Transgender Rhinoplasty
Premier Houston Rhinoplasty Surgeon Dr. Michel Siegel
Gender-transitioning is a personal and unique journey. One’s personality, experiences, body, health, and self-image all factor into it. All of those things also influence the face one has and the face one wants.
For many people, transitioning involves redefining one’s face. Getting the nose you want is crucial to that, which is where nose surgery – rhinoplasty – comes in.
If you are considering facial modifications as part of your gender identity, look no further than the experience, expertise, and artistry of Houston rhinoplasty surgeon Dr. Michel Siegel. He is known in Houston and far beyond as one of the finest nose surgeons, one who helps patients achieve a look that’s just right for them.
Dr. Siegel has performed rhinoplasties for trans patients before, and understands that some of the details may differ, but the fundamentals of a successful nose surgery are the same. Dr. Siegel is known for being able to modify the nose to match each patient’s needs and individual anatomy, to produce results that are beautiful and natural-looking, without any of the telltale signs of surgery (like thin noses, noses that look too small, or nostrils that appear too large).
His long track record of successful rhinoplasties for cisgendered women and men, for people of all ethnic backgrounds, and for people of all ages, has helped his trans rhinoplasty patients achieve their desired look.

Why choose Dr. Michel Siegel for your rhinoplasty?
The success of your nose surgery depends above all on the nose surgeon you pick.
Rhinoplasty is not just another procedure offered by Dr. Siegel: It is his main focus. Dr. Siegel is a nose surgery specialist. He is double board certified by the only two boards certifying nose specialists (abohns.org and abfprs.org. Those certifications and his 20+ years of rhinoplasty experience, allow him to perform revision rhinoplasty to correct flaws in primary, secondary, and tertiary rhinoplasties.
More developments in rhinoplasty surgery have occurred in the last 15 years than in the previous 100. Your surgeon should be skilled in the best new techniques in nose surgery.
Dr. Siegel is one of the first surgeons in Texas and the country to be trained in Turkey, Europe, and Latin America in advanced surgical techniques for nose surgery. These techniques include ultrasonic rhinoplasty, which avoids breaking the bones as in traditional rhinoplasty, and preservation rhinoplasty, where the shape of the nose is changed by "preserving" the supportive structures of the nose with minimal bone and cartilage removal. This leads to faster healing and natural long-term outcomes in a shorter period.
Rhinoplasty is more than just a surgical procedure. It is a series of personal decisions, followed by a series of medical and aesthetic decisions. Dr. Siegel will work with you every step of the way. You will not be handed off to an assistant or a junior associate. We remain a small boutique practice providing not only exceptional surgical results and personalized care.

Houston’s Dr. Michel Siegel is one of the few surgeons in Houston and the US who specializes exclusively in nose and facial surgery. He also has significant experience with patients of all ethnic backgrounds, which matters if the goal is to attain a nose that looks just right on a unique person’s unique face, alongside other unique features.
He is also one of the relatively few nose surgeons experienced in both ultrasonic (AKA piezo) rhinoplasty and preservation rhinoplasty techniques, both of which can produce long-lasting results with less disruption, swelling, and bruising, and with a shorter recovery time.
Dr. Siegel’s decades of experience in nose surgery, combined with his aesthetic sense of balance, always shine through in a patient’s results. The results should not only be natural, but timeless. The nose should fit one’s face not only during the teenage years, but should also blend in with and develop alongside other facial features as a patient transitions from the teenage years to adulthood.
Dr. Siegel’s techniques afford the shortest-possible recovery, with no packing inside the nose (alleviating the pain associated with typical nose surgery), and minimal bruising due to his specialized technique.
