General Anesthesia
Dr. Zarrabi offers tip rhinoplasty to refine the nose for better definition and aesthetic balance. Our patients in California can benefit from this procedure because it is performed with piezo ultrasound technology that provides maximum safety and excellent results. With an artistic vision, Dr. Zarrabi creates natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s facial features and goals. Our tip rhinoplasty can refine the nose for better facial harmony and inner confidence. It is important to note that we do not offer tip rhinoplasty as a standalone procedure—it is always performed as part of a full rhinoplasty to ensure proper structure, proportion, and long-term results.

Tip rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery that reshapes the bulbous or drooping tip of the nose. This procedure involves making small incisions to access and refine the cartilage structure. Depending on the patient’s needs and aesthetic goals, the surgeon can achieve subtle or dramatic changes in the nose shape. On average, this operation takes 1-2 hours to perform under general anesthesia. It brings substantial improvements and makes patients more satisfied with their appearance. Because changing only the tip without addressing the rest of the nose may lead to imbalance or an unnatural result, tip refinement is incorporated into a full rhinoplasty when performed at our practice.
Open rhinoplasty involves an incision in the columella, a vertical strip of tissue between the nostrils. The surgeon lifts the skin and sees the underlying nasal anatomy. The open approach provides greater control…
Dr. Zarrabi uses the piezo ultrasound technique to maximize the safety and effectiveness of his cosmetic surgery. It involves a piezoelectric device that generates ultrasonic vibrations to sculpt cartilage and bones. In rhinoplasty procedures, the piezo technique enables the surgeon to make precise corrections with microscopic accuracy. This leads to better shaping and protection of the overlying soft tissues.
The piezo technique also prevents trauma to adjacent blood vessels and results in virtually no bleeding during surgery. With its precision and efficiency, our piezo device allows for easier, safer, and more controlled sculpting of the nasal framework, leading to better post-operative outcomes.
Before rhinoplasty, the patient has a thorough consultation with Dr. Zarrabi to discuss their goals and expectations for the procedure. The surgeon evaluates the facial features and nose structure to develop a treatment plan. He examines skin thickness, the shape of cartilages, nostril placement, underlying nasal bones, and other anatomical aspects. Dr. Zarrabi determines if grafting material is needed from the patient’s ear cartilage. Pre-operative 3D imaging helps visualize nasal anatomy and simulate projected results. As part of a full rhinoplasty, tip reshaping is carefully planned in relation to the bridge, nostrils, and overall nasal structure to achieve a balanced and natural result.
Dr. Zarrabi makes small incisions either inside the nostrils (an open rhinoplasty) or at the base of the nose between the nostrils (a closed rhinoplasty). These small openings in inconspicuous places provide access to create a more rounded tip.
Through the incisions, Dr. Zarrabi can see the lower lateral cartilages supporting the nose tip. Using a piezo ultrasound device and other tools, the surgeon carefully trims, peels back, sutures, and reshapes these structures to change the projection and proportions of the tip according to the patient’s aesthetic goals. After that, the nasal skin is redraped over the newly created framework. This step is coordinated with any additional refinements made during the full rhinoplasty to ensure cohesive nasal shaping.
Dr. Zarrabi may also perform a septoplasty. This involves trimming and repositioning portions of the nasal septum (the cartilage and bone between the nostrils) to allow better airflow through the nose. Other procedures can correct nostril flaring or collapse. These adjustments are typically part of the broader rhinoplasty plan and tailored to each patient’s anatomy and function.
Once the reshaping is complete, Dr. Zarrabi closes the incisions with delicate sutures. He uses dissolvable stitches, which do not need to be removed later. The nose is then supported with a splint to maintain the new structure as it heals following the full rhinoplasty procedure.
Tip rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia to ensure that the patient is comfortable and immobile during the surgery. The anesthesiologist delivers intravenous medications to cause a state of unconsciousness before the procedure begins.

Rhinoplasty, often called a “nose job,” is a popular plastic surgery in the United States. More than 47,000 procedures were performed in 2023, and this number continues to grow each year. Rhinoplasty allows surgeons to make subtle yet transformative changes to the nasal tip.
Here are the main advantages of this surgery:
These benefits are maximized when tip reshaping is done as part of a full rhinoplasty, which is the standard approach at our practice.
The cost of tip rhinoplasty in California ranges from $10,500 to $20,000. Several factors affect the overall price of this procedure. Surgeon’s fees make up some part of the cost, depending on the doctor’s reputation and experience. The procedure’s complexity and techniques also impact the total price. Generally, tip rhinoplasty is cheaper than a standard nose job. Our focused approach modifies the tip shape and profile without touching the bridge and other areas. However, we can address the entire nose if needed. Since we do not offer tip rhinoplasty as a standalone service, the total cost reflects a complete rhinoplasty procedure that includes tip refinement as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
When budgeting for tip rhinoplasty in California, patients should schedule a consultation with Dr. Zarrabi. He will perform an in-depth evaluation and provide an accurate price quote for each person. To make our services more convenient and affordable, we offer flexible financing via Cherry and CareCredit.
