Rhinoplasty
MJ Paciorek PLASTIC SURGERY What is Rhinoplasty (Nasal Surgery)?
If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your nose—or struggled to breathe easily—know that you’re not alone. Rhinoplasty is a personalized, delicate procedure that can enhance your natural features while improving nasal function. Whether you’re here for a subtle cosmetic change or to correct something that’s been bothering you for years, we’ll walk you through the process with honesty, compassion, and care. Our goal is to help you look and feel your best—inside and out.
What This Procedure Can Improve:
- Length or width of the nose
- Bumps or dips on the bridge
- Drooping or bulbous tip
- Wide or flared nostrils
- Asymmetry or irregular shape
- Angle between the nose and upper lip
- Breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum
How Rhinoplasty Works
We offer both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques. Open rhinoplasty involves a small external incision for greater precision; closed rhinoplasty uses incisions inside the nose for minimal visible scarring. Your plan will be fully personalized.
