The Nose of Your Dreams
Rhinoplasty is a procedure that involves the reconstruction and reshaping of the nose. This is done for cosmetic purposes if you are unsatisfied with the shape or size of your nose or medical purposes if you suffer from compromised airways due to a medical condition or injury.
Safe and Effective
Good candidates for out Atlanta Rhinoplasty procedures include individuals who are in good health, are done growing, and have realistic expectations for their look. Benefits of Rhinoplasty procedures include:
You should put off getting a Rhinoplasty if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18 or not done growing, or have an underlying medical condition that could affect your healing or have adverse effects under general anesthesia. Schedule your consultation today to ask Dr. Santosa if a Rhinoplasty is right for you.
Tweaks, Refinements & Real Fixes
Rhinoplasty can change how your nose looks and functions, but most people just look for better balance with their other features. Here are a few of the most common things people want to adjust:
Some patients also have breathing issues that can be corrected during the same procedure, more on that during your consultation.
Who This Surgery Works Best For
Most healthy adults who are feeling self-conscious about their nose are likely candidates. It's not just about wanting a smaller nose—it's about wanting it to better fit your face or function more comfortably. Here's what we usually look for:
If you're pregnant, nursing, or have a health condition that affects healing, rhinoplasty might not be the right choice right now. But that doesn't mean it's off the table forever. In your consultation, we'll go over the right treatment for you to be able to reach your goals.
Compassion that Shows
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Katherine B. Santosa, is an approachable and sympathetic professional who prioritizes her patients' welfare. You can count on her to stay in touch with you before, during, and after your surgery to make sure everything goes seamlessly. During your consultation, she will answer any questions about the process.
The Steps to Excellence
You should avoid smoking, drinking, direct sun exposure, and any anti-inflammatory medications two weeks prior to your procedure. This ensures that your body has healthy blood flow for optimal recovery.
Reshaping your Confidence
You can expect a bit of swelling and bruising after your procedure. The bruising will fade within a week or two, but the swelling may take up to three months to completely dissipate. You should avoid strenuous activity, coughing, sneezing, alcohol, smoking, and anti-inflammatory medications to ensure you achieve the best results possible. After about two weeks, most of our Atlanta Rhinoplasty patients find they are ready to confidently return to socializing in public. Full results will occur anywhere from six months to a year after your procedure.
Dr. Santosa offers supplements to her Atlanta Rhinoplasty patients for faster healing of bruises. She will contact you within twenty-four hours of your procedure for a follow-up. She will also give you contact information in order to reach out to her if you ever have any questions or concerns during your recovery.

Dr. Santosa believes in helping people feel like the best version of themselves, not someone else entirely. Her focus is on results that feel natural, balanced, and completely you. She's a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience, research credentials from top institutions, and a reputation for listening closely to what patients want. Her practice is all about high-level care with a personal touch—zero pressure, all honesty.

Pricing Explained
Rhinoplasty costs vary because every nose and every surgical plan is different. Things like technique, the complexity of the changes, and whether you're combining it with another procedure (like a septoplasty or chin contouring) all play a part. The cost includes Dr. Santosa's surgical fee, anesthesia, facility and operating room costs, and post-op care and follow-ups. During your consultation, we'll go over everything, no hidden fees or surprises. We'll also talk about payment plans or financing options if that's something you're interested in.
The placement of the incisions during a Rhinoplasty in Atlanta is taken into significant consideration to not leave behind visible or noticeable scarring. All incisions will be made inside the nostrils or concealed in a way that they will not be seen.
Risks with Rhinoplasty procedures are rare but possible. These risks include excessive bleeding, infection, nerve damage that causes permanent numbness of the nose, and difficulty breathing.
The cost of Rhinoplasty can vary drastically depending on the individual patient’s procedure. The best way to get an exact price is by scheduling your Rhinoplasty consultation, where Dr. Santosa’s team can discuss pricing, financing, and payment with you.
