What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose for cosmetic or functional purposes.
It can refine the nasal profile, adjust the tip, straighten the bridge, reduce humps, or correct breathing issues caused by a deviated septum (septoplasty).
Rhinoplasty is not just about appearance — it's about achieving facial harmony and improving quality of life.
Types of Rhinoplasty We Offer
🔹 Aesthetic Rhinoplasty: For nose shape, tip, hump, size, and symmetry
🔹 Functional Rhinoplasty: To correct breathing problems or septal deviation
🔹 Revision Rhinoplasty: For patients unsatisfied with previous nose surgery

🔹 Ultrasonic (Piezo) Rhinoplasty: Precision reshaping with minimal trauma

Surgical Overview
Techniques:
🔸 Open Rhinoplasty: Incision at the columella (between nostrils) for full access
🔸 Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions inside the nostrils for minimal visibility

The surgeon sculpts bone, cartilage, and soft tissue to achieve the ideal structure.
