Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes or restructures the nose to improve its appearance or function.
A nose job can improve self-confidence, enhance facial harmony, and, for those with nasal obstructions, significantly improve breathing and nasal function. Schedule a consultation today and start your journey with Miami Plastic Surgery® — the best in the business.
Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures at Miami Plastic Surgery®
Nose jobs are always a topic that catches the eye of the media, and they are one of the five most popular cosmetic nose surgery procedures in Miami.
Learn about the top types of rhinoplasty procedures in Miami.
Rhinoplasty Reduction
Reduction nose surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at decreasing the size and reshaping the nose. This type of rhinoplasty addresses various concerns, such as:
- Hump reduction:Â Smoothing out the bridge of the nose by removing the excess bone or cartilage that creates a prominent hump.
- Tip refinement:Â Sculpting the nasal tip to create a more refined nose.
- Width reduction:Â Narrowing the width of the nose, either at the bridge or base.
Rhinoplasty Augmentation
Rhinoplasty augmentation creates a more balanced facial profile through tip projection, tip refinement, and nasal bridge enhancement to improve cosmetic appearance. The main goal is to enhance the projection of the nasal bridge on the profile view — a side perspective.
Reconstructive Rhinoplasty
Is your nose broken or damaged from a car accident? With post-traumatic, accident, or reconstructive rhinoplasty surgery procedures, we can repair major damage. A reconstructive rhinoplasty can improve the form and function of your nose. You may have problems breathing and sleeping properly if the damage is severe.
Our facial plastic surgeons use reconstructive rhinoplasty to straighten the nose, correct the nasal septum, or reset a broken nose. Those with a broken nose might want to see one of our facial plastic surgeons as soon as possible so we can make sure the damage is not permanent.
What to Expect
From the initial consultation to the final result, our patient-centered approach makes sure you receive the highest level of personalized attention, safety, and care every step of the way. Before the procedure, our cosmetic doctors can show you two-dimensional or three-dimensional computer models with before-and-after views.
The recovery timeline for rhinoplasty is usually three to six months, but this number varies. Here’s a general guideline of what to expect:
- Week 1:Â Most patients experience swelling and bruising around the eyes and mild discomfort, but this is temporary. We recommend keeping your head elevated and getting sufficient rest.
- Week 2-4: Bruising around the eyes fades, and swelling begins to reduce — though the nose may still appear slightly puffy. We usually remove the splint around this time. Still, you should avoid all contact and other intense sports.
- Months 1-3:Â Swelling continues to decrease gradually. During these months, you will be able to see the new shape and definition of your nose. Patients can return to light exercise while still avoiding contact sports or heavy lifting.
- Months 6-12:Â By six months, the nose starts to refine to its final shape, yet changes can still occur up to a year after surgery. Complete healing typically takes a full year.
Throughout recovery, it’s critical to follow post-op care instructions and attend follow-up appointments for optimal healing.
