What Is Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses cosmetic and sometimes functional concerns about the nose. More than 300,000 men and women choose rhinoplasty each year to create a more proportional, shapely, or functional nose.

A diagram illustrating the steps involved in a rhinoplasty, or nose job, procedure. The diagram shows incisions being made inside the nostrils or on the columella, followed by the reshaping of the nasal bones and cartilage. The skin is then re-draped over the new framework, and the incisions are closed with sutures.

Proven Techniques, Outstanding Results

Dr. Gross’ background in reconstructive facial surgery and additional board certification in otolaryngology (ENT) make him uniquely qualified to perform rhinoplasty and reconstructive rhinoplasty procedures. He achieves a number of goals with rhinoplasty, including:

  • Correcting an excessively long, short, crooked, or wide nose
  • Restoring breathing function (septoplasty)
  • Correcting a deviated septum or turbinate cautery
  • Reducing the appearance of a dorsal hump
  • Elevating, lifting, shrinking, or shortening the nasal tip
  • Improving the shape of the nose with cartilage grafts or nasal implants
  • Narrowing the nostrils

Dr. Gross routinely performs osteotomies to reset the nasal bones and bring in the sidewalls to narrow  the nasal bridge. He performs tip plasty to refine, lift, and shorten the tip of the nose and is an expert in this area. Dr. Gross also recommends patients use a product called Nose Perfect® during their recovery to help minimize swelling in the tip or if they have thick nasal skin.

For those who have had facial trauma, Mohs surgery, or congenital nose issues, Dr. Gross meticulously performs reconstructive rhinoplasty to reform the function or appearance of the nose. He frequently receives referrals from other plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, and oral surgeons for his experience handling complex cases.

Ideal Rhinoplasty Candidates

The best candidates for this procedure have a BMI below 30, enjoy good overall health, and refrain from smoking. While there are no set age requirements for this procedure, patients should wait until their noses are finished growing before pursuing rhinoplasty. For girls, this occurs at about age 15 or 16; for boys, the nose stops growing at age 17 or 18.

Combining Procedures

Typically, rhinoplasty is a standalone procedure, but some people may opt to combine it with other facial procedures such as eyelid surgery, chin augmentation, or facelift surgery.

“Rhinoplasty is arguably the most challenging of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring 3-dimensional knowledge of anatomy and nasal function, and an artistic eye for beauty.”
– Dr. Gross

Common Types of Rhinoplasty in Orlando

Open Rhinoplasty

Dr. Gross uses open rhinoplasty because it provides greater visualization, predictable outcomes, and direct control of the nasal tip. He conceals external incisions in the creases where the nose meets the cheek and makes a thin incision under the nasal tip (on the columella). These incisions heal beautifully, leaving no obvious scars. Sutures inside and outside the nose dissolve after the nose heals. In addition to primary procedures, Dr. Gross uses the open technique for revision rhinoplasty to correct unsatisfactory results from previous nose surgeries.

Preservation Rhinoplasty

Preservation rhinoplasty involves the same techniques in use for the past 2 decades, also known as ‘structural rhinoplasty.’ In this type of procedure, Dr. Gross minimizes the amount of hard and soft tissue removed to maintain the structural integrity of the nose and avoid undesired side effects of a collapsed bridge, nasal valve, or over-rotated tip. This approach results in patients getting a sturdier, natural-looking nose that stands the test of time.

Tip Plasty

Proper treatment of the nasal tip is essential for a natural result. Controlling, stabilizing, and reshaping the tip – known as tip plasty – requires Dr. Gross’ in-depth understanding of nasal composition, tip dynamics, healing processes, ethnic variations, and physiological function.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty improves nasal aesthetics and function while preserving the distinctive ethnic features of Asian, African American, and Hispanic patients’ noses. Dr. Gross’ artistic judgment and understanding of ethnic facial variations ensure his consistent success with ethnic rhinoplasty. Popular ethnic rhinoplasty techniques include nostril reshaping and nasal bridge elevation or reduction.

“I prefer individualized treatment of each segment of the nose to give a balanced, refined look without compromising function.”
– Dr. Gross

Our Computer Imaging System vs. a Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) Filter or App

Our practice is among the few that use advanced computer imaging to show potential rhinoplasty results. With the help of this technology, Dr. Gross can reliably tailor a surgical treatment plan for each patient’s rhinoplasty needs. Phone apps and filters can be fun but suffer in accuracy because the input has the following limitations (learn more):

  • Flat 2D image
  • Single camera angle
  • Fixed lighting source

With more than 2 decades of experience using computer imaging, Dr. Gross produces results that closely match the previews provided by the imaging system. Barring any unforeseen problems, most patients will be very satisfied with the final results Dr. Gross simulates on the computer imaging system. He examines each patient individually and advises each patient about whether their expectations are realistic based on this comprehensive analysis. We email these images to patients containing a standard disclaimer.

What Is Rhinoplasty Recovery Like?

Dr. Gross performs rhinoplasty, which takes about 2.5 hours, as outpatient surgery, so you’ll be able to return home the same day. For at least a week, you will need to sleep with your head elevated using pillows or a recliner. It’s important to carefully follow your rhinoplasty aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery. Learn more about how to sleep comfortably after rhinoplasty.

How To Massage the Nose After Rhinoplasty

About 2 to 3 weeks after surgery, Dr. Gross may recommend compression exercises and fingertip massage of the nose to reduce swelling in certain areas. We will show you how to safely perform these exercises 2 to 3 times a day for 2 to 3 minutes, as outlined in our rhinoplasty post-op instructions.

Rhinoplasty FAQ

  • What’s the best age to get a nose job?
    People can benefit from rhinoplasty at nearly any age; however, you should wait until your nose is fully developed before pursuing surgery. For most people, this occurs in the teen years.
  • When can I wear glasses again after rhinoplasty?
    Typically, rhinoplasty patients must avoid wearing glasses for several weeks following the surgery. An innovative product called RhinoShield® is now available at our practice that enables patients to resume wearing glasses almost immediately. The product protects the soft cartilage from glasses so they don’t create permanent indentations to the bridge of the nose.
  • Are there nonsurgical alternatives to rhinoplasty surgery?
    For some people, a nonsurgical nose job with dermal fillers is a good way to temporarily disguise minor nose concerns such as a small hump or downturned tip. Often called a liquid rhinoplasty, this procedure typically lasts about 6 months and—for safety reasons—requires an injector with extensive knowledge of nose anatomy.
  • Does thread rhinoplasty work?
    Thread rhinoplasty, also called a nose thread lift or string rhinoplasty, is another nonsurgical alternative to rhinoplasty. This procedure is said to raise the tip of the nose by tying a string around the end of the nose and around the back of the head. This procedure provides no long-term improvement and could lead to serious complications.
  • What happens 10 years after rhinoplasty?
    Rhinoplasty results last indefinitely when performed by a skilled facial plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Gross, who takes care to remove as little cartilage as possible. However, no one can predict how the natural aging process will affect the nose; revision surgery can address unwanted changes if desired.
