Rhinoplasty Miami

Overview

Rhinoplasty aims to improve both the appearance and function of the nose. Patients pursue this procedure for aesthetic reasons—seeking better facial harmony—as well as functional benefits like improved nasal airflow.

Dissatisfaction with the nose can significantly impact self-confidence. When your nose is proportionate and balanced with your other features, it doesn’t draw attention—it simply complements your natural beauty. That’s our goal at Nip Tuck Aesthetics.

Rhinoplasty from our Miami surgeons is a customized treatment approach, tailored to every unique individual for natural-looking results that remain durable and long-lasting.

What Rhinoplasty Can Correct

Cosmetic Concerns

• Size: Nose too large or too small for your face
• Profile: Bumps or depressions on the bridge
• Width: Nose too wide or narrow
• Tip: Drooping, bulbous, or upturned tip
• Nostrils: Flared, pinched, or asymmetric
• Asymmetry: Crooked or off-center appearance

Functional Concerns

• Deviated septum causing breathing difficulty
• Collapsed nasal valves
• Enlarged turbinates
• Previous injury or trauma

The Process

Consultation

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your nasal structure, and consider how changes will affect your overall facial harmony. We use imaging technology to help visualize potential outcomes.

The Procedure

Rhinoplasty typically takes 2-3 hours under general anesthesia:

1. Approach Selection — Your surgeon chooses either closed (all incisions inside nose) or open (small incision across columella) technique based on your needs.

2. Reshaping — The underlying bone and cartilage are precisely sculpted. Tissue may be removed, added, or rearranged to achieve the desired shape.

3. Refinement — The nasal tip is carefully refined, nostrils adjusted if needed, and symmetry achieved.

4. Closure — Incisions are closed with fine sutures. A splint is applied to support the new shape during initial healing.

Recovery

What to expect during your healing journey:

Week 1

• 80-90% of swelling subsides within the first week
• Splint is removed around day 7
• Most patients return to work after 7-10 days
• Bruising under eyes affects 10-20% of patients

Week 2-3

• Resume normal social and professional activities
• Light exercise may resume
• Bruising fades (can be concealed with makeup after week 1)

Month 1-3

• Continue avoiding contact sports or activities risking nose injury
• Nasal tip may feel stiff or numb (normal and temporary)
• Subtle swelling continues to resolve

Month 6-12

• Final results become visible
• Tip swelling fully resolves
• Sensation returns to normal

Pain and Sensation

Most patients experience surprisingly mild pain after rhinoplasty. Many require only over-the-counter pain relief after the first 48 hours. The primary discomfort is typically congestion and pressure rather than sharp pain.

Some change in sensation at the nasal tip is common initially. Many patients also report temporary stiffness in the upper lip. These sensations return to normal within weeks to months.

Pricing

Our rhinoplasty procedures range from $4,000 - $6,500, depending on the complexity and whether functional components are included. This includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, facility costs, and all follow-up appointments. Flexible financing options are available.
