Today
Fifteen thousand noses
More than 15,000 rhinoplasty procedures, all of them primary and all of them closed. Consultations in person and virtually, with an established out-of-town patient programme.
The practice
A practice built on one operation.
Most rhinoplasty surgeons in America work through the open approach, which requires an incision across the columella, the strip of skin between the nostrils. Dr. Kanodia works only through the closed (endonasal) approach. Every incision is inside the nose. Nothing is cut externally, so nothing external has to heal or scar.
The practice performs primary rhinoplasty exclusively. We do not accept revision cases. Concentrating 15,000+ procedures on one operation, done one way, is the foundation of the finesse approach: conservative changes measured in millimeters, engineered to look like the nose you were born with. The trade-offs between the two techniques are covered in closed vs. open rhinoplasty.
Alongside rhinoplasty, Dr. Kanodia performs septoplasty for breathing and offers non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
