Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose surgery or nose reshaping, is one of the most transformative procedures in facial plastic surgery. Whether performed for aesthetic refinement or breathing improvement, rhinoplasty requires both surgical expertise and artistic vision. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Joe Baroud specializes in natural-looking rhinoplasty that improves facial harmony while preserving your identity. Every nose is unique—our goal is to make yours look like the best version of itself.
Rinoplasty is ideal for correcting:
Humps or bumps on the nasal bridge
Wide or crooked nasal shape
Drooping or overly projected nasal tip
Asymmetry or nostril imbalance
Breathing difficulties due to internal structure (deviated septum or airway blockage)
You may be a good candidate if you:
Are bothered by the size, shape, or symmetry of your nose
Experience breathing issues due to nasal structure
Are over 18 years old with fully developed facial bones
Are healthy, non-smoking, and have realistic expectations
