Rhinoplasties are becoming an increasingly popular cosmetic procedure. From fixing breathing issues to transforming one’s looks, there are many benefits to nose surgery. But getting the best results involves hiring a surgeon you can trust. Just who are the best rhinoplasty surgeons in the world? This post lists 10 rhinoplasty masters who could be worth looking into.
This is a collaborative post.
- Mr Samit Unadkat – London, UK
We begin our journey in London. Here you’ll find Mr Samit Unadkat – a double board-certified consultant ENT and facial plastic surgeon. He is the founder of My Nose London and has performed numerous nose surgeries. While carrying out many cosmetic procedures, he is particularly renowned for his functional surgeries, which include helping to treat complex and rare sinus conditions and carrying out advanced reconstructions (including revision rhinoplasties).
- Mr Charles East – London, UK
Staying in the UK capital, we head over to Harley Street (the UK hub for cosmetic surgery practices) where Mr Charles East has been carrying out rhinoplasties for 30 years. He helped co-found Rhinoplasty London with fellow celebrated surgeon Ms Lydia Badia in 2012. The globally trained surgeon is known for being a pioneer in ultrasonic rhinoplasty – using high-frequency tools for precise bone sculpting while minimising bruising. For delicate shaping, Mr Charles East is therefore one of the best choices.
- Rod J Rohrich M.D. – Dallas, USA
Let’s fly across the pond to the US. Rod J Rohrich is a household name in plastic surgery circles and is a former president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. His work in nose surgery has been incredibly influential to many other practitioners – including potentially some of the other surgeons on this list. He has authored over 900 scientific articles and continues to practice at his clinic in Texas.
- Dr Andrew Jacono – NYC, USA
On the East Coast, you’ll find Dr Andrew Jacono – a rhinoplasty rockstar based in Manhattan. His scar-minimising work has attracted many celebrities and international clients. On top of operating out of his own private clinic, he also regularly carries out surgeries at the New York Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, which also specialises in facelifts and blepharoplasties. He has authored books such as The Park Avenue Face and appeared on TV shows like Good Morning America.
- Dr Deepak Dugar – LA, USA
We now traverse over to the West Coast to Beverley Hills. Serving the A-listers of Hollywood is Dr Deepak Dugar – owner of the Scarless Nose Institute. Like Dr Andrew Jacono, his specialism is reducing external incisions to allow for more discreet healing. He is one of several top surgeons championing a natural look, encouraging those from different ethnic backgrounds to find a nose shape that is suitable for them rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all nose shape.
- Dr Jorge Sandoval – Mexico City, Mexico
South of the border, Dr Jorge Sandoval has been making waves in Mexico City. He is recognised as one of the most highly skilled cosmetic surgeons in the world – carrying out an array of procedures including breast augmentation and tummy tucks. However, it is rhinoplasty techniques that have gotten the most attention. He specialises in natural nose reconstruction for Latin Americans, helping to preserve cultural identity. His good value pricing has attracted many medical tourists from the US and Europe.
- Dr Leyla Arvas – Istanbul, Turkey
Venture to the Europe-Asia crossroads of Istanbul and you will find Dr Leyla Arvas. She is a rising star in the global rhinoplasty community and has been breaking barriers – both by being a female surgeon in a male-dominated field and by helping to push forward piezo rhinoplasty (using ultrasonic tools for precision). She also offers virtual reality previews and is known to take on a wide range of cases. Her price packages also make her one of the more affordable top-end rhinoplasty specialists (Quartz Clinic is the name of her practice).
- Dr Rohit Krishna – New Delhi, India
Drifting further into Asia, we now reach New Delhi, where Dr Rohit Krishna is a big name. The board-certified plastic surgeon practises at top facilities like Apollo Hospitals. He has pioneered several cost-effective innovations, like thread lifts combined with surgery, in order to help make nose surgery more accessible to the diverse populations of India. He is also known for his community work, which includes speaking at events and training young surgeons across India and the world.
- Dr Seungbin Jang – Seoul, South Korea
Let’s stop in Seoul now, where K-beauty is pushing the envelope. Dr Seungbin Jan has been helping to revolutionise the Asian rhinoplasty by introducing AI imaging and by using autologous materials (using the patient’s own cartilage to reshape the nose). Clients flock to Dr Jang for his petite ‘doll-like’ noses, which he precisely crafts to look as authentic as possible. He is the Director of Very Good Plastic Surgery Clinic and a full member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons.
- Dr Anurak Amornpetchsathaporn – Bangkok, Thailand
We round up our global tour in Thailand, which has become a hotspot for cosmetic surgery vacations. Dr Anurak Amornpetchsathaporn runs the world-renowned Bumrungrad International Hospital and has been developing many new and advanced rhinoplasty techniques using 4d imaging. His base in Bangkok provides a luxurious location to recover in. Many patients praise him for his natural augmentations, which extend beyond rhinoplasties to include body contouring and face lifts.
Choosing a rhinoplasty specialist
It’s possible that one of these rhinoplasty specialists could be the perfect choice for you. By considering surgeons around the world, it may be possible to access high-quality surgery at an affordable rate. Make sure to choose a rhinoplasty surgeon who caters to your specific case – some surgeons cater specifically to patients from certain ethnic backgrounds, for example, researching ‘nose job in Singapore‘ for those in Asia, while others have more experience with treating functional issues like deviated septums and polyps. Reading reviews is also important to make sure that a surgeon is recommended by patients (all of the above surgeons have fairly glowing reviews, but if you decide to consider other doctors and clinics, you may find that some aren’t as reputable).
