If you are troubled by a nose that is crooked or out of balance with the rest of your face, you may want to consider rhinoplasty also called a nose job. Many people from Washington, DC; Chevy Chase and Bethesda, MD; Arlington and Fairfax, VA; and surrounding areas benefit from this nose-reshaping and often life-changing procedure. Our rhinoplasty specialists perform cosmetic nose surgery to change or improve the shape of the nose. It is also used in conjunction with a septoplasty or turbinate reduction procedure to correct nasal breathing problems. When this procedure addresses functional problems, your insurance may cover some of the costs.
Patient underwent nasal tip deprojection to shorten her elongated tip, tip refinement and elevation, dorsal hump reduction, and correction of nostril asymmetry. Patient also had a septoplasty and internal cartilage grafting done to improve her breathing.
Rhinoplasty can be done once nasal growth is complete. In girls, this usually occurs by age 13 and in boys, by age 16. It can be done at any age for deformities or issues that develop over time or result from injury.

Why Choose CPS for Rhinoplasty?
Center for Plastic Surgery has developed a unique and in-depth facial consultation process called FACE360. Our rhinoplasty patients see a plastic surgeon, aesthetic nurse, and aesthetician during their initial consultation so our team can develop a comprehensive plan for achieving the best result for each patient. The initial consultation also includes computer imaging to show patients a simulation of possible results. After surgery, all of our patients are seen by their surgeons to assess the healing process, address concerns, and answer questions. No other practice in the area offers such a comprehensive and detailed program.
A Reputation Built on Results
Dr. Kanari is an outstanding plastic surgeon, supported by an incredible team of professionals and healthcare staff. Within a month, we not only developed a surgical plan to repair my severely damaged nose, but also addressed two other medically necessary facial procedures.
He took all the time I needed during my consultation, performed the surgery flawlessly, and his post-operative care has been exceptional. Even better, because the procedures were medically necessary, they were fully covered by my insurance.
I highly recommend Dr. Kanari to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and knowledgeable plastic surgeon.

Dr Kanuri was so pleasant and kind to work with.. He let me show him pictures of what my vision was for rhinoplasty and he got it exactly how I wanted it!
It was also comforting having him reach out to me directly a couple of times after my surgery to check in on me.

I recently had a septoplasty/rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Kanuri, and I am so happy with the results! The entire process was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. Dr. Kanuri truly understood my vision and brought it to life perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would definitely return for any future plastic surgery needs!

Dr. Kanuri is a true gem! He has changed my life, and I am forever grateful. Thank you to the whole team at CPS (Sherrie, Angel, and the 2 wonderful nurses who assisted).
I was extremely nervous about having any type of procedure at all, but after 8 years of living with my nose after a mohs procedure, I finally decided to have a consultation. I was also bothered by my eyelids folding over my eyelashes and constantly looking tired, so I asked if I was a good candidate for blepharoplasty.
Dr. Kanari was honest with what kind of results I could expect, and set my mind at ease with his knowledge and approach. He was confident that I would be a good candidate.
The morning of the procedure, he met with me again and asked if I had any questions or concerns. The evening of the procedure, he personally checked to make sure I was doing all right. Who does that, right?
If you have ANY reservations about any type of procedure, please know that you are in the best and most caring hands with Dr. Kanuri.
I am one week out and look and feel terrific! Why did I wait so long?

I recently underwent a transformative rhinoplasty and neck lift procedure performed by Dr. Arjun Kanuri, and I am beyond thrilled with the outstanding results. Dr. Kanuri’s expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail truly set him apart.
From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Kanuri and his team demonstrated a commitment to ensuring my comfort and satisfaction. The rhinoplasty beautifully enhanced the harmony of my facial features, and the neck lift provided a rejuvenated and natural appearance.
Dr. Kanuri’s skillful hands and artistic approach exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Arjun Kanuri for anyone considering cosmetic procedures; his talent and dedication to patient satisfaction make him a standout in the field.
Thank you, Dr. Kanuri, for your exceptional work and the renewed confidence you’ve given me.

Dr. Kanuri and the entire staff at CPS were so wonderful throughout the process of my rhinoplasty. I was referred to him by my Dermatologist. The office is warm and comfortable. I was consistently seen earlier than my appointment time as I typically arrived early. Dr. Kanuri greets you warmly and listened closely to my questions and concerns. The Surgical Suite staff were outstanding and I can’t thank them enough! Dr. Kanuri was in contact with me after surgery, offering his time and support during my recovery. He reiterated his availability to my husband, should he have any questions or concerns. I felt totally supported and safe during the entire process. I have already referred a friend to the practice. I am thrilled with the results of my procedure! Thank you, Dr. Kanuri and the entire staff at the Northern Virginia office.

