Rhinoplasty Techniques & Specialized Procedures

Our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in various rhinoplasty techniques to meet diverse patient needs

Open rhinoplasty involves an external incision across the columella for better surgical access, while closed rhinoplasty uses only internal incisions. Board-certified plastic surgeons determine the best approach based on nasal tip refinement needs and nasal bridge modifications. Open technique offers better visualization for complex cases, while closed preserves columella integrity with faster recovery.

Specialized techniques for Hispanic rhinoplasty preserve ethnic features while enhancing facial harmony. Our surgeons understand nasal structures unique to Latino and Hispanic patients, including thicker skin, different cartilage patterns, and specific aesthetic goals. We focus on natural results that respect cultural identity while addressing concerns like nasal tip refinement or bridge augmentation.

Combination procedures address both cosmetic concerns and breathing issues. This includes septoplasty for deviated septum correction, turbinate reduction for improved airflow, and nasal valve repair. Our surgeons expertly balance functional improvements with aesthetic goals, ensuring better breathing without compromising appearance. Many patients experience life-changing improvements in sleep quality and daily comfort.

Modern piezoelectric technology and ultrasonic rhinoplasty methods reduce tissue trauma, minimize swelling, and provide more precise nasal structure modifications. This advanced technique uses ultrasonic waves to sculpt bone without damaging soft tissues, resulting in less bruising, faster recovery, and more predictable results. Ideal for patients seeking minimal downtime with maximum precision.
