Our procedures

Every nose, its own plan.

One area of practice, several paths into it. Each procedure is planned around how you breathe and how your face is shaped — together, by an ENT surgeon.

01The approach

What is possible for your anatomy — explained before anything is decided.

There is no single template here. Before a plan is drawn, the septum and the airway are assessed, so the way your nose looks and the way it works are designed together — never traded against each other.

02All procedures

Choose the path that fits your nose.

From aesthetic reshaping to the functional ENT work behind comfortable breathing — seven focused procedures, one specialist.

Send a few photos and we’ll tell you, plainly, what suits your nose — and what does not. No deposit, no obligation, a reply within one working day.

03Questions

Choosing between procedures.

What is the difference between rhinoplasty and septum deviation surgery?+
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for appearance; septum deviation surgery (septoplasty) corrects the septum to improve breathing. As an ENT surgeon, Dr. Pelen can assess both and, when it makes sense, address shape and airway in the same operation.
What’s the difference between a Barbie nose and a Signature nose?+
Both are aesthetic rhinoplasty done with the open technique. A Barbie nose aims at one specific trend look — small, upturned and well-defined. A Signature nose is the opposite of a template: every detail is designed individually around your own face, for a refined, natural result that still looks like you.
What’s the difference between rhinoplasty and tip plasty?+
Tip plasty reshapes only the tip of the nose and leaves the bridge untouched, so it is more targeted and often has a lighter recovery. A full rhinoplasty reshapes the whole nose. If you like your bridge but want the tip refined, tip plasty is usually the better fit — and we’ll tell you honestly which one suits you.
I only want my breathing fixed — do I need rhinoplasty?+
Not necessarily. If the concern is purely functional, septum deviation surgery may be enough on its own. The aim is the right operation for the right reason — never more surgery than you need.
How do I know which procedure suits me?+
Send a few photos for an honest first opinion. The recommendation is based on your anatomy and your goals — and we will always be clear about what is realistic.
