Nose surgery — or rhinoplasty — is designed to help both nose form and function, and many of our clients report more attractive, better-proportioned features after healing from their procedure.
How Does a Rhinoplasty Work?
Depending on your nose's current appearance and the goals you hope to achieve through surgery, our rhinoplasty surgeons will perform your procedure in one of two ways:
- Open: The rhinoplasty incision is placed along the columella — the space between the nostrils. This incision can result in minimal scarring.
- Closed: The rhinoplasty incisions are made inside the nostrils to prevent visible scarring.
From there, your surgeon can manipulate and remove tissue, bone and cartilage as necessary to facilitate better breathing and adjust the nose's structure until it's what you want.
During the procedure, your surgeon will put you under general or local anesthesia. You will be able to return home on the same day, and we will send you home with a unique skin care regimen that can help you get the most out of your rhinoplasty. You may experience some swelling and bruising, but it should subside within a few days.
Most people are able to return to their everyday lives within one to three weeks, but it may take up to a few months for you to see the full results of your surgery.
Should You Get a Nose Job?
Most people come to Hillcrest Plastic Surgery for rhinoplasty due to one of three reasons — they have a congenital disorder that affected their nose, they were in an accident or they want to change the appearance of their nose. All these reasons are equally valid, and we welcome anyone to reach out to our surgeons if they have hopes of:
- Changing the size or shape of the nose
- Making their nose more symmetrical
- Repairing functional issues that affect breathing and smell
If you think a nose job is the right option for you, we invite you to schedule an appointment at our Orlando facility. People come from all over the world to meet with Dr. Kenrick Spence and Dr. Fernando Ovalle due to their dedication and expertise in plastic surgery. Our cosmetic specialists will be happy to go over the procedure and help you determine whether this or another option is the right one for you.
The Best in Ethnic Rhinoplasty
The right size and shape for your nose can transform your facial appearance. Regardless of what nose you were born with, you have the option to reshape your nose with ethnic rhinoplasty. Genetics can be responsible for nasal humps, wide nostrils, flat bridges or other specific ethnic nasal traits that some people may want to be subdued. Dr. Kenrick Spence and Dr. Fernando Ovalle at Hillcrest Plastic Surgery are the best in ethnic rhinoplasty in the Orlando and Tampa area, creating stunning, natural results for their patients.
Superior Ethnic Nose Job Cosmetic Results
Ethnicity is a major consideration when performing rhinoplasty. Not only does ethnicity impact the appearance of the nose, but it is also a critical part of the structural differences. The thickness of the skin covering the nose can vary. Cartilage can differ in shape, size and thickness. For a superior ethnic nose job with cosmetic results, you need a specialist in ethnic rhinoplasty.
The purpose of an ethnic nose job is not to change the ethnicity of the nose; it should transform the nose shape and size to one that looks more balanced with the patient’s other features. Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle spend the time needed to listen to their patients and determine the best nose shape to meet their expectations. They use their expertise to improve the form and function of the nose while creating the look desired by their patients. Whether it is adding bridge height to an Asian nose or slimming nostrils on an African nose, they use their expertise to retain the uniqueness of the nose while balancing it with other facial features.
