Rhinoplasty San Francisco

Dr. Maas has performed over 3,000 rhinoplasty procedures and is among San Francisco's most experienced nose surgeons. The clinic offers primary, revision, ethnic, post-traumatic, and septorhinoplasty procedures using both open and closed techniques. Revision rhinoplasty accounts for nearly half of Dr. Maas's caseload, reflecting the referral trust placed by patients with complex correction needs. Non-surgical rhinoplasty with dermal filler is also available for patients not ready for surgery.

Rhinoplasty at The Maas Clinic in San Francisco is led by Dr. Corey S. Maas, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has performed more than 3,000 nose procedures across a 30-year career. His expertise spans the full spectrum of nasal surgery — from straightforward primary reshaping to the most technically demanding revision cases — and he has been recognised internationally with the Sir Harold Delf Gilles Award for excellence in facial plastic surgery. Primary rhinoplasty at the clinic addresses concerns including a prominent dorsal hump, bulbous or wide nasal tip, asymmetry, pinched nostrils, projection imbalance, or overall facial disharmony. Both open rhinoplasty — using a small columellar incision for maximum exposure and precision — and closed rhinoplasty performed entirely through intranasal incisions are offered depending on the patient's anatomy and the degree of correction needed. Revision rhinoplasty is a particular strength of the practice. Nearly half of Dr. Maas's rhinoplasty caseload consists of patients seeking correction of prior surgery, including over-reduction, asymmetry, breathing impairment, or cosmetically unsatisfactory outcomes. These cases often require cartilage grafting, structural rebuilding, and scar management that demand a high level of technical skill. Ethnic rhinoplasty preserves cultural identity while refining nasal structure, and septorhinoplasty combines cosmetic reshaping with functional correction of a deviated septum — the functional component may qualify for partial insurance reimbursement. Post-traumatic rhinoplasty addresses nasal injuries from accidents or sports. For patients not ready for surgery, non-surgical rhinoplasty using dermal filler can create the appearance of a smoother profile or a subtly lifted tip without anaesthesia or downtime. Recovery after surgical rhinoplasty involves wearing a nasal cast for seven days, returning to light work at 7–10 days, and avoiding strenuous activity for 2–3 weeks. Full nasal refinement is visible at 6–12 months.
