Rhinoplasty is the core of his practice: dorsal preservation, piezoelectric bone work, structural grafting (septum, ear, rib), revision and functional surgery.

"I prefer to preserve what nature did well and correct only what needs correcting. The nose has to breathe, fit the face and still look good twenty years from now."
Consultations last about one hour and include a physical exam, standardized photographs, digital simulation and, when indicated, high-frequency ultrasound of the nose.
