Cosmetic and Functional Rhinoplasty Center

About the center

Commonly referred to as a “nose job” or nasal reshaping, the goals of rhinoplasty may be entirely cosmetic, entirely functional, or include both cosmetic and functional goals.

• A cosmetic rhinoplasty seeks to improve the appearance of the nose, so that it better harmonizes with other facial features.
• A functional rhinoplasty, or nasal valve correction, aims to optimize airflow through the nose and sinuses to alleviate nasal obstruction.

Rhinoplasty surgeries that have both cosmetic and functional goals may be done together as a dual functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty. Our surgeons work closely with colleagues in the Sinus Center in these surgeries to address any sinus disease. This partnership allows patients to have only one surgery, which limits the recovery period, time under anesthesia, and time away from work.

For all patients considering nasal surgery, it is critical to balance the surgeon’s knowledge of nasal function with your cosmetic goals.

Services we provide:

• Cosmetic rhinoplasty: for patients unhappy with the appearance of their nose
• Functional rhinoplasty: For patients with nasal obstruction that cannot be corrected with medical management or correction of a deviated septum alone
• Dual rhinoplasty: For patients with nasal obstruction and separate cosmetic concerns
• Nasal reconstruction: Addresses a wide range of nasal defects
• Revision rhinoplasty: Corrects an unsatisfactory outcome for a prior rhinoplasty
