Rhinoplasty, nose job, fat transfer, facial implants
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure for improving the appearance of the nose, either by removing a bump, refining the tip, changing nose’s length or width or to improve breathing.The scar is usually very discreet, hidden inside the nostrils. If you are looking to improve the overall appearance of your profile, the rhinoplasty can be associated with a fat transfer or a facial implant procedure. In this way, we can increase the volume of your cheekbones or chin to create a balanced and better proportioned profile. For more complex cases, maxillofacial surgery is indicated to modify the proportions of the facial bones. Some cases don’t require surgery but just a simple hyaluronic acid injection to even out small bumps or correct apparent nasal deviation.
