Improving the Shape & Function of Your Nose in Dallas, TX
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve how it looks, how it works, or both. Dr. Sarah Saxon treats every nose individually — softening a bump, refining a wide or drooping tip, straightening a crooked bridge, or opening a restricted airway — with the goal of a result that suits your face rather than a template. Because the nose sits at the center of your profile, small and precise changes make the biggest difference, which is exactly why technique and experience matter here.
Dr. Sarah Saxon offers rhinoplasty consultations and follow-up care at her Dallas, TX satellite office. All surgical procedures are performed at a fully accredited surgical facility in Austin — meaning Dallas-area patients get the convenience of local consultations with the same precise, natural-looking results Dr. Saxon is known for.

The Purpose of Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty Corrects
- Deviated septum

- Injuries or birth defects
- Unwanted nostril shape or size
Aesthetic Rhinoplasty
Aesthetic rhinoplasty focuses on enhancing the nose’s appearance to achieve facial harmony. Dr. Saxon meticulously sculpts and reshapes the nose, addressing imperfections like humps, wide nostrils, or an undesired tip. The goal is to provide patients with a natural-looking nose that complements their unique facial features and boosts their self-confidence.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty addresses breathing issues and structural abnormalities within the nose. Dr. Saxon employs this procedure to correct deviations like a crooked septum, nasal valve collapse, or enlarged turbinates. The primary aim is to enhance nasal function, ensuring patients experience improved airflow and respiratory health.
Common Reasons Patients Get a Rhinoplasty
- Dorsal hump – a bump on top of the nose
- Flat dorsum - the top of the nose is too flat
- Bulbous tip - the tip of the nose is too wide
- Crooked nose - either congenital or from a broken nose in the past
- Overprojected tip - the tip of the nose comes out too far from the face
- Wide nostrils - the bottom of the nose is too wide, making the entire nose look larger
- Breathing issues

Primary Rhinoplasty vs Revision Rhinoplasty
Depending on your goals and anatomy, Dr. Saxon performs the procedure through a closed or open approach, as either a primary or a revision rhinoplasty. A primary rhinoplasty is a first-time procedure on a nose that hasn’t had prior surgery. A revision corrects or refines the result of an earlier operation and is typically more demanding — the kind of complex case Dr. Saxon’s specialization is built for.
Dr. Saxon’s
Unique Rhinoplasty Approach
Dr. Saxon starts by studying the structure and proportions of your nose and listening to what you’d change. From there she builds a plan specific to you, never a stock procedure, balancing the look you want with preserving or improving how you breathe. Her aim is a nose that reads as natural and unoperated, in proportion with the rest of your face.
What to Expect After Rhinoplasty
- Rest adequately and elevate your head to reduce swelling.
- Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least two weeks.
- Follow any prescribed medication routines, especially antibiotics, to prevent infections.
- Stay away from direct sunlight and wear sun protection to prevent discoloration.
- Refrain from wearing glasses or sunglasses directly on the nose for the first few weeks.
- Limit facial expressions that require a lot of movement, such as laughing or frowning.
- Clean the surgical area gently as directed by Dr. Saxon to prevent infections.
- Monitor for signs of complications, including excessive swelling or unusual discharge.
- Stay hydrated and consume a balanced diet to promote healing.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they can hinder the healing process.
- Attend all post-operative appointments to ensure proper healing and address any concerns.
- Protect your nose from potential injuries; be cautious around pets and small children.
- Seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing or severe pain.
In the first days, plan to rest and keep your head elevated to limit swelling, and hold off on strenuous activity while you heal. Most patients feel presentable within a week or two, while the finer details of the shape keep refining over several months as residual swelling settles. Dr. Saxon’s Dallas office handles your follow-up visits, so your aftercare stays close to home.
Rhinoplasty FAQs
How long is the recovery period after rhinoplasty?
Initial recovery runs about a week, and most people are back to normal activities within two weeks. Skip strenuous workouts for roughly a month. The nose keeps refining for several months afterward, depending on your body and the technique used.

Will I have visible scars after rhinoplasty?
A closed rhinoplasty places every incision inside the nostrils, so there’s nothing visible. An open rhinoplasty adds one small incision across the columella (the strip between the nostrils), which Dr. Saxon keeps discreet — it fades over time until it’s hard to spot.
Can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?
Keep glasses and sunglasses off the bridge of the nose for the first few weeks so they don’t press on the healing structure. Dr. Saxon will let you know when it’s safe to wear them again.
When will I see the final results after rhinoplasty?
You’ll notice a difference once the early swelling goes down, but the true final shape usually takes about a year to emerge as the nose fully heals and settles.
How much does rhinoplasty cost?
Cost depends on the complexity of your case and whether it’s a primary or revision procedure. Dr. Saxon gives you an exact quote at your consultation — Saxon MD is cash-pay and offers financing.

What complications can occur after rhinoplasty?
Bruising and swelling are expected. Less common risks include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, and breathing changes — all of which Dr. Saxon reviews with you beforehand and works to minimize through careful technique.
