Dr. Ary Krau, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Miami, performs rhinoplasty using advanced techniques tailored to each patient’s anatomy, aesthetic goals, and facial proportions.

The Importance of Facial Balance and Proportion

Facial proportions play a crucial role in rhinoplasty planning. Men typically have stronger features, such as a more prominent brow, chin, and jawline, while women often have softer contours. Because of this, rhinoplasty techniques and aesthetic targets differ to ensure the results enhance the natural structure of the face rather than altering it in a way that looks unnatural or over-refined.

How Rhinoplasty Differs for Men

Male rhinoplasty focuses on maintaining a masculine profile while improving overall balance. Dr. Krau’s approach often includes:

• Preserving or slightly refining a strong nasal bridge rather than over-reducing it
  
• Avoiding excessive rotation of the nasal tip, which could create a feminine appearance
  
• Strengthening nasal structure to maintain long-term definition and durability

Men often seek to correct issues like a dorsal hump, wide nasal base, or crooked bridge while keeping a natural, assertive look that complements their facial structure.

How Rhinoplasty Differs for Women

For women, rhinoplasty typically emphasizes refinement and delicate contouring. Surgical goals often include:

• Softening a nasal hump or narrowing a wide bridge
  
• Creating a gentle slope for a balanced, feminine profile
  
• Subtly refining or rotating the nasal tip for elegance and proportion

Dr. Krau uses precise techniques to ensure the result looks graceful and natural, never overly sculpted or artificial.

Achieving Natural, Gender-Appropriate Results

While facial ideals differ between men and women, the overarching goal remains the same: balance and harmony. Dr. Krau’s artistic eye and surgical expertise allow him to achieve results that respect each patient’s individuality. Every procedure is customized, from incision placement to tip projection, ensuring subtle refinement that complements surrounding features.

For example, if your nose is noticeably off-center, or one of your eyebrows is significantly higher than the other, it is understandable that you may wish to correct the imperfection so you can feel more confident about your appearance.

A board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ary Krau can help restore balance and harmony to your face. Read on as he describes some of the procedures he relies upon to add symmetry to the face.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve its attractiveness. Many cases of facial asymmetry are the result of a crooked, slanted or off-center nose. Rhinoplasty can center or straighten the nose as needed to enhance the appearance of the entire face.

Brow Lift

Brow lift elevates low or heavy eyebrows. When one eyebrow sits higher than the other, it throws off the balance of the face. Brow lift surgery can subtly reposition the lower brow, bringing it in line with the other to improve facial symmetry.

Alternatively, injecting small amounts of Botox into the forehead can offer some improvement for asymmetrical brows. The injectable temporarily relaxes the muscle that drags that brow down. Unlike brow lift, which produces permanent results, the effects of Botox are temporary and wear off after three to six months (on average).

Facial Fillers

Facial fillers are injectable products that add volume and shape to features of the face. If one cheek appears larger or fuller than the other, it can throw off the proportions of the entire face. Adding volume to one or both cheeks can even out asymmetry between the sides of the face.

Many fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that plumps the target area and makes the skin look youthful and supple. Depending on the specific filler, results can last a few months up to a year or more.

Eyelid Lift

Eyelid lift surgery tweaks the skin and fat of the eyelids to rejuvenate the eye area. If one eyelid appears droopier than the other, eyelid surgery can minimize the droopiness and gently lift that lid to bring both lids into alignment.

What Rhinoplasty Corrects

With rhinoplasty, Dr. Krau can reduce the size of an overly large nose, narrow excessively wide nostrils, remove a bump from the bridge of the nose, improve the look of a bulbous nasal tip, enhance certain aspects of the nose or correct nasal asymmetry. He can also improve structural nasal issues that often cause chronic breathing problems, such as a deviated septum.

Digital Imaging for Prospective Rhinoplasty Patients

To help patients envision the type of results they can expect from nose surgery, Dr. Krau offers digital images of the intended surgical results. To use the sophisticated digital imaging system, Dr. Krau or a member of his team takes photos of the patient, using a 3D camera. The photos are uploaded into a computer, where Dr. Krau can manipulate the images, using specialized software. Dr. Krau adjusts the images in a way that reflects the patient’s aesthetic goals for surgery. Patients receive copies of the digital images, which show what their results might look like.

Benefits of Digital Imaging

The biggest advantage of using digital imaging for rhinoplasty patients is that it ensures that the surgeon and patient are on the same page in regard to their vision for the outcome of surgery. Thanks to digital imaging, patients feel confident that their surgeon and they are working toward the same shared goal.

Why Would I Want Rhinoplasty?

People want a nose job for a number of reasons. You might think that your nose is too large for your face or that your nose is too wide. Another reason why you might want to undergo a nose reshaping procedure is because there is a bump in your nose or because the nostrils flare.

Some people are better suited for the surgery than others. Your age is something to think about. Usually, a rhinoplasty isn’t recommended for anyone under 15, as the nose is still growing. Your overall health is another consideration. The surgery isn’t recommended if you smoke or if you have certain medical conditions.

What Happens During the Surgery?

The surgical process can vary from patient to patient. At Dr. Krau’s plastic surgery center, rhinoplasty is performed under general or local anesthesia and sedation. The surgeon will make incisions either inside the nose or externally, depending on the procedure.

Once the incisions are made, the cartilage can be removed from the area or shaped if the goal is to reduce the size. If the size needs to be increased, cartilage can be taken from other areas of the body and grafted to the nose. At the end of the surgery, the incisions will be closed and the splint inserted to hold the nose in place as it heals.

What is the Recovery Process?

Most patients are back on their feet within a few weeks after a nose job. The nose itself can take up to an entire year to fully heal but definite changes are usually visible after a few weeks. Your surgeon will tell you how to hold your head, when to come back for a follow up appointment and what medications are okay to take while you heal.
