Rhinoplasty is a powerful surgical technique that can revolutionize a patient’s profile by redefining the size and shape of the nose. While rhinoplasty focuses primarily on improving the aesthetics of the nose, the surgery is also employed to correct structural issues, providing the patient with better sleep and easier breathing.

Elegant Nose Refinement
As the focal point of the face, the nose plays an important role in terms of balancing the features and creating a bridge from the smile to the eyes. Those dealing with a disproportionately large nose, or other aesthetic issues such as an unshapely nasal tip or large nostrils, may find rhinoplasty to be an ideal solution for their concerns. The procedure can provide a more elegant, youthful look and a significant uptick in self-confidence.

Types of Rhinoplasty
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Here, the objective is to give the nose a new aesthetic that better matches the other facial features. The procedure focuses on treating issues such as a dorsal hump, a bulbous or drooping tip, or flaring nostrils. Once the nose is given a new look and shape, it functions as a liaison between the smile and the eyes, enhancing overall attractiveness. While the primary goal is never purely functional changes, breathing may be less restricted after surgery.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty aims to remove blockages in the nasal passageways, resulting in improved breathing and sleep. This surgical procedure can treat a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, and other issues. While surgery is primarily designed to address structural issues, there are some cosmetic benefits as well. Many patients choose to combine their cosmetic and functional rhinoplasties to achieve an overall higher quality of life.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Ethnic rhinoplasty is designed to treat nasal issues in patients of various ethnic backgrounds. The goal is to correct issues in the nasal tip, bridge, and nostrils while preserving the patient’s unique heritage and ethnic background. Patients of Middle Eastern, African, Asian, and Hispanic descent can all benefit from our customized approach. Patients today have more options than were previously available, as surgeries of the past often focused on achieving results best-suited for patients of European descent.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is a procedure to correct or enhance the outcomes of a previous nose job. In some cases, the plastic surgeon may have removed too much cartilage and bone, resulting in structural collapse. There is also the possibility that the original changes did not do enough to meet the patient’s goals. Regardless of the situation, patients must wait at least a year before judging the final outcomes of the procedure, as any remaining swelling in the area can distort the nasal shape.
