Town & Country featured Dr. Babak Azizzadeh in its January 20, 2026 article, “The Snob’s Guide to… Nose Jobs,” an in-depth editorial exploring rhinoplasty as one of the most transformative—and technically demanding—procedures in facial plastic surgery.
The article highlights how rhinoplasty, whether subtle or more comprehensive, can dramatically influence facial harmony, balance, and even the perception of youth. While modern rhinoplasty is now considered a safe and routine procedure, the piece underscores that it remains far from simple and requires significant expertise, judgment, and patient selection.
Dr. Azizzadeh emphasizes the importance of intentional decision-making before pursuing rhinoplasty, noting that patients must be emotionally prepared and pursuing surgery for the right reasons. He cautions that rhinoplasty carries both physical and psychological considerations and is not appropriate for individuals who may fixate on imperceptible flaws or struggle with conditions such as body dysmorphic disorder.
In discussing the consultation process, Dr. Azizzadeh explains that an initial rhinoplasty visit is often more comprehensive than patients expect—part medical evaluation, part education, and part emotional assessment. He stresses the importance of understanding how the nose relates to the rest of the face and spending meaningful time aligning expectations.
The article also addresses digital imaging and morphing, clarifying that while these tools can be helpful for communication, they are not guarantees of final outcomes. Dr. Azizzadeh notes that rhinoplasty results can take up to three years to fully mature, depending on factors such as skin thickness, surgical complexity, and whether the procedure is primary or revision.
