Director · Board-certified Plastic Surgeon

Plastic surgery is not “art”, it is “medicine”. An artist can create by personal taste and discard what they don't like; a doctor must never treat a human body with an artist's mindset.

Many years focused on rhinoplasty and revision. Primary rhinoplasty is designed to the proportions of the whole face, balancing shape and breathing; also experienced in rib cartilage rhinoplasty and complex revisions, including patients who had undergone multiple revisions elsewhere (individual cases; results vary).

3D-CT precision analysis

Pre-operative 3D-CT scan

Chamin considers both the appearance and the function of the nose. Functional issues invisible to the eye are analyzed with 3D-CT before an accurate surgical plan is made.

A 3D-CT scan before surgery maps septal deviation, cartilage and nasal bone condition and airway volume; together with nasal endoscopy it decides the technique and materials.

  • Internal structure and nasal bone condition
  • Degree of septal deviation
  • Rhinitis and turbinate hypertrophy
  • Position and capsule of any existing implant
