There are three main types of rhinoplasties: primary, revision, and functional. Primary rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape of the nose, but if there are poor results, a revision rhinoplasty can correct and improve the initial surgery. A functional rhinoplasty straightens the nose to open the airways and improve breathing. Rhinoplasty used to be associated with teenage girls wanting to fix their noses, but there are so many people who want rhinoplasties for a wide variety of reasons! Every person is unique, and whether you are looking for a more masculine or feminine nose or want an ethnic rhinoplasty to honor your heritage, a rhinoplasty can be designed for you.

Today’s Best Options for Nose Job (Rhinoplasty)
Our team focuses on cosmetic rhinoplasty but can also perform a functional rhinoplasty to straighten the septum and improve breathing. In functional rhinoplasty, special attention is given to improving the nasal airway by addressing internal structures that regulate airflow.
Botox
Botox smoothes fine lines and wrinkles to correct skin imperfections on the nose before or after surgery and improve the overall appearance of your nose. Botox can also lift a drooping nasal tip by releasing the muscles that cause the tip to contract.

During a closed rhinoplasty, incisions will be made inside the nose to manipulate and reshape the inner cartilage and bone. This method can be used for individuals hoping for subtle changes and often results in less swelling since there is less manipulation of the nasal structure.
Septoplasty Surgery
A septoplasty is often done as a functional procedure to correct a deviated septum or crooked septum. The septum is the wall that separates the two nostrils and when it deviates, this can impair the airways and make it difficult to breathe.
During septoplasty, the nasal floor acts as a key supporting structure, providing the lower boundary of the nasal cavity and contributing to overall nasal support. Understanding the nasal blood supply is crucial in septoplasty, as the region is highly vascularized and careful management reduces the risk of bleeding. The posterior ethmoid arteries, which originate from the ophthalmic artery, are important contributors to the blood supply of the nasal septum and must be considered during surgical procedures.
Open Rhinoplasty Surgery
Our team prefers open rhinoplasty because this technique gives him a better view of the whole nasal structure, including the nasal passages. It is the dominant technique used by many plastic surgeons. During an open rhinoplasty, incisions are made outside the nose to peel back the skin and open the entire nose. This approach allows for direct visualization and management of the nasal muscles and external nasal valves, which are crucial for maintaining nasal function and achieving optimal aesthetic results. This outer incision is made on the soft tissue between the nostrils so that it can be easily concealed after surgery.
