What Rhinoplasty Can Address

Rhinoplasty is designed to improve a wide range of concerns related to nasal appearance and function.

  • A prominent or uneven nasal bridge, helping create a smoother and more balanced profile.
  • Wide or bulbous nasal tip, refining shape for a more proportionate appearance.
  • Size concerns where the nose appears too large or small relative to other features.
  • Structural issues that may affect breathing, improving both form and function.
  • Nasal asymmetry, improving alignment and overall facial harmony.

Types of Rhinoplasty

Your provider will determine the most appropriate technique based on your needs.

Open Rhinoplasty

This technique involves a small incision at the base of the nose, allowing for greater visibility and precision during more complex reshaping.

Closed Rhinoplasty

All incisions are made within the nostrils, resulting in no visible external scarring and often a shorter recovery time.

Functional Rhinoplasty

This approach focuses on correcting structural issues that affect breathing, often combined with aesthetic refinement.

How Long Do Rhinoplasty Results Last?
