What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or “nose reshaping surgery,” is a cosmetic and functional procedure designed to alter the size, shape, or structure of the nose. It may be performed for aesthetic reasons, to correct congenital or injury-related issues, or to revise the results of a previous surgery.

At our Las Vegas clinic, Dr. David Kahng combines artistic vision with advanced surgical technique to deliver results that are balanced, natural-looking, and aligned with your facial proportions.

Asian Rhinoplasty

Many patients of Asian descent seek subtle nasal refinement while preserving their cultural identity. Asian rhinoplasty typically involves building up the nasal bridge, refining the tip, or narrowing the nostrils—always with sensitivity to individual anatomy. Dr. Kahng is well known for delivering soft, natural results that maintain harmony with the surrounding features.

Revision Rhinoplasty

If you’ve had a previous nose job and are unhappy with the outcome—whether due to aesthetic concerns, breathing issues, or structural complications—revision rhinoplasty offers a second chance. This complex procedure requires precision and experience. Dr. Kahng brings meticulous planning and technical skill to achieve improved structure, function, and appearance.

Who Is a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

You may be a strong candidate for nose surgery in Las Vegas if you:

  • Feel your nose is too large, asymmetrical, or lacks definition
  • Have difficulty breathing due to nasal structure
  • Wish to revise the results of a past rhinoplasty
  • Are in good general health and a non-smoker
  • Have fully developed facial features (typically age 16+)
  • Have realistic expectations about the outcome

What to Expect from the Procedure

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia at our fully accredited surgical center in Las Vegas. Dr. Kahng uses either open or closed techniques based on your unique goals and nasal structure.

Surgical steps may include:

  • Reducing or augmenting the nasal bridge
  • Refining the tip
  • Adjusting nostril shape or size
  • Correcting a deviated septum to improve airflow

Incisions are carefully placed for minimal scarring, and internal support structures are reshaped to create long-term results.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can expect:

  • 7–10 days of initial recovery with visible swelling and bruising
  • Return to light activity after one week
  • Full results continuing to refine over several months as swelling subsides

Dr. Kahng provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules regular follow-ups to ensure optimal healing and symmetry.
