation through discretion.
At Eos Rejuvenation, Dr. Nima Shemirani performs closed rhinoplasty procedures for primary cases and open rhinoplasty for revisions or complex structural reshaping. During consultation, we’ll discuss which technique suits your anatomy and desired outcome—especially if you plan to combine it with other facial procedures.
Beauty and function can—and should—coexist.
While many patients focus on aesthetic goals, functional rhinoplasty addresses nasal airflow and internal structure. If you have difficulty breathing, chronic congestion, or an obstructed airway due to trauma or a broken nose, this procedure restores nasal function while enhancing appearance.
When combined with cosmetic refinements, the dual benefit is significant: improved form and easier breathing. At Eos, every rhinoplasty performed—functional or cosmetic—respects both structure and aesthetics.
When refinement requires a second look.
While it isn't a combined procedure to restore balance to the rest of your face, a revision rhinoplasty can correct what a poor first surgery may have taken away. If you’ve had a previous nose surgery elsewhere and are dissatisfied with the outcome whether aesthetically or functionally, a revision rhinoplasty may be the surgical approach you need. These cases often involve complex reshaping of nasal tissues, repositioning cartilage, or using rib cartilage grafts for support.
Because revision cases can change how other features appear, many patients pair this with fat grafting, lip refinement, or skin resurfacing to ensure harmony across the entire face. It's important to keep realistic expectations and get with a certified plastic surgeon to discuss what a revision rhinoplasty can do for you, and what they recommend for complimentary work.
Dr. Nima’s extensive experience with closed revision rhinoplasty, a rare specialty in the U.S., gives patients the opportunity for refined correction with minimized trauma and a natural finish. He can go over any additional cosmetic concerns you may have and create the best plan for you.
Harmony is measurable, but also intuitive.
There are scientific ratios for facial symmetry. Proportions between the forehead, nose, lips, and chin that appeal to the eye the most. But real artistry lies in intuition. Balance doesn’t mean identical halves; it means flow.
At Eos, we look at:
Our focus is always on safe procedures that provide the desired cosmetic changes that people are wanting, but we aren't going to lie and say that perfection is guaranteed. Skin and genetic structures are complex, especially the nasal area. We will always strive for getting your nose and other procedures just right, but it's important to bear in mind those realistic expectations.
From consultation to recovery, patience is key.
Your journey begins with conversation. During the initial consultation, our team reviews your medical history, listens to your concerns, and performs a detailed facial analysis. Together, we’ll explore surgical and non-surgical options that create harmony across your features.
Rhinoplasty and any paired procedures are performed under general anesthesia at our accredited Beverly Hills surgical suite. Depending on complexity, surgery lasts two to four hours. You’ll recover in a recovery room before going home the same day.
Expect some swelling and bruising for the first week. Keeping your head elevated and following your post-operative care instructions helps minimize discomfort. While initial results appear within weeks, full refinement can take several months as tissues settle and swelling resolves.
If you’ve added chin or cheek enhancements, healing will follow a similar timeline. Most patients return to work and light activities within 10–14 days.
Precision, experience, and a philosophy of restraint.
With more than 18 years of experience in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Nima Shemirani performs rhinoplasty almost daily using both open and closed techniques, depending on the case. His focus is always balance, not alteration.
Every procedure, whether it’s a primary rhinoplasty, revision surgery, or a combination plan, follows Eos’s guiding principle: do just enough to reveal the best version of you. From young adults to older crowds, Dr. Shemirani has you covered.
By viewing the nose as one piece of a larger composition, Eos Rejuvenation delivers results that feel elevated yet natural. Refined without erasing individuality.
Bring balance and harmony to your features and explore additional treatments and procedures. You may find the solution to a problem you didn't realize you had.
