Nose reshaping surgery
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose, performed for functional reasons, cosmetic reasons, or both. Functional rhinoplasty is required when a patient has significant breathing problems — the goal is to improve the nasal airway and it usually doesn't cause much alteration in the appearance of the nose. Cosmetic rhinoplasty reshapes the nose while maintaining structure; individual goals vary greatly so it is important to discuss your goals with your surgeon. Our surgeons use open structured rhinoplasty techniques to ensure results that last.
