Rhinoplasty isn’t about picking a nose from Instagram—it’s about creating balance and preserving function unique to you. 

Dr. James Koehler explains that while many patients bring in celebrity photos for wish pics, real results depend on each person’s unique anatomy and structural limits.

He and Kirstin break down common misconceptions, surgical techniques, and what recovery looks like. 

From open and closed techniques to newer preservation approaches, Dr. Koehler explains how he keeps results looking natural while helping you breathe and heal better. He also touches on fillers for nose reshaping, sharing why they can be risky and why surgery is usually the safer, more lasting option.
