Bespoke, Elegant Refinement

At Privé Beverly Hills, rhinoplasty is carefully personalized to create a refined nose that complements your facial structure, identity, and natural features. Dr. Catherine S. Chang, MD, FACS, performs each nose job with meticulous attention to facial balance, function, and long-term results for patients throughout Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, CA.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Dr. Catherine S. Chang, MD, FACS, is a world-renowned rhinoplasty expert with a deep understanding of facial anatomy. As a craniofacial specialist, she believes in preserving each patient’s unique heritage and identity while enhancing their best features.

Rhinoplasty, often called a nose job, reshapes the nose so it better complements the face. It can also improve breathing for patients with a deviated septum or other structural issues.

Rhinoplasty can refine both the upper, bony portion of the nose and the lower, cartilage portion. Dr. Chang uses two techniques:

Open rhinoplasty, which uses a small incision across the columella, the narrow strip between the nostrils
Closed rhinoplasty, which is performed entirely inside the nostrils with no external incisions

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

Dr. Chang performs rhinoplasty under IV twilight sedation, without general anesthesia, so you remain comfortable and relaxed throughout your procedure.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Many patients feel self-conscious about the appearance of their nose. Rhinoplasty can help with:

Correcting a deviated septum
Improved breathing
A nose sized in proportion to the face
Facial balance and harmony
A refined nasal bridge and profile
Removal of a dorsal hump
Refined nostril width and size
A refined nasal tip

Reviews

What Our Clients Say

After many hours spent looking at pictures, studying surgeons' credentials, reading reviews and staring at my aging face, I chose Catherine Chang, MD for my facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasty and CO2 laser procedure. It was a leap of faith that came with great anxiety in the midst of a pandemic year. My first visit with Dr. Chang was unhurried and she took the time to explain the procedures she was recommending as well as the results that could be expected. Her confidence and understanding were reassuring. Dr. Chang is a skilled surgeon, talented and perceptive. She understood what I was looking for. State of the art results: Dr. Chang is an amazing young woman, a perfectionist.

Dr. Chang is AMAZING. I’d had incredibly severe breathing issues my whole life—I’m talking sinus headaches, blurry vision, absolutely *no* airflow through one side of my nose—all from an extremely deviated septum. On top of everything else, the septum issue created a huge bump in my nose that proved to be very problematic for my career as a performer. As a woman of color, finding a doctor who could improve my quality of life, adjust my profile, but simultaneously honor my heritage and my ethnicity was a terrifying thought. I wanted to solve my problem, but I wanted to come out looking like me. I was overwhelmed by the fear of not being heard—as I’d had many other experiences where my dignity as a patient was clearly not the priority.

Dr. Catherine Chang changed my life. At 43, I unfortunately had aged prematurely in my lower face and neck and was so unhappy with my changing appearance. I had met with a couple of other surgeons but was too scared to trust them with such a big surgery. Not only is Dr. Chang professionally incredible but she is also cool and sweet as can be and every office visit is a joy. I am so grateful I found Dr. Catherine Chang!

"Dr. Chang is absolutely amazing. I am beyond happy and thankful that I chose to have my procedure with her! Words can't describe how happy I am! My recovering was less than 3 days! Same day I was already on my feet! I only took pain medication for about a day. I recovered so fast, not a single issue. Now the best part is the results, the result is INCREDIBLE. Exactly what I wanted! Thank you Dr. Chang!!!"

"Dr. Catherine Chang is a masterful plastic surgeon! I cannot say enough about how happy I am with the results of my recent surgery! I have "cred" as they say because I'm in the business of medical aesthetics--a Registered Nurse in this field since the early 2000's. I have been extremely fortunate to work with legendary plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills. Thank you Dr. Chang for restoring this face and neck!"

"Dr. Cat Chang is amazing! I wish there were more than 5 stars I could give her. After years of contemplation, I went ahead and had the rhinoplasty (nose job) I have always wanted with Dr. Chang. I could not be more pleased with the results! I love my new profile, it is exactly what I hoped for!"

"Simply put, Dr. Chang is phenomenal on so many levels! It was such an easy decision to choose her to perform my breast implant replace and lift surgery. Apart from having a "rock star" academic resume, upon meeting her I was immediately impressed as she has a very caring demeanor, is personable, professional, compassionate, but most importantly, incredibly experienced and knowledgeable."

Achieve Natural Results

Rhinoplasty is one of the most transformative facial procedures, and reshaping the nose is a skill that takes years to perfect. Quadruple Ivy League trained facial plastic surgeon Dr. Catherine Chang, MD, FACS, has devoted her career to facial anatomy and understands the balance and proportion required to achieve each patient’s goals while maintaining her signature natural look: smooth contours and refined features that flow with the rest of the face.

Dr. Chang is known for her meticulous attention to detail and for placing incisions where they are virtually undetectable.

Rhinoplasty Recovery

Most of Dr. Chang’s patients return to work within 1 to 2 weeks. Swelling, redness, and bruising are normal, along with mild tenderness and bruising on the cheeks and under the eyes.

An external splint protects and supports your new nose, and internal packing is usually not needed. The splint and any remaining stitches are typically removed after one week.

You will notice a meaningful improvement in the shape of your nose after the first week. As swelling continues to resolve, your results will keep refining, and full resolution of swelling can take up to a year, and this varies from person to person.

Am I A Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can be performed for cosmetic reasons, functional reasons, or both. Some patients want a smoother bridge and more balanced profile; others need to correct a deviated septum or a previous nasal injury to breathe better. Dr. Chang considers:

Age
Facial anatomy
Overall health
Expectations for results
History of prior rhinoplasty
History of nasal trauma

If you are in good health and have realistic expectations, you may be a great candidate for rhinoplasty.
