Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping Surgery)
Refine your profile, balance your features, and breathe easier with expert surgical artistry.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a sophisticated facial aesthetic procedure designed to reshape, resize, or refine the nose to improve both its appearance and function. It is one of the most transformative and personalized plastic surgeries, capable of enhancing facial harmony, correcting structural issues, and boosting self-confidence. At KD Aesthetic Center, our board-certified surgeons combine meticulous surgical skill with an artistic eye to create natural, balanced results tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Whether you seek to correct a dorsal hump, refine the tip, narrow the bridge, improve breathing, or reconstruct the nose after injury, we provide a compassionate, detail-oriented approach in a state-of-the-art surgical facility.
Benefits of Rhinoplasty
- Improves Facial Harmony: Creates a nose that is in balanced proportion with your other facial features.
- Corrects Structural Issues: Addresses functional concerns, such as a deviated septum, to improve airflow and breathing.
- Enhances Self-Confidence: By refining a central facial feature, patients often experience a significant boost in self-image.
- Dual Aesthetic and Functional Results: Achieves both a more desirable shape and improved nasal function in a single procedure.
- Long-Lasting, Natural-Appearing Outcome: Provides permanent structural changes that blend seamlessly with your natural look.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Rhinoplasty may be ideal for you if you:
- Are dissatisfied with the size, shape, width, or symmetry of your nose.
- Have a nasal hump, drooping tip, or wide nostrils you wish to refine.
- Experience breathing difficulties due to nasal structure.
- Seek correction for a nose injured due to trauma or prior surgery.
- Are in good overall health, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations for your results.
- Have completed facial growth (typically late teens for women, slightly later for men).
Common Rhinoplasty Goals
Rhinoplasty is a highly personalized surgery designed to address a wide range of aesthetic and functional concerns. Common goals patients seek to achieve include:
- Dorsal Hump Reduction: Smoothing a prominent bump on the bridge for a straighter, smoother profile.
- Nasal Tip Refinement: Reshaping, lifting, or reducing a bulbous, drooping, or enlarged tip for better definition and balance.
- Bridge Narrowing: Refining a wide nasal bridge to create a more streamlined, elegant appearance.
- Nostril Reshaping: Adjusting the size, shape, or flare of the nostrils to achieve greater facial harmony.
- Improved Nasal Function: Correcting structural issues like a deviated septum to alleviate breathing difficulties.
- Post-Traumatic or Revision Correction: Restoring symmetry and form following an injury or improving the results of a previous surgery.

Surgical Techniques at KD Aesthetic Center
Our surgeons are skilled in a full range of rhinoplasty methods. We personalize the approach to match your anatomy and goals, ensuring refined and lasting results.
Open Rhinoplasty
- A small incision across the columella (between nostrils).
- Provides maximum visibility for the surgeon.
- Ideal for complex reshaping, major tip revision, or revision rhinoplasty.
Closed Rhinoplasty
- All incisions are made inside the nostrils.
- Leaves no visible external scars.
- Best for minor adjustments like hump reduction, with shorter recovery.
Septorhinoplasty
- Combines cosmetic reshaping with functional correction.
- Corrects a deviated septum to improve breathing.
- Delivers aesthetic and functional improvement in one procedure.
Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty
- Uses advanced piezoelectric technology to sculpt bone.
- Minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues.
- May result in less swelling and a smoother contour (case-dependent).
