Surgical Procedures

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, is a highly individualized procedure designed to improve both the function and appearance of the nose. Many patients seek rhinoplasty to address structural issues that can affect breathing—such as a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or post-traumatic deformities—often in combination with subtle aesthetic refinements to improve balance and harmony with their overall facial features.

Dr. Chin takes a tailored, detail-focused approach to every rhinoplasty, with an emphasis on natural, understated results. Each procedure is thoughtfully designed to address both internal structural concerns and external aesthetic goals, creating a refined contour that complements your unique facial features rather than overpowering them.

By restoring internal support and correcting structural issues, rhinoplasty can improve airflow, reduce nasal congestion, and enhance day-to-day comfort. When combined with subtle aesthetic refinement, patients often achieve results that feel both functional and naturally integrated within the overall facial structure.

What to Expect

• Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Chin will use either a closed approach (incisions hidden inside the nostrils) or an open approach (a small incision along the columella between the nostrils) to access and reshape the nasal framework. Cartilage may be repositioned, refined, or grafted as needed to improve both function and appearance.

• Most patients return to work or school within 7–10 days, with improvements in breathing as early as the first few weeks of recovery. Swelling will continue to subside over several months, and final results can be appreciated once healing is complete.