Dr.Kanuri has been nothing but amazing throughout this process. Not only am I very pleased with my results, his bedside manners made me very comfortable before surgery. Even after it was over he constantly checked up on me and made sure I was doing okay. This has been a dream of mine for many years and i’m very thankful that he could make it happen. I would confidently recommend him to anyone interested in having a rhinoplasty/ septoplasty done!
AAmira Hishmeh
I am so happy that I chose Dr. Kanuri at CPS for my rhinoplasty/septoplasty. I had a deviated septum that had been bothering me for many years. At my consultation with Dr. Kanuri, he quickly knew exactly what needed to be done to fix my problem. I showed him several inspiration photos and he was able to achieve exactly what I had imagined. He was very honest and thorough with letting me know what to expect.
I am one month post op and the recovery process was great! Minimal pain at the beginning and with my corrected deviated septum I can finally breathe properly. Dr. Kanuri was very accessible after my surgery. He checked in that night and continued to check in over the next few days. Even one month after surgery I am still able to reach out with questions or concerns and he gets back to me right away.
I was so nervous to finally have my first surgery and I have zero regrets. I love my new nose! I get so many compliments from friends and family on how perfect it looks. 10/10 would recommend Dr. Kanuri for anyone looking for a stunning, natural result!

He also follows up and is consistently responding which is very important! 10/10

Getting a rhinoplasty was a very emotional decision for me. I have dreamed about it for at least 20 years. But never had a gut to just go and do it. I went to few surgeons before I chose Dr Kanuri. None of the doctors made me feel as comfortable and as confident about making my decision as Dr Kanuri. When I met Dr Kanuri for a consultation for the first time he made me feel so confident in him, I felt so sure that he should be the number 1 choice for my surgery. He is extremely knowledgeable and very caring about every single patient he has. We went into all details on the initial consultation about what my goals were. He explained to me a variety of options ( cosmetic look, software look options) so I could have a clear picture what to expect. Also, he explained to me all the details of the procedure of rhinoplasty. What really made me love Dr Kanuri is that he is extremely caring and spent as much time with me as I needed. I never felt rushed and I never left our meetings with unanswered questions. After our meetings before the surgery I was very excited for the outcome of my rhinoplasty. On the day of the surgery I knew I was in good hands. He really has a great admirable quality- he knows the way how to put his patients at ease. It was very necessary for me. I went to the surgery in a good and confident mood. The surgery went very well and smooth, as well as the recovery. Right after the surgery Dr Kanuri took time and visited me in the recovery room. He told me a good news- all went perfect! He is amazing. Even before the surgery Dr Kanuri instructed me what to do after the surgery and how to ease the recovery. I followed all the instructions and recovery went very well. Throughout my recovery Dr Kanuri kept contacting me to make sure all is going well and if I needed anything or if I had any questions. He always made sure he was available for any of my questions or concerns. Dr Kanuri made sure that I felt very cared about and that I knew that I was in good hands. I KNEW THAT! I really have never met such an incredible doctor in my life. As for the results- wow! I love my new nose! It is exactly as I have pictured it for myself and exactly as we have discussed with the doctor. It is very naturally looking and perfectly fits my face. Dr Kanuri has magical hands. I would absolutely recommend Dr Kanuri to everyone, and I am very excited for his future patients because they are definitely in good hands! He will definitely change your life FOR GOOD.

Hailey Burkett did an amazing job! This was the best facial I’ve ever had. My skin feels incredible, and she even gave my lips some extra care. I’m so happy with the results!
RRuth Garcia-Andrade
Had the Diamond Glow facial by Hailey & it was fantastic, it was infused with amazing serums. My skin was & is glowing. Hailey set me up with the perfect skin care too! What power hands she has doing the facial massage & neck & shoulder treatment. Left feeling so good. 😊

