Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, improving facial harmony by refining the shape and size of the nose. It can remove a dorsal hump, refine the tip, correct deviations, and preserve or even improve breathing function.
Both specialist surgeons at Se Rokh — Dr. Hashemi (rhinology fellow) and Dr. Yousefian (general & cosmetic surgeon) — perform this procedure. The final shape is designed to match each patient's unique facial structure — a result that is beautiful without looking operated.
