What Patients Say
★★★★★
A few words from rhinoplasty patients of Dr. Rousso and Dr. Adams.
I am so happy to be able to breathe well through my nose again! Definitely recommend this place.
I think my nose looks fabulous and have gotten many compliments on how natural it looks. That is exactly what I was going for.
Dr. Rousso made my nose look completely natural again after a previous surgeon did not.
He gave me a beautiful nose! I would refer him to anyone!
My experience with Dr. Rousso was immeasurably better. He took the time to meet with me multiple times.
He is a wonderful surgeon and made my nose and eyes look perfect, but still very natural.

02 Reasons as personal as your profile
Why Patients Consider Rhinoplasty
No two noses, and no two reasons, are alike. Whether your goals are cosmetic, functional, or both, thoughtful rhinoplasty begins with understanding what matters most to you.
Improve Facial Harmony
The nose sits at the center of your face. Subtle changes can bring your features into proportion and let your eyes and smile stand out.
Correct Asymmetry
A crooked or deviated nose, whether from genetics or healing, can be straightened for a more symmetrical, natural appearance.
Address Concerns From Injury
Past trauma or a previous break can change both how the nose looks and how it functions. Reconstructive planning can restore both.
Breathe More Easily
When a deviated septum or internal structure limits airflow, functional rhinoplasty can improve breathing while refining appearance.
Revise a Prior Result
If an earlier surgery left you unhappy or struggling to breathe, revision rhinoplasty is a specialized path back to confidence.
The Craft
Surgical precision, guided by an artist's eye for balance.
03 What thoughtful rhinoplasty can offer
The Difference It Can Make
More Balanced Proportions
A nose that complements, rather than competes with, your other features.
A Refined Bridge & Tip
Smoother profile lines and a more defined, natural-looking nasal tip.
An Improved Profile
Side-view balance that photographs naturally from every angle.
Enhanced Facial Harmony
Subtle refinement that brings the whole face into quiet balance.
Greater Ease in Photos
Comfort and confidence in the moments that used to make you self-conscious.
Better Breathing
When medically appropriate, improved airflow alongside aesthetic refinement.
04 Refinement that honors your heritage
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Ethnic rhinoplasty refines the nose while preserving the features that connect you to your heritage. Techniques built around a single facial ideal can leave a nose looking pinched, overly upturned, or out of step with the rest of the face. Our surgeons plan differently.
Dr. Rousso and Dr. Adams account for differences in skin thickness, cartilage strength, and proportion, using open or closed techniques chosen for your goals. The aim is a result that looks subtle, natural, and unmistakably you, refining only what you want changed.

07 The questions worth asking before you decide
Common Patient Concerns
It's natural to have hesitations. Here are honest answers to what patients tell us they think about most.
Will my nose still look like me?
That is the goal. Our approach favors subtle, balanced refinement over dramatic change, the aim is a nose that fits your face and looks natural, so people notice you, not your surgery.
How much downtime is needed?
Most patients take about one to two weeks before returning to work and social activities. Swelling subsides gradually, with the most noticeable changes early and final refinement continuing over the following months.
Will rhinoplasty affect my breathing?
When breathing is a concern, functional and structural goals are planned together with aesthetics. The intent is to preserve, and often improve, airflow, not compromise it.
How do I choose the right rhinoplasty surgeon?
Look for facial plastic surgery specialists with focused rhinoplasty experience, board certification, an accredited facility, and before-and-after results that look natural. Your consultation is the place to confirm all of this.
What if I already had nose surgery?
Revision rhinoplasty is more complex than a first procedure, and it deserves a specialist. We evaluate scar tissue, prior changes, and both appearance and function before recommending a realistic plan.
