Who is a Nose Reshaping Candidate?

Nose Reshaping (rhinoplasty) may be desirable if you have a nose that is cosmetically unattractive or does not "fit" with your other facial features.

Rhinoplasty may also be needed if you have an abnormal appearance of the nose as a result of birth defects, injury or disease.

Intended Results of Nose Reshaping

The goal of Nose Reshaping is a more attractive nasal shape. The nose should be in better proportion to other facial features.

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

Rhinoplasty In Miami is done on an outpatient basis under sedation, and local or general anesthesia.

Standard Rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils. The nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissues are reshaped to improve the external contour.

Open Rhinoplasty: Frequently used for difficult or larger noses. Involves one external incision across the columella (strut between the nostrils). Bones, cartilage, and soft tissues are reshaped under direct vision.

Tip-Plasty: If only the nasal tip is abnormal, it may be corrected with either a standard or external (open) approach.

Large nostrils may be reduced through tiny incisions at the outer base of the nostrils with either type of rhinoplasty.
