Introduction
Changing your nose isn’t just about changing how it looks. It can also improve your breathing, boost self-esteem, and bring a sense of symmetry to your face. According to a U.S. market analysis, about 350,000 nose‑reshaping procedures are performed each year in America.1
That’s why Dr. Abraham Pathak, at his Purchase, NY, office, provides tailored rhinoplasty using his open-technique approach to allow precise control over the nasal structure, producing natural-looking results for his Purchase, Westchester County, Greenwich, New York, and the greater Tri-State area clients.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes, reduces, or refines the nose to improve its appearance or function.
A global survey released in 2024 by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) found that rhinoplasty still ranks among the top face‑and‑head procedures worldwide, at roughly 1 million cases.2
Functional rhinoplasty focuses on improving nasal breathing by correcting internal structural issues.
Patients with a deviated septum, weak cartilage, or airway obstructions can benefit from this procedure. The surgery improves airflow, reduces nasal congestion, and can even decrease snoring.
Revision rhinoplasty is performed on those who have had previous surgery and are unhappy with the outcome or have ongoing functional issues.
These procedures are more complex because prior surgeries may have altered the cartilage and bone.
Liquid rhinoplasty is a non-surgical option that uses dermal fillers to smooth bumps, lift the tip, or improve symmetry.
It can refine the appearance of the nose, harmonize facial features, and allow patients to preview changes before committing to surgery.
Dr. Pathak’s rhinoplasty procedure is suitable for patients who are physically healthy and seeking improvement in the appearance or function of their nose. Ideally, you’ll often have:
Dr. Pathak evaluates each patient individually to ensure rhinoplasty meets their goals while maintaining facial balance and functionality.

Your first step toward a rhinoplasty in New York and the Tri-State area at Dr. Abraham Pathak’s Purchase, NY practice is a private consultation. Dr. Pathak will take the time to understand your rhinoplasty goals, review your facial anatomy, and discuss both surgical and non-surgical options with you. He will also want to evaluate your nose, skin thickness, bone structure, and overall facial balance to determine the best approach.
This is also the time to review your medical history, discuss any breathing concerns, and discuss any previous nasal procedures, if applicable. Dr. Pathak will explain the procedure in detail, including anesthesia options, recovery expectations, and potential outcomes.
Dr. Pathak will start by reshaping the underlying bone and cartilage, removing or repositioning tissue as needed, and refining the nasal contours as needed.
Since he uses an open technique, a small incision is made across the tissue between the nostrils, allowing for precise sculpting. Unless a liquid rhinoplasty is chosen, he will inject filler where needed.
Afterwards, your nose will need to be supported with a splint, and soft dressings may be applied to help maintain shape and reduce swelling.
Your Guide to Post-Rhinoplasty Care
During your initial recovery, you’ll experience mild swelling, bruising around the eyes, and nasal congestion. To help, keep your head elevated, apply cold compresses, and follow Dr. Pathak’s care instructions to reduce discomfort and speed healing.
Patients can usually return to their lighter daily activities within a few days, but exercise and contact sports should still be avoided. The nasal splint will be removed within 1 week, and most visible swelling and bruising will subside within 2 to 3 weeks.
The cost of a rhinoplasty in Purchase, Westchester County, Greenwich, New York, and the greater Tri-State area will depend on the complexity of the procedure, the techniques used, and whether it is combined with other treatments. Anesthesia fees, surgical facility costs, and post-operative care may also affect pricing.
During your consultation, Dr. Pathak provides a personalized cost estimate based on your goals and nasal anatomy. Financing options may be available to help make the procedure more accessible, allowing patients to achieve their desired results with confidence.
