The clinic offers several surgical and non-surgical options for nasal correction. Surgeons perform structural, preservation, and ethnic rhinoplasty. They also handle revision procedures for patients with prior unsuccessful surgeries. Non-surgical options include hyaluronic acid fillers and Botox for subtle changes.
Specialists use Piezo ultrasonic technology for precise bone shaping. This method relies on ultrasonic waves to cut bone tissue. Because it spares surrounding vessels and nerves, patients experience less swelling and trauma. Many patients return home the same day.
Surgical planning involves 3D computer simulations. Patients can see potential post-operative results during consultation. For closed rhinoplasty, surgeons make incisions only inside the nostrils. This prevents visible scarring and speeds up healing.