I highly recommend Dr. Albino. Dr. Albino was very patient and thorough in addressing my issues regarding a facelift. He was very honest and deemed it unnecessary at this time, I appreciate his candor and honesty in not attempting to sell me on an unnecessary procedure. I will continue to have any procedures at this office in the future as his staff is also very nice.
DDiana Ellyn
When I first began my search for a plastic surgeon, I realized that there are a lot of plastic surgeons available in this area but only a small few seem to really enjoy, talk about or specialize in facelifts. When I met Dr Kanuri for my initial consultation, I immediately connected with him, not to mention his wonderful staff, Sherry and Angel, and knew I trusted his insight and skills to do my surgery. He was very honest in telling me what he could not achieve and gave me his recommendations on how to get the best results for me. I’m 3 months post facelift and only wish I had done this sooner. Post care has been great and Dr Kanuri has responded to every concern or question almost immediately. If you are looking for the best surgeon with a warm and caring manner, Dr. Kanuri should be on your list.
CC Collier
10 stars for Hailey! She is professional, caring, personable, and extremely skilled. She carefully listened to skin improvement goals and then crafted a treatment plan to meet them. She has spoiled me for facials forever.
SStephanie Akbari
I had a deep plane face and neck lift , CO 2 laser and fat transfer to my cheeks . The whole experience exceeded my expectations Dr Fleury and his team are exceptional !!
I am thrilled with the results . This is a picture post op Day 5
SSharon Morris
I got three consultations for my upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Dr. Fleury was the most thorough and least aggressive in his approach, listening to my concerns and desired outcome. I elected to have the procedure with only local anesthesia, which was absolutely adequate for me. The procedure was fast, healing took about three weeks, and I am absolutely delighted with the results as I look natural, with no visible scarring, and 100% like a symmetrical rested version of myself (my eyeliner is visible for the first time in years!). I should have done this sooner! I highly recommend Dr. Fleury and his team.
LLisa Beaty
The pre-op meeting with Dr. Kanuri and the OR Nurse was very positive, reassuring, and thorough. They addressed all my questions and concerns. It's a very significant decision to have facelift surgery, and I felt confident that Dr. Kanuri and the professionals involved are highly experienced and knowledgeable.
DDiana Kincannon

I have been seeing Martha for the past five years. She has provided me with all of my facial needs. My skin has been enhanced in color, texture and appearance. She has always worked to accommodate my schedule and is extremely warm and friendly. An exceptional person in all aspects!
RRJM
Just had a Harmony facial and it was one of the best facials I’ve ever had. Skin is still glowing.
KKaren Restani
My facial was out of this world. Such a profound difference in my skin.
RRenise Leresche
My sister and I both had facelift procedures (lower face/neck) with Dr. Kanuri and are extremely happy with the results. Dr. Kanuri put us at ease with his calm demeanor and knowledgeable and professional approach. In addition to the facelifts, he recommended fat transfer to fill out areas that had thinned out with age. We are so happy to look again like how we feel - i.e., with some years removed! Dr. Kanuri explained everything clearly in the pre-procedure appointments, and after the surgery he followed up to be sure everything was ok and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. He even provided his personal phone number. The nurses, anesthesiologists and staff members we dealt with were also very attentive, professional and helpful, and the office is sparkling and beautiful. The whole place inspires confidence! We can highly recommend Dr. Kanuri and CPS. A friend of ours had had a facelift with him and she looked great, so we went in for a consultation and immediately decided that this was the place and Dr. Kanuri was our doctor. We’re so happy to have found him. Thank you Dr. Kanuri and everyone at CPS!
WWinifred Mackend
I had blepharoplasty done by Dr. Kanuri under local anesthesia and I'm delighted to recommend him without reservation. He talked me through the entire procedure while it was in progress. The surgery was flawless and the scars cannot be seen ten days out from the surgery - just incredible. He is pleasant, I never felt rushed in our appointments, and he even gives his patients his cell phone number in case they have questions or concerns after the procedure.

ESTABLISHED EXCELLENCE
Choose the experts that locals know and trust. Our multigenerational practice includes board-certified plastic surgeons who provide the best possible care with state-of-the-art technology.
Incisions are made inside the nose and are closed with dissolving sutures. If the nostrils must be narrowed, there may be small incisions and removable sutures at the nostril rim. These sutures are taken out 5 days after surgery. A splint will be removed about one week after surgery.
How Long Does It Take To Recover From Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty patients typically return to work, school, and other everyday activities after 7 to 10 days. You may participate in non-contact exercise 2 weeks after surgery, but you should avoid contact athletics for 6 weeks.
How Long After Rhinoplasty Will I See My Results?
As most of the bruising and swelling fades over the first 10 to 14 days after surgery, the shape of the nose gradually improves. It typically takes 6 months to a year after rhinoplasty for the nose to be fully healed and reach its new, enhanced shape.
