Results are subtle but meaningful, helping patients feel more comfortable in their bodies.

We offer ENT procedures that improve both function and appearance. Whether you’re having trouble breathing, dealing with sinus issues, or want to address ear structure, our team can help restore balance and comfort.
- Rhinoplasty – Refines the nasal shape and may also improve breathing when needed.

Each procedure is done to protect function and improve day-to-day breathing comfort.

FAQs About Cosmetic Procedures
- Am I a good candidate for cosmetic surgery?
You may be a candidate if you’re in good health and have realistic expectations. A consultation helps confirm what procedures may be right for you.
- How is cosmetic surgery different from plastic surgery?
Cosmetic surgery focuses on appearance. Plastic surgery also includes reconstructive procedures for medical needs. Some procedures overlap both areas.
- Will I need time off after surgery?
Yes, but the length varies. Some procedures, like eyelid surgery, may need a week. Others, like facelifts, may require two to three weeks.
- Are non-surgical treatments safe?
Yes, especially when done by trained professionals. Side effects are usually mild and temporary. We’ll explain everything clearly before your appointment.
