Are you interested in getting nose surgery in Miami, Florida? If so, it pays to learn everything you can about rhinoplasty. At Miami Plastic Surgery®, we aim to make our patients look and feel good. Our before and after photos of our rhinoplasty clients speak for themselves.
Understanding Rhinoplasty
There are two types of rhinoplasty options. Open rhinoplasty involves making an incision on the columella — the strip of the tissue that separates the nostrils. With closed rhinoplasty, your facial plastic surgeon will make an incision on the inside of the nostrils.
You may have aesthetic or medical reasons for desiring this procedure. Regardless of your specific reason, you should know that our team of top nose surgery experts will conduct your procedure with care.
Medical Reasons
Many people undergo rhinoplasty to address structural issues that impair their ability to breathe effectively. If you sustained an injury to the nose, such as a fracture, you may require reconstructive surgery to restore normal function.
Aesthetic Reasons
A few of the aesthetic reasons for getting a nose surgery procedure in Miami are:
- Enhancing facial harmony:Â A nose that is proportionate to other facial features can enhance one’s appearance.
- Correcting specific concerns:Â You might want to address a hump on the bridge, a bulbous tip, or wide nostrils.
- Changing size and shape:Â You can reduce or increase the size of your nose to achieve the desired look. Your facial plastic surgeon can make your nose smaller, refine its shape, or alter the angle between the nose and the upper lip.
- Aging concerns:Â As we age, the nose may change shape or appear droopy due to the loss of skin elasticity.
 The Consultation and Surgical Process
The process begins when you contact us for an initial consultation. During this first meeting, we will get to know you and your specific needs. We will consult with you to draw up a plan of action. This plan will include a precise outline of the surgery and your recovery process.
After this initial consultation, you will know what to expect from your surgery and how much you will owe for the procedure. There will be no hidden costs or last-minute fees.
We will perform your requested operation once you agree to undergo plastic surgery on your nose. The surgery itself will be quick, painless, and very efficient. Some of the foremost experts in nose surgery in Miami will perform your operation. As stated above, your procedure will require anesthesia.
You will not be under the knife for very long. Most surgeries of this type require only a few hours at the very most. Once the procedure is complete, you will have a short recovery time. After this, you will be free to enjoy the confidence that your new looks will give you.
A surgeon should be board-certified in plastic or facial plastic surgery, indicating they have undergone rigorous training and education specific to these fields. A skilled facial plastic surgeon will take the time to understand your unique facial structure, goals, and concerns.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from nose surgery involves several phases, which include:
- Swelling and bruising
- Nasal congestion
- Temporary numbness and sensitivity
- Limited physical activity — you should avoid physical activity for at least a few weeks to prevent strain and potential complications.
- Gradual improvement of appearance — initial swelling will mask some of the final results, but after the first few weeks, you’ll begin to see changes.
- Follow-up appointments
Here are our top tips for a smooth recovery after a nose surgery procedure in Miami:
- Follow your facial plastic surgeon’s instructions
- Stay hydrated and eat nutritious foods
- Keep your wound clean
- Avoid smoking and alcohol
- Manage pain wisely
- Attend all follow-up appointments
After a procedure, follow-up appointments and ongoing care are critical to achieving and maintaining the best possible results. These visits allow your facial plastic surgeon to monitor your healing process closely, address any concerns early on, and make sure recovery is progressing as planned.
