Rhinoplasty in Delray Beach and Fort Lauderdale, FL

At Inspire Aesthetics, our plastic surgeons can change the size, shape, and length of your nose for facial balance, for a more attractive appearance, and (if medically necessary) to improve nasal breathing. If you have nose-related health and breathing problems, such as a deviated septum or a broken nose, our plastic surgeons can also provide you with a rhinoplasty or septoplasty consultation at our office in Fort Lauderdale or Delray Beach, FL.

We see rhinoplasty patients in their late teens (once the nose stops growing) and adults to reshape the nose for cosmetic reasons, to correct birth defects, or to resolve breathing problems through the nasal passage. We can improve the size and width of the nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, and more to meet your aesthetic needs. Our plastic surgeons will work to address your needs with your facial structure and other features in mind for a realistically balanced, gorgeous result.

We will provide rhinoplasty consultations to teenagers at Inspire Aesthetics. Keep in mind that it will be in the teen's best interest to wait until the face has stopped developing so that a growth spurt will not damage the surgical work performed. Our plastic surgeons can discuss these matters with you in a private consultation if you would like to have the trusted opinion of how we can reshape or correct a teen's nose for cosmetic issues or medical problems.

Rhinoplasty offers many benefits to patients looking to enhance their facial appearance. This procedure can be performed at any age however, it is suggested that children and teens wait to undergo this procedure until their facial growth is complete. Good candidates for rhinoplasty may have any of the following nasal issues:

• A disproportionate nose
• Deviated septum
• Enlarged nasal tip
• Excessively flared nostrils
• Crooked or off-center nasal bridge

*More complex rhinoplasty procedures at additional cost*

Rhinoplasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under local or general anesthesia. Each patient's surgical experience will differ due to their individual needs and goals. There are a number of approaches and techniques that can be used during nose surgery, including open and closed rhinoplasty. When augmenting the nose, the surgeon can take cartilage from deep within the nose or the cartilage may be harvested from other areas of the body such as the ribs.

Following surgery, patients can expect to have swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes for approximately 2 weeks. Patients will need to keep their head above their chest to help improve swelling. Congestion is also common following rhinoplasty and may be caused by the splints and nasal packing worn the first few days post-surgery. After removing the splints, patients will be able to see and admire their newly shaped and contoured nose.

The nose is often considered a focal point of our face, which is why it is important to ensure that your nose complements your overall facial aesthetic. For patients whose nose crooks one way or the other or those suffering from injuries to the nose, rhinoplasty may be a good option. We strive at Inspire Aesthetics to give every patient the look they desire with advanced techniques and surgical options to make sure your new nose meets cosmetic goals.
