What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that enhances your nose’s appearance by reshaping the nasal structures to balance the face. During the procedure, the plastic surgeon can address concerns like the nose’s size, shape, angle, or symmetry, correcting any nasal humps or depressions, or refining the nasal tip, to improve your facial features.

Types of Dermal Fillers we provide

Revision Rhinoplasty

Sometimes, things don’t go the way that they should. While this is acceptable for bad dates, overcooked food, or a lost game, a failed plastic surgery procedure can be highly detrimental. Dr. Keyes understands that while mistakes can be made, you don’t want to, nor should you, live the rest of your life with a botched rhinoplasty. If you are interested in a rhinoplasty revision due to functional or cosmetic reasons, Dr. Keyes is here to help you achieve the results you were originally looking for.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Holding on to your cultural identity can be difficult in this age, but Dr. Keyes wants to help you embrace yours. While the techniques used are similar to traditional rhinoplasty, Dr. Keyes uses his personal experiences, highly-trained expertise, and passion for people to ensure his patients maintain their ethnicity while enjoying an aesthetically appealing nose that functions the way it should.

Liquid Rhinoplasty

This non-surgical approach is performed using strategic dermal filler injections in your nose. Dr. Keyes will strategically inject the filler into various locations on your nose to improve tip projection, as well as the size and shape of your nose.

What are the benefits of Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty in Miami offers several benefits that can positively impact a person’s appearance and confidence. A Rhinoplasty can:

  • Changes your looks: Even minor imperfections can negatively affect your looks and self-esteem. Rhinoplasty can refine your nasal shape and create better facial symmetry.
  • Gives you a youthful appearance: Nasal drooping, downward sloping, and size can all occur due to aging. This surgery can rejuvenate your looks.
  • Corrects nasal breathing issues: Functional rhinoplasty can fix a deviated septum that blocks airflow, dramatically reducing snoring.
  • Fixes a broken nose: A fall, accident, or altercation that results in nasal trauma or broken nasal bones can cause pain and discomfort and impact your nose function and appearance. This procedure can fix that.

Who Are the Best Candidates for the Rhinoplasty Procedure?

The best candidates for Rhinoplasty in Miami are individuals who:

  • Have realistic expectations
  • Are in good physical health
  • Are emotionally stable
  • Have specific concerns about their nose
  • Are at least in their late teens
  • Are well-informed about the procedure
  • Do not have body dysmorphia

What’s the first step?

The first step in undergoing Rhinoplasty in Miami is to schedule a consultation with our Patient Coordinator. The coordinator will discuss the treatment and determine if you are a qualified candidate. You will then schedule an additional appointment with Dr. Michael Keyes himself.

When you come in, Dr. Keyes will carefully evaluate your nasal structure, discuss your goals and concerns, and provide recommendations for your unique facial anatomy and desired outcomes. Dr. Keyes will work with you to create a treatment plan to address your needs and help you achieve your desired nose.

What to expect on the day of Rhinoplasty surgery

Once you are comfortably sedated with local anesthesia, Dr. Keyes will begin the surgical process of reshaping and refining your nasal structure according to the pre-discussed treatment plan.

A Rhinoplasty can occur as either a closed procedure (incisions are hidden inside the nostrils) or an open procedure where the incision is created across the nose’s columella or the narrow strip of tissue separating the nostrils. Dr. Keyes will discuss which option is best for your particular case.

Reshaping the structure of your nose may require either removing bone and cartilage to reduce the size or using cartilage grafts to improve the overall shape. It is typical for cartilage from your septum to be used, but depending on what is discussed during your consultation, it could involve cartilage from your ears, a section from your ribs, or even cadaveric grafts.

Dr. Keyes can also fix a deviated septum during this surgery by straightening and reducing the projections in your nose to improve breathing. Finally, the nasal tissue and skin will be redraped, and the incisions will be closed.

After the surgery is completed, you will be moved to a recovery area as you wake up from anesthesia. Dr. Keyes and his team will provide post-operative instructions and support to help with a smooth recovery process. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we will be with you every step to ensure your Rhinoplasty experience is as comfortable and successful as possible.

Procedure timeline

Contact

The first step to getting dermal fillers is to contact Celebrity Plastics and schedule a consultation. Before you consult with Dr. Keyes, you will need to meet our Patient Care Coordinator to discuss your aesthetic goals and eligibility. At this time, you can also schedule other noninvasive treatments, such as BOTOX and wrinkle relaxers.

Consultation

During your consultation with Dr. Keyes at Celebrity Plastics, you and he will discuss your nose goals, assess your facial anatomy, and create the perfect treatment plan.

Pre-operative preparation

You will be given specific instructions on how to prepare for your Rhinoplasty appointment, such as avoiding certain medications, supplements, or activities to optimize the success of the treatment.

Procedure

Dr. Keyes will make incisions inside your nose or underneath the columella to reach the internal structure. Depending on your aesthetic goals, he will then either shave off bone and cartilage or perform a cartilage graft. Once finished, he will redrape your nasal skin and tissue and close the incisions.

Recovery

You must wear a splint to protect your nose during the initial healing. There will be some initial swelling, which should subside within a couple of weeks. However, most of our patients see their fully healed noses around 1-2 years after the procedure.

Post-operative appointments

To ensure ideal and lasting results, post-op appointments may be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.

Rhinoplasty recovery

Following your Rhinoplasty, you may experience some bruising, swelling, and tenderness around your nose and face. Dr. Keyes and our team will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your nose, manage discomfort, and minimize swelling. You must rest and avoid strenuous activities until your body heals. You might also need to wear a nasal splint or bandage while it heals.

While the initial swelling and bruising should subside after the first few weeks, the remaining swelling can take 1-2 years to disappear before your final results become apparent. Any resultant scar tissue will be well hidden either inside or within the natural contours of your nose.
