Closed rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty works entirely through incisions inside the nostrils, leaving the columella untouched — no external scar and a faster recovery, while still allowing implant placement, tip projection and lengthening. It demands an experienced surgeon to keep the result straight.
Implant-free rhinoplasty
For patients worried about inflammation or a visible implant edge, Epic builds the bridge and tip using only autologous or biological tissue — septal cartilage, ear cartilage and dermis — for a natural result with none of the risks tied to synthetic implants.
Hump nose correction
A hump nose comes from a raised ridge of bone and cartilage that gives a harsh profile and a drooping tip. Epic files the hump while lifting and lengthening the tip, so the line stays smooth from both the front and the side.
Short nose lengthening
A short, upturned nose exposes the nostrils from the front. The fix is to lengthen the nose safely first and only then add bridge height, with Epic paying particular attention to the natural line running from the tip down to the upper lip.
Bulbous nose correction
A wide bridge with a heavy tip makes the whole face look flat. Epic narrows the bridge with osteotomy while gathering the splayed tip cartilage, trimming excess soft tissue and reducing alar width for a slimmer, sharper nose.
Alar (nostril) reduction
Wide or thick nostrils make the nose look larger and flatter. Epic separates the two problems — alar width versus nostril size — and removes the minimum amount of tissue needed, limiting scarring and avoiding overcorrection that cannot be reversed.
Revision rhinoplasty
Revision is harder than a first rhinoplasty because the true cause — contracture, inflammation, deviation or an unsuitable implant — has to be identified first. Epic uses 3D CT analysis to plan the correction and to choose between autologous rib, donor rib, septal or ear cartilage.
