Types of Rhinoplasty

Every nose is unique—and so is every rhinoplasty procedure.

Dr. Joe Marais offers a range of rhinoplasty types, each designed to suit the specific needs of the patient.

Whether you’re pursuing a cosmetic transformation, restoring proper breathing, or correcting the results of past surgery, Dr. Joe Marais combines medical expertise with aesthetic balance to deliver outcomes that are both natural and functional.

Types of Rhinoplasty offered

Whether the goal is to improve breathing or refine the shape of your nose, each procedure is carefully tailored to your needs. Dr. Joe Marais offers both internal (function-focused) and external (appearance-focused) rhinoplasty options—or a combination of both—depending on the case.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Specialised correction of results from previous nasal surgeries.


This procedure requires expert-level precision to resolve complications, asymmetry, or dissatisfaction from earlier work, and to restore both appearance and function.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Refinement that respects and preserves cultural and ethnic identity.


Designed for patients with unique nasal characteristics, this procedure enhances shape while maintaining harmony with your natural features—without compromising your heritage or identity.

Functional Rhinoplasty

Improves breathing by correcting internal nasal obstructions.


This medically necessary procedure addresses deviated septums, collapsed nasal valves, and other structural problems that limit airflow. It is often combined with cosmetic adjustments for holistic improvement.
