Primary Rhinoplasty

Sculpt Your Ideal Nose

Primary Rhinoplasty at Coastline Plastic Surgery is a transformative procedure that reshapes the nose to improve facial harmony and enhance functionality. Dr. Dunn combines meticulous technique with an artistic eye to tailor the nose’s appearance to the patient’s desired outcome, addressing the bridge, tip, and nostrils, or correcting breathing issues stemming from structural irregularities.

Alongside traditional rhinoplasty, Dr. Dunn also offers non-surgical alternatives like liquid rhinoplasty for those seeking less invasive options. This involves injectable fillers to subtly alter the nose’s shape. During your consultation, Dr. Dunn will discuss all available options to determine the best path for your aesthetic goals.
