Frequently Asked Questions About Rhinoplasty
What is The Kassabian Method in rhinoplasty?
The Kassabian Method is Dr. Kassabian’s individualized approach to aesthetic treatment. In rhinoplasty, it means evaluating the nose within the context of the entire face and selecting the surgical techniques according to the patient’s anatomy, proportions, functional needs, and goals rather than applying a standardized approach.
What makes a rhinoplasty look natural?
A natural rhinoplasty result should complement the rest of the face rather than make the nose the first feature someone notices.
The goal is appropriate proportion, balance, and refinement while preserving the patient’s identity.
Does Dr. Kassabian perform the same rhinoplasty on every patient?
No. The Kassabian Method is specifically based on individualized treatment planning.
Nasal anatomy, tissue characteristics, facial proportions, previous surgery, functional concerns, and aesthetic goals can all influence the technique and extent of surgery.
Can rhinoplasty address breathing as well as appearance?
For appropriate patients, structural or functional concerns affecting nasal breathing may be addressed together with aesthetic changes. An individual evaluation is required to determine the appropriate treatment.
What is revision rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty is surgery performed after a previous rhinoplasty to address remaining or new aesthetic, structural, or functional concerns.
Because the underlying anatomy may have already been altered, revision surgery often requires a highly individualized approach.
Will I still look like myself after rhinoplasty?
Preserving identity is central to The Kassabian Method.
The goal is not to replace a defining feature with a standardized ideal, but to refine the nose in a way that improves facial harmony while allowing the patient to remain recognizably themselves.
