Rhinoplasty

Rejuvenate your facial balance with Rhinoplasty. A rhinoplasty alters the shape and size of your nose to create more balanced facial features. Our highly skilled surgeons perform Rhinoplasty, one of our most well-known nose procedures for reshaping, resizing, and altering the nose at 5th Avenue Plastic Surgery.

What is a Rhinoplasty?

Nose surgery, or Rhinoplasty, can refine the nose tip, smooth a nasal hump, reshape the nasal passages, and improve the nasal airway. It addresses both internal nasal anatomy and external nasal anatomy, creating balance in nasal shape while correcting nasal obstruction inside the nasal cavity.

As both aesthetic surgery and reconstructive surgery, rhinoplasty may involve the nasal septum, paired nasal bones, and surrounding nasal tissues. Surgeons consider details like the nasal blood supply, anterior nasal spine, upper lateral cartilages, lateral nasal wall, and external nasal valves to ensure natural results.

While most patients enjoy lasting improvements, some may require revision rhinoplasty or revision surgery if issues persist, though the goal is always to minimize the chance of further surgery. With skilled technique, nasal surgery restores both form and function for long-term harmony.

Rhinoplasty Nose Surgery Candidates

A rhinoplasty is an ideal cosmetic treatment from a skilled facial plastic surgeon.

 Our highly skilled double-board-certified Facial plastic surgeons utilize nose jobs in some of the following ways:

• Changing nose size about facial balance
• Altering nose width
• Decreasing visible humps or depressions on the bridge
• Altering an enlarged, drooping, upturned, or hooked nasal tip
• Fixing nostrils that are large, upturned, or wide
• Addressing nasal asymmetry

To be considered a good candidate, you should be in overall good health with no medical conditions that will affect your healing process. During a consultation, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals for a nose job and determine whether rhinoplasty is suitable for you. Dr. Tzikas or Dr. Mascaró will provide an in-depth treatment plan based on your needs and concerns. For those seeking rhinoplasty, Delray Beach offers an ideal setting to recover from your surgery. If you are interested in rhinoplasty, Boca Raton is also located near the office.

The Nose Surgery Procedure

Your Rhinoplasty will begin with your double-board-certified facial plastic surgeons administering anesthesia for your general comfort during the procedure. Rhinoplasty is performed with either a closed procedure or an open procedure. During a closed procedure, the incisions are hidden inside the nose, and during an open procedure, an incision is made across the columella (the tissue separating the nostrils). The rhinoplasty incisions raise the skin, covering the nasal bones and cartilage, allowing your surgeon to reshape the nose’s structure. A large nose may require bone or cartilage removal. In other cases, cartilage grafts from the septum, ear, or rib are used. If you have a deviated septum, your surgeon will straighten the septum and the inner nose projections to help improve your breathing. After the surgery, your surgeon Dr. Tzikas or Dr. Mascaró will reconnect nasal skin and tissues and close your incisions.

Functional and Cosmetic Rhinoplasty Recovery

A splint is applied to the outside of the nose to help retain the new shape while the nose heals. Your face will feel puffy, especially on the first day after surgery. Some swelling and bruising of the nose can be expected but usually subsides within the first few days, and the bruising is gone within 7 to 10 days when most patients return to work and many of their everyday activities.
