WHAT IS DR. HU'S APPROACH TO RHINOPLASTY?

Dr. Hu’s goal is to provide the aesthetic changes to your nose that you desire. This may mean a very natural, nuanced look or a more stylized appearance. Regardless, she has an in-depth understanding of the key role the nose plays in balancing your facial features, and she will sculpt a nose that is customized to you.

Dr. Hu is a classically trained sculptor, which allows her to appreciate subtle nuances in form and function that are essential to achieving masterful rhinoplasty results. She has an excellent sense of aesthetics and brings this expertise to the techniques she employs, making sure to remove and add just the right amount to different aspects of the nose in order to achieve the ultimate refinement. Additionally, with Dr. Hu, your rhinoplasty is performed precisely and naturally the first time around, avoiding costly revision procedures.

HOW IT WORKS

ESTABLISH YOUR GOALS

Dr. Hu will begin your consultation by listening to your concerns about your nose and discussing the results you would like to achieve.

She always takes care to thoroughly explain the different areas of the nose and how to implement the desired changes using specific surgical techniques.

Full nose examination and imaging

Next, Dr. Hu will take a full health history and perform a complete examination of your nose, both inside and out. This will help determine if there are any structural issues interfering with breathing or contributing to external abnormalities. With this information, Dr. Hu will create a tailored plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Additionally, we can show you the potential results of these surgical techniques with our specialized imaging software! This allows us to promote an open dialogue as we progress to the next steps.

Prepare for surgery

Finally, Dr. Hu and her clinical team will discuss the details of the surgery, pricing, how to plan for it, and what to expect after.

Rhinoplasty is performed on-site in a state-of-the-art private operating suite at AIREM. Sedation is administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, and the procedure will take around 2 hours. Following this, you will recover in a private room for a few hours. Once you are awake enough, a family member or friend can escort you from the facility back home. For the first 24 hours following surgery, it is recommended that someone be available to take care of you.
