Achieve Facial Harmony and Enhanced Confidence

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and refine the nose for aesthetic balance, improved breathing, or both. At History Clinic, we combine advanced surgical expertise with personalized care to deliver natural, proportionate, and long-lasting results.

What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can address:

The procedure can be tailored for purely cosmetic purposes, functional improvements, or a combination of both.

1–2 hours depending on complexity and whether functional corrections are included.

Recovery Timeline

• First week: swelling, mild bruising, and congestion; nasal splint worn for 5–7 days

• 2–3 weeks: visible bruising and swelling decrease significantly; return to light social activities

• 4–6 weeks: most swelling resolves; normal exercise and physical activities gradually resume

• 6–12 months: final nose shape is fully refined

Before Surgery – Key Guidelines

To ensure optimal outcomes:

• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements

• Stop smoking and alcohol at least 2 weeks before surgery

• Discuss expectations, nasal anatomy, and desired shape with your surgeon

Redefine Your Jawline, Restore a Youthful Neck Profile

Aging, gravity, weight changes, and genetics can cause sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding in the neck area—often referred to as a “turkey neck.” Neck Lift surgery at History Clinic is designed to restore a smooth, firm, and youthful neck and jawline, creating a balanced and rejuvenated facial profile.

Our surgeon-led approach focuses on natural results, long-term improvement, and harmony between the face and neck.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift (lower rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles of the neck. It can be performed alone or combined with a facelift for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
