Natural Results and Life-Changing Breathing Improvement
I had a septoplasty and closed rhinoplasty with Dr. Edward Kwak in September 2023, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience and results. My biggest concern was my breathing. I had chronic congestion and frequent sinus infections, and I wanted to fix the functional issues while making a very subtle cosmetic improvement. I wasn’t looking for a dramatic transformation—I just wanted to smooth a small bump on my bridge while preserving the tip and overall character of my nose. Before

Changed my Life
I went in there completely rushing to get my nose done because i was determined. His office did great at getting me in right away. I was very doubtful at first before the surgery because i was anxious and was worried i wouldn’t be happy with the result. Then i got surgery and i got my cast off. I was terrified but I trusted the process, glad I did. I have passed a year and my nose looks amazing he did better than i would’ve imaged and nobody noticed i did(surprising my nose was

Asian Rhinoplasty
I had my Asian rhinoplasty done last year, and I’m genuinely so happy with the results. The healing process went smoothly, and now that it’s been over a year, I can confidently say it looks incredibly natural — which was exactly what I hoped for. As someone with Asian features, I wanted subtle changes that would enhance my profile without losing my natural look. The surgeon clearly understood the unique structure and aesthetics of Asian noses and made sure the result suited my

Best Decision I've Ever Made
I found Dr Kwak after almost a year of research, and decided he was the right surgeon for me because of his prioritization of facial balancing. He guided me through the decision making process with such patience that I booked my rhinoplasty, along with brow lift and lower bleph, on the spot. I have wanted a nose job for 20 years, and now that's it's done I am so happy and in love with the result!!

Wonderful Staff
They took great care and attention to detail. I was given an informative consultation on the effects of the procedure as well as a list of requested alternative options. From the reception, to care from the nurses to the attentiveness of Dr. Kwak, I felt my questions were answered and I was given the attention necessary for an enjoyable experience. I am looking forward to the results and would recommend his practice to prospective patients interested in similar
