Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Dr. David Azouz performs cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty at his Dallas practice, addressing nasal size, shape, symmetry, and breathing function. Sub-procedures include standard rhinoplasty, functional rhinoplasty for breathing correction, revision rhinoplasty, deviated septum repair (septoplasty), male rhinoplasty, adolescent rhinoplasty, Asian and ethnic rhinoplasty, saddle nose repair, and nasal fracture reconstruction. Recovery to full strenuous activity takes four to six weeks. An online price estimate calculator is available on the clinic's website.

Azouz Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery offers a comprehensive rhinoplasty programme covering both cosmetic nasal reshaping and functional correction, reflecting Dr. David Azouz's dual expertise in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. Cosmetic rhinoplasty at the Dallas practice addresses a full range of nasal concerns: reducing dorsal hump (the bony or cartilaginous bump on the nasal bridge), refining a wide or bulbous nasal tip, narrowing nasal base width, correcting nasal asymmetry, improving overall nasal projection and rotation, and harmonising the nose with the other facial features in proportion and balance. Functional rhinoplasty targets the internal nasal structures responsible for airflow obstruction — primarily deviated nasal septum (septoplasty) and enlarged inferior turbinates — and is commonly combined with cosmetic reshaping in a single surgical session (septorhinoplasty), allowing patients to achieve both appearance and breathing goals simultaneously. Revision rhinoplasty, one of the technically most demanding procedures in plastic surgery, is also performed at the clinic for patients who have had unsatisfactory results from a prior rhinoplasty and require correction of irregularities, asymmetry, over-resection, or functional impairment introduced by earlier surgery. Dr. Azouz's specialised sub-procedure offerings reflect the ethnic and demographic diversity of the Dallas patient population: Asian and ethnic rhinoplasty uses augmentation and refinement techniques appropriate for nasal anatomy common in patients of Asian, Middle Eastern, African, and Hispanic backgrounds, often employing cartilage grafting from the ear or rib rather than reduction-only approaches. Male rhinoplasty preserves gender-appropriate nasal characteristics — stronger bridge angles, slightly larger overall nasal scale — rather than feminising proportions. Adolescent rhinoplasty is available for patients whose facial skeleton has reached maturity (typically 16+ for females, 17+ for males). Nasal fracture repair and reconstruction following trauma are performed as reconstructive procedures. Recovery following rhinoplasty includes a nasal splint or cast worn for one to two weeks; swelling in the nasal tip persists for twelve months, though the majority of the final result is visible at three months. High-impact activities and contact sports are restricted for four to six weeks.
