What Is Rhinoplasty?

what-is-rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose for aesthetic improvement, functional correction, or both. It can involve adjusting the bone, cartilage, skin tissues, or nasal airway to create a nose that fits harmoniously with the rest of your face.
Most patients seek rhinoplasty to correct:
  • A low or flat nasal bridge

  • A round or bulbous tip

  • A crooked or asymmetric nose

  • Wide nostrils

  • Droopy or undefined tip

  • Hump or dorsal irregularities

  • Breathing difficulties

  • Previous unsuccessful nose surgery

Our surgeons ensure that every transformation looks natural, balanced and uniquely suited to you.
