Your face is how the world sees you. It reflects your confidence, personality, and unique beauty. At Lakeshore Facial Plastic Surgery, every procedure is guided by one core belief: you deserve to look like the best version of yourself—natural, balanced, and uniquely you.
Led by a highly trained, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Lakeshore has become a trusted name in both cosmetic and reconstructive facial procedures. Specializing in rhinoplasty—commonly known as a nose job—the practice offers a personalized experience focused on precision, artistry, and care.
Whether your goals are aesthetic, functional, or both, Lakeshore offers world-class expertise right in your community.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most transformative procedures in facial plastic surgery. While many people associate it with aesthetics, it’s equally valuable for addressing structural or breathing issues.
At Lakeshore, every rhinoplasty is uniquely tailored. Whether it’s reshaping the nose to better match facial proportions, straightening a bridge after trauma, or correcting nasal obstruction, the focus is on achieving results that are functional, natural, and long-lasting.
A nasal hump or bump
A wide or narrow nasal bridge
Drooping or bulbous tip
Crooked or asymmetrical nose
A deviated septum or breathing issues
Previous surgery that didn’t meet expectations
Lakeshore Facial Plastic Surgery stands out for its commitment to natural-looking enhancements. You won’t see exaggerated results here—just refined features that preserve your identity while helping you feel more confident.
Individualized consultations: Every face is different, and your goals are unique. Your plan will be too.
Advanced imaging tools: See realistic previews of your potential results.
Board-certified expertise: Your surgeon is trained in both facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology (ENT), ensuring beauty never comes at the cost of function.
Aesthetic harmony: Changes to the nose are made in balance with your other features, not in isolation.
At the heart of Lakeshore’s reputation is its board-certified facial plastic surgeon—a specialist with years of experience, dual board certifications, and a deep understanding of both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the face. With a calm, thoughtful approach, the surgeon takes time to understand each patient’s story, goals, and concerns.
Patients often describe feeling heard, supported, and completely confident in the hands of a provider who combines surgical precision with artistic sensitivity.
You may be a strong candidate for rhinoplasty if you:
Are bothered by the appearance of your nose
Have difficulty breathing due to internal nasal issues
Have sustained nasal trauma or injury
Want to correct a previous rhinoplasty
Are healthy, emotionally prepared, and have realistic expectations
Ideal candidates are typically over 16, when facial growth is complete. During your consultation, the team will evaluate your medical history, anatomy, and goals to ensure the procedure is appropriate.
Lakeshore performs both open and closed rhinoplasty, choosing the approach that best suits your case.
Open Rhinoplasty: Offers full access to the nasal structure through a small incision at the base of the nose. Best for complex reshaping and revision cases.
Closed Rhinoplasty: All incisions are hidden inside the nostrils. Ideal for more straightforward adjustments and quicker recovery.
In some cases, cartilage grafts may be used (typically from the nasal septum, ear, or rib) to add strength, shape, or support during the reconstruction process.
You’ll meet with your surgeon to talk through your goals, evaluate your nose and facial proportions, and discuss surgical options. Imaging may be used to preview possible changes.
Before surgery, you’ll receive thorough instructions to ensure you’re prepared—this may include medication adjustments and post-operative care guidelines.
Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 2–4 hours, depending on complexity. You’ll return home the same day with a nasal splint and support instructions.
Week 1: Swelling and bruising peak, then begin to fade. Most return to work or school after 7–10 days.
Weeks 2–6: External swelling subsides; activity levels can gradually increase.
Months 3–6: Final contour begins to emerge.
1 Year: Subtle changes continue as swelling resolves completely, especially in the nasal tip.
Throughout recovery, Lakeshore provides ongoing support and clear guidance to ensure your healing goes smoothly.
At Lakeshore, not all rhinoplasty patients are focused on appearance. Functional rhinoplasty focuses on improving airflow, addressing congenital issues, or repairing injury.
Conditions treated include:
Deviated septum
Nasal valve collapse
Nasal trauma or fracture
Internal scarring or obstruction
By combining medical and aesthetic expertise, Lakeshore ensures patients breathe better while still enjoying refined cosmetic results.
If you’ve had a rhinoplasty elsewhere and aren’t happy with the results, revision rhinoplasty may help. These procedures are more complex than primary surgeries and require a surgeon skilled in both anatomy and nuance.
Lakeshore specializes in treating:
Over-reduction of cartilage (a "pinched" look)
Asymmetry or irregular contours
Functional problems caused by previous surgery
Dissatisfaction with cosmetic results
With a careful approach and clear communication, revision cases at Lakeshore often lead to dramatic improvements in both appearance and comfort.
While rhinoplasty is a core focus, Lakeshore offers a complete range of facial plastic surgery and non-surgical treatments designed to rejuvenate, sculpt, and restore natural beauty.
Facelift and Neck Lift: Lift sagging skin and tighten facial contours
Eyelid Surgery: Brighten and open tired-looking eyes
Chin and Jawline Enhancement: Improve profile and proportions
Otoplasty (Ear Surgery): Reshape prominent or asymmetric ears
Botox®: Smooth expression lines and wrinkles
Dermal Fillers: Restore lost volume and lift
Laser and Skin Treatments: Improve texture, tone, and clarity
Patients describe their experience at Lakeshore as life-changing. The most common feedback? “I still look like me—just more confident.”
