Procedures
Appearance and airway, in one plan.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging cosmetic surgeries to master, and Dr. Sandel is a recognized expert and specialist in the procedure. He has performed hundreds of rhinoplasty procedures and has written book chapters and journal articles on the subject, and receives referrals from fellow plastic surgeons and ENT surgeons whose patients require specialized care.
Because his background spans ear, nose, and throat surgery as well as facial plastic surgery, cosmetic and functional concerns can often be corrected in the same procedure. Insurance companies sometimes cover surgery performed to correct breathing problems.
