WHAT WE OFFER
PATIENT DEMOGRAPHIC
MALE RHINOPLASTY
FEMALE RHINOPLASTY
ETHNIC RHINOPLASTY
TEENAGE RHINOPLASTY
Male rhinoplasty often focuses on creating a more balanced or refined nasal profile while maintaining strong, masculine features.
Female patients typically seek subtle reshaping to enhance facial harmony and achieve a softer, more proportionate look.
Ethnic rhinoplasty is tailored to preserve each patient’s unique cultural identity while addressing cosmetic or functional concerns, with a deep understanding of the anatomical differences among various ethnic groups.
For teenage patients, rhinoplasty is carefully considered once facial growth is complete with an emphasis on both physical function and emotional readiness.
PROCEDURES
Rhinoplasty - Primary and Revision
Primary- performed to reshape or correct the nose for the first time. It may be done for cosmetic reasons, to improve facial harmony, or for functional purposes, such as correcting breathing issues caused by structural problems
Revision- Sometimes referred to as secondary rhinoplasty, is a procedure we offer to help correct existing rhinoplasty results. It is a delicate procedure and is targeted to improve specific concerns. Dr. Toma has performed revision rhinoplasties for many local plastic surgeons. Depending upon what occurred in your first surgery, various procedures may be necessary to correct the appearance or functionality of your nose. Dr. Toma is often called upon by patients who are displeased with the results of an earlier rhinoplasty. He performs various procedures to correct any problem and gives you the nose that you have been seeking.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty is performed to correct structural abnormalities that impair breathing and nasal function. This type of surgery can address issues such as a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or enlarged turbinates. Functional rhinoplasty not only improves breathing but can also reduce snoring, alleviate sinus problems, and enhance the overall quality of life. It is a critical procedure for patients experiencing chronic nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, or other related symptoms.
Septoplasty
To straighten or repair the nasal septum- the wall of the carilage and bone that divides the two nostrils. It is typically performed to improve airflow and alleviate breathing difficulties caused by the deviated septum
Nasal Valve Collapse Repair
Nasal valve repair is a minimally invasive inner-nose procedure that reshapes and strengthens the structural support of your nostrils to decrease the chance of collapse. The goal is to widen and strengthen this area, improving airflow through the nose. Benefits include improved breathing, clear sinuses and better quality of sleep.

Turbinoplasty
Performed to reduce the size of the inferior turbinates in the nose, which are bony structures covered by soft tissue that can become enlarged and obstruct airflow. Another common cause of nasal obstruction is when the turbinates to become enlarged. Also known as nasal conchae because of their shell-like shape, these structures warm and humidify the air as it moves through the nasal passages. Turbinates come in three pairs: two superior, two middle and two inferior. The largest and lowest are the inferior turbinates—which can inhibit nasal airflow on both the right and left side of the nose. Turbinate reduction can resolve this problem. The procedure involves removing tissue to provide more open space that allows air to pass through.
Balloon Sinusplasty
Balloon sinusplasty involves inserting a tiny catheter into the nose, up to the blocked sinus cavity. Dr. Toma then slowly inflates a small balloon, widening and restructuring sinus walls. This process allows blocked mucus to drain from the sinus and restores regular drainage. This procedure can be performed quickly in the office in less than an hour and you can go right back to work the next day!
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (EESS)
A minimally invasive surgery for patients who also suffer from sinusitis. Using an endoscope, Dr. Toma operates on your sinuses through your nostrils. This means there are no cuts (incisions) in or around your nose that can leave visible scars. You may need sinus surgery if mucus isn’t draining from your sinuses or nasal cavity as it should. This can create an obstruction in your nose that can feel painful and make it hard to breathe. Be sure to discuss this with Dr. Toma
