RHINOPLASTY
Enhance Your Appearance, Feel Empowered, Breathe Easier...
For many, their nose is something they overlook. However, if you find that you don’t like the appearance of your nose or can’t breathe through your nose or both, you are a candidate for rhinoplasty. We can address both nasal breathing and outer appearance in the same surgery to deliver a nose you love that also works the way it should! Our philosophy is that the nose should not attract attention to itself; it should complement your face and bring out other features like your eyes and smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Rhinoplasty is commonly thought to be a procedure to enhance the aesthetic outcomes of one’s appearance (nose job). However, it also refers to functional procedures (ie, procedures to help with breathing). You may have come across the two most common rhinoplasty approaches: endonasal (closed) or external (open) rhinoplasty. Both are considered acceptable approaches and each have their pros and cons. Dr Khayat performs the open approach as it allows for the most flexibility to achieve the desired functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty outcomes.
