Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves reshaping the nose. Two of the most common reasons for getting a rhinoplasty are correcting a dorsal hump and a hanging nasal tip. We will discuss the reasons why someone might consider a rhinoplasty for these two issues.
Tip refinement, tip rotation, alar base reduction, and improvement of breathing are among the most common reasons why someone might consider a rhinoplasty. We will discuss each of these reasons in detail.
Rhinoplasty before and after male patient Manhattan Rhinoplasty in New York, NY. Dr. Dibelius is a rhinoplasty expert and top surgeon.
Rhinoplasty for deviated septum before and after gallery and case overview. Treated by top rhinoplasty surgeon Dr. Gregory S. Dibelius NYC.
This athletic male in his late 20’s sustained an acute nasal bone fracture while training in martial arts, resulting in significant nasal deviation. The nasal bones were carefully reduced to restore his original pre injury appearance.
This gentleman in his 50’s underwent functional rhinoplasty to restore impaired nasal breathing. He required straightening of the nose and septum to allow adequate airflow through the nose. The tip was elevated as severe tip ptosis (hanging tip) can result in obstructed nasal breathing.
This woman in her 30’s presented for breathing problems, nostril asymmetry, and tip refinement after previous rhinoplasty. Rib graft reconstruction was performed to restore a more natural and functional structure to her nose. Photos are from 3 months after surgery.
Rib graft revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is designed to correct issues that may arise after a previous rhinoplasty procedure that utilized rib grafts. We will discuss why someone might consider this type of rhinoplasty and what to expect from the procedure.
A young woman in her 30’s presented with nasal valve collapse and pollybeak after undergoing rhinoplasty (details unknown) in another country. She underwent revision rhinoplasty with ear and septal cartilage grafting. Photos from 7 months post surgery.
A young man in his 20’s presented for natural hump reduction with improvement of breathing. Open primary septorhinoplasty was performed with care to leave a very natural appearing nose. Photos from 2 months post surgery.
A young woman in her 30’s with previous surgery resulting in nostril asymmetry, breathing problems, and a saddle nose from overresection of the nasal bridge. This was corrected using her own rib cartilage to peform a revision rhinoplasty. Result is 3 months postop.
A young woman in her 20’s presents for primary septorhinoplasty with the goals of correcting a dorsal hump, obstructed breathing, deviation of the nose and nasal septum, while preserving her facial and ethnic identity. Results shown are 3 months after surgery.
A woman in her 50’s with history of prior rhinoplasty who underwent revision surgery with restoration of nasal breathing, correction of nostril retraction, and profile refinement. A rib graft was used to help achieve the desired changes.
A young woman who underwent septorhinoplasty with profile enhancement and straightening of a deviated septum 2 years postoperatively.
Tip refinement, rotation & breathing improvement. Wide Nose Rhinoplasty before and after photos female patient.
This woman in her 30’s presented for correction of a deviated nose and septum due to both congenital and traumatic factors.
Correction of deviation, hump, and tip refinement created a straighter profile with elegant, natural definition.
A revision rhinoplasty was performed using rib cartilage grafting to rebuild structure and support.
This patient in her 50s came to us after seven prior surgeries and severe breathing obstruction caused by an infected implant.
Patient in her 30s sought primary rhinoplasty to refine a wide, bulbous tip while preserving nasal structure and function.

Patient in her 50s sought corrective revision rhinoplasty surgery to repair nasal valve collapse and restore normal tip aesthetics.
Patient in her 30s sought corrective revision rhinoplasty surgery to repair nasal valve collapse and a pinched nasal tip to restore a natural tip aesthetic.

Revision rhinoplasty addresses aesthetic or breathing issues from previous surgeries. Dr. Dibelius applies advanced techniques, including grafting and infection-reduction protocols, to improve healing and achieve natural-looking, functional results.

Functional rhinoplasty improves nasal breathing and overall quality of life. Dr. Dibelius assesses key structures like the septum and turbinates to identify airflow issues, tailoring each procedure to restore function while preserving or enhancing appearance.


The primary focus of Dr. Dibelius’s practice is helping patients obtain an aesthetically beautiful, anatomically functional nose using advanced surgical techniques. Dr. Dibelius takes on a wide variety of cases, from those who are having their first “nose job” to those who have had severe nasal trauma, cancer resections, “botched” cosmetic surgeries, and major breathing issues. He also has specialized training in so-called “augmentation rhinoplasty” – or building up the bridge of the nose, which is a common goal for Asian and African-American patients. Dr. Dibelius is proficient at rib grafting through a minimal incision, which allows him to take on cases considered too complex by many rhinoplasty surgeons.
Ultrasonic technology allows for more precise sculpting of the nasal bones with significantly less trauma, swelling, and bruising than traditional techniques. Dr. Dibelius was the first surgeon in New York City to adopt the FDA-approved Piezo device, offering patients faster recovery and more refined results
