Rhinoplasty
Achieve a Balanced, Beautiful Nose with Precision Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to improve the cosmetic appearance of one’s nose. It is often combined with a septoplasty to improve breathing and - potentially - help with snoring.
The size and appearance of one's nose can be very important to the overall symmetry of their face. A nose that is disproportionate to other facial features can take attention away from them and affect general facial balance.
But sometimes, a minor change is enough to make significant improvements.
Whether you are looking to reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip, narrow your nostrils, or remove the dorsal “hump” you might see from the profile view, Dr. Kay can help you.
More info:
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed under anesthesia to reshape the nose’s bone, cartilage, or soft tissues. Dr. Kay uses either an open or closed technique, depending on the complexity of the case. Through small, precise incisions, she refines the nasal structure to achieve both aesthetic harmony and functional improvement. The surgery typically takes 2–3 hours and is done in an outpatient setting.
Rhinoplasty can address a range of aesthetic concerns and functional issues, helping bring the nose into better balance with the rest of your features. Here are the most common concerns treated with rhinoplasty:
Cosmetic Concerns
- Dorsal hump or nasal bump: A raised area on the bridge of the nose, often genetic or caused by injury.
- Drooping, upturned, or bulbous nasal tip: Adjusts the angle, definition, or projection of the tip to better balance facial features.
- Asymmetry or crooked nasal bridge: Straightens or reshapes the bridge for a more symmetrical appearance.
- Wide or flared nostrils: Narrows the nostrils to create more proportionate width.
- Overall nasal size: Reduces or refines the nose to better fit the dimensions of the face.
Functional Concerns
- Deviated septum: Corrects internal misalignment that may block airflow and cause breathing problems.
- Collapsed nasal valves: Repairs structural weaknesses that interfere with normal airflow.
- Enlarged turbinates or other internal obstructions: Improves internal anatomy for clearer breathing.
- Post-traumatic nasal deformities: Restores nasal shape and function after injury or fracture.
- Congenital abnormalities: Corrects birth-related nasal defects affecting function or appearance.

What Our Patients Say About Us
“I’ve been going to Dr. Kay for five years, and the results have been truly life-changing. From fillers (under-eye, jawline, cheeks, lips, temples, chin) to PRP for my scalp and breast augmentation scars, every treatment has been natural, subtle, and customized to my face. As an actress, it's essential my expressions stay intact—at 33, people are shocked I’ve had work done. Dr. Kay is truly the best—her techniques, precision, and global expertise set the standard. Yes, she may be more expensive, but it's worth every penny when it’s your face. I’ve never had to dissolve anything, and my confidence has never been higher. 💖💖”

Thanks to Dr. Kay’s renowned liquid Rhinoplasty, she transformed my nose into my dream look in just 20 minutes! I’m incredibly thrilled with the results, and her supportive staff only adds to the positive experience. My confidence has seen a significant boost. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Dr. Kay!”

“I participated in a Radiesse study for lower face balancing for Dr. Kay’s Modern Aesthetic Theory.
I always appreciate Dr. Kay’s direct communication, professionalism and expertise. I also had her address some changes in under eye filler that I had and wasn’t happy with. You never want to go just anywhere with regard to aesthetics and under eyes. I did wait a while longer than I expected to be seen, however, overall I’m happy with the results. Subtle, and natural.”

“I have been treated by Dr. Kay for the last 8 months doing a Sculptra study.
I had previously been using fillers to help with what I thought was volume loss throughout my face. With this one Sculptra study, Dr. Kay has essentially given me a face lift without using any fillers or adding volume to my face. I trust Dr. Kay and her staff to keep me looking my best without changing my overall look. I’m incredibly happy with my services!.”
