Rhinoplasty
What is a Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular and sought-after cosmetic procedures at ESK, thanks to Dr. Kwak’s world-renowned prowess at reshaping and refining the nose. After completing his residency and fellowship in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Kwak deepened his knowledge by traveling to Asia to study under leading rhinoplasty authorities in his field. As a result, he gained invaluable insight into the complexities of working on non-Caucasian faces, and today has garnered a reputation for subtle, natural outcomes that honor cultural idiosyncrasies while promoting timeless beauty. It is no wonder that he is critically acclaimed as one of the best in rhinoplasty.

Revision rhinoplasty
In cases where a previous nose job resulted in a less than ideal outcome, a revision rhinoplasty can correct abnormalities and set the patient on track towards a beautiful, functionally stable future. Grafts or implants may be required to correct over-aggressive removal of cartilage, but Dr. Kwak will always work to employ the least invasive methods that offer the best outcomes.
