Nasal Aesthetic Surgery FAQs
1. What is Rhinoplasty, and who is a good candidate for it?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping or resizing the nose to enhance facial balance or improve breathing. Candidates typically include individuals dissatisfied with the size, shape, or symmetry of their nose or those with structural issues, such as a deviated septum, affecting their breathing.
2. What is Revision Rhinoplasty, and why might it be needed?
Revision rhinoplasty, or secondary rhinoplasty, is performed to correct or improve the results of a previous nose surgery. This procedure may be needed to address aesthetic concerns, functional breathing issues, or complications such as scarring or asymmetry after the initial surgery.
3. What makes Ethnic Rhinoplasty unique?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized approach tailored to individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds. It respects and preserves ethnic features while making aesthetic improvements to create natural-looking results that harmonize with the patient’s overall facial structure.
4. What is a Barbie Nose Job, and what does it involve?

5. What is Septoplasty, and how does it differ from Rhinoplasty?
Septoplasty is a functional surgical procedure that corrects a deviated septum to improve airflow and alleviate nasal obstruction. Unlike rhinoplasty, which primarily focuses on aesthetic improvements, septoplasty is geared toward improving nasal function and breathing.

Non-Surgical Treatments FAQs
1. What is a Non-Surgical Nose Job, and how does it work?
A non-surgical nose job involves the use of dermal fillers to reshape or lift the nose without invasive surgery. It can address minor imperfections such as a dorsal hump, asymmetry, or drooping nasal tip, offering immediate results with minimal downtime.
2. What is Lip Filler, and what can it achieve?
Lip fillers are injectable treatments designed to enhance the lips’ shape, volume, and symmetry. They can create a natural or dramatic look depending on the patient’s preferences, correcting unevenness and adding definition.
3. What is Midface Filler, and who can benefit from it?
Midface fillers restore lost volume in the cheeks and under-eye area, which naturally decreases with age. This treatment can rejuvenate the face, enhance contour, and create a youthful appearance.
4. What is Temporal Filler?
Temporal fillers address volume loss in the temple area, which can occur with aging. This treatment helps to create a smoother, more balanced transition from the forehead to the cheeks, enhancing facial harmony.
5. How long do filler treatments last, and are they safe?
The duration of fillers depends on the type of filler and the area treated, typically lasting between 6 to 18 months. They are considered safe when performed by a qualified professional, as they use biocompatible materials like hyaluronic acid.
6. What is Non-Surgical Lip Lifting?
Non-surgical lip lifting uses dermal fillers to subtly elevate the upper lip, creating a lifted and defined appearance without surgery. It is an excellent option for those seeking a less invasive alternative to a traditional lip lift.
7. Are the results of non-surgical treatments reversible?
Yes, most fillers are reversible. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if the patient desires changes or removal.
