What is Rhinoplasty?
When the nose feels out of proportion with the shape of the face, or when certain features of the nose draw more attention, it can subtly shift focus away from the eyes and smile. Rhinoplasty can address a wide range of nasal concerns including a hump on the bridge, a droopy or bulbous tip, a pinched tip, an overly broad bridge, a flat bridge, or nostril size and shape concerns. Rhinoplasty can also be performed to resolve asymmetry, a crooked or broken nose, or breathing issues.
Due to the complexity of the nasal anatomy, the technical demands of the procedure, and the artistry that is required, rhinoplasty is known to be one of the most challenging of all facial plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Paul N. Afrooz is proud to offer his patients the expertise required to deliver natural-looking, beautifully balanced results with rhinoplasty in Miami.

Rhinoplasty Options
What Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?
In the past, surgeons applied a Westernized, Caucasian-centric approach to all clients, regardless of their unique ethnicity or cultural background. Today, our sensibilities have matured, and we understand the importance of ethnic rhinoplasty to fit the patient. Dr. Afrooz performs African-American, Middle Eastern, Hispanic/Latinx, and Asian rhinoplasty to address nasal imperfections while simultaneously preserving the patient’s individuality.
What Is Functional Rhinoplasty?
When nose surgery is primarily performed to address breathing issues, it is called functional rhinoplasty. Functional rhinoplasty can help correct a deviated septum or repair the turbinates within the nasal cavity. Because functional rhinoplasty is done for medical reasons, it is often covered by insurance companies.

Frequently Asked Questions Rhinoplasty
Can I combine my rhinoplasty with other procedures?
Rhinoplasty can be easily combined with many non-surgical treatments, such as dermal fillers and injectables. For most healthy patients, nose surgery can also accompany additional facial procedures, such as blepharoplasty, chin augmentation, or a brow lift. Combining procedures has the advantage of reducing costs and recovery periods.
What is open vs. closed rhinoplasty?
In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nose and are not visible after surgery. In an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made at the base of the nose, allowing better access. Both procedures have their uses and benefits.
How old do I have to be for rhinoplasty?
The recommended youngest age for rhinoplasty is usually 14-18 years old, at which time the face has sufficiently matured.
Is rhinoplasty covered by insurance?
Cosmetic rhinoplasties are not covered by insurance, but medically necessary ones can be.
How long do I need to wait before a revision rhinoplasty?
Revision procedures can be performed between 4 and 12 months after the initial nose job, depending on your skin type, nasal structure, and progress in healing.
What anesthesia is used in rhinoplasty?
General anesthesia is most often used for rhinoplasty. However, in some procedures, local anesthesia, twilight anesthesia, or IV sedation may be options.
Will rhinoplasty affect my breathing?
A well-done rhinoplasty can improve your breathing if needed and should not degrade it. Seeking out a qualified and experienced facial plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Afrooz, is key.
How will my nose look after rhinoplasty?
Your nose will appear aesthetically pleasing yet entirely unique to you. Dr. Afrooz tailors every one of his Miami rhinoplasty surgeries to the patient in front of him and creates a surgical plan he and his patients agree upon well before any surgical work is begun.
