Face Procedures
Rhinoplasty in Bellevue, WA
Rhinoplasty in Bellevue reshapes the nose with craniofacial precision and advanced 3D surgical planning.
Quick answer
Rhinoplasty refines the size and shape of the nose and can also improve breathing. As a craniofacial fellowship-trained surgeon, Dr. Day brings exceptional command of nasal bone and cartilage anatomy, using advanced 3D surgical planning and performing cosmetic, functional, and revision rhinoplasty.
The nose is the centerpiece of the face, and small millimeters matter enormously. Dr. Day’s craniofacial training gives him an advanced understanding of the bone and cartilage framework — essential for results that look natural and balance with the rest of your features. He uses 3D surgical planning to visualize the plan before surgery.
Beyond cosmetic refinement, Dr. Day treats functional breathing problems (such as a deviated septum) and performs revision rhinoplasty to correct results from prior surgery elsewhere — some of the most technically demanding nasal work.
