Dr Kriya specializes in rhinoplasty or “nose jobs”. The nose is the central feature of the face and even the most subtle changes can have dramatic effects on the aesthetics of the face. Spending most of her specialty training focusing on rhinoplasty, Dr Kriya has studied with some of the top rhinoplasty surgeons in the world and understands just how life altering rhinoplasty can be for the patient. Her results are natural, functional and aesthetic. She not only focuses on the ideal proportions of the nose but constructs the nose in relation to the rest of the face so that every result is unique and appropriate for the patient's facial structure and desires. As an artist, she understands the interplay between light and shape and approaches each case with an expertise in surgical contouring.
Rhinoplasty can be performed “open” with a small incision on the outside of the nose between the nostrils. This incision is placed in a position that makes it essentially imperceptible. Rhinoplasty can also be performed “closed” with the incision placed inside the nostrils. The technique used by Dr Kriya is patient specific
Rhinoplasty can be a functional procedure used to treat breathing difficulty in patients with deviated septum. It can also be reconstructive post trauma.
