Rhinoplasty, also known as nose reshaping surgery, is a procedure designed to improve both the function and appearance of the nose. Many patients seek rhinoplasty to correct structural issues that interfere with breathing, such as a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or post-traumatic deformities, while others choose it to refine the nose’s shape for better balance with their facial features.

Dr. Chin customizes each rhinoplasty procedure to harmonize with each patient’s natural features, sculpting a contour that enhances the natural look of the nose.

By addressing internal blockages and structural issues, rhinoplasty can lead to better airflow, reduced nasal congestion, and improved overall quality of life. Patients who also had cosmetic refinements often find that their nose now feels naturally balanced with their other facial features.

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.
