Rhinoplasty Benefits
Enhanced Cosmetic Appearance
Rhinoplasty can enhance the appearance of your entire nose or just the nostrils and tip. A crooked nose due to an injury can be corrected, and bumps on your nasal bridge can also be removed. The result is a nose that is physically beautiful and proportionate to your face.
Significant Boost in Self-Esteem
Unhappiness about some aspect of one’s facial appearance can cause a person to become withdrawn and self-conscious. If your nose’s shape makes you uncomfortable in any way, rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Perez can make you feel better about yourself, boosting your confidence in business and social situations.
Easier Breathing and Sleeping
The septum is the cartilage that divides the nostrils. Sometimes, a deviated septum occurs, where your cartilage is uneven or malformed. This can cause uneven nostrils and nasal blockages and worsen sleeping and breathing issues. A rhinoplasty can reshape the septum to improve these issues.
Am I a Candidate for a Rhinoplasty?
A good candidate for rhinoplasty is in generally good health, does not smoke, and has realistic expectations. If you’d like to improve the appearance or function of your nose, you may be a candidate.

How Is Rhinoplasty Surgery Performed?
There are two main incision techniques for nose surgery: open and closed. Septoplasty is another procedure that can correct improper nose function.
Open Rhinoplasty
This approach allows surgeons the most access to the nasal structures, allowing for better and more extensive reshaping and less likelihood of complications. This technique uses a visible incision, but Dr. Perez will place these strategically so they heal well and fade significantly.
Closed Rhinoplasty
This type of rhinoplasty uses incisions inside the nasal passages to correct minor imperfections. With this approach, the nose tip can be reshaped, the nose can be shortened, and minor bumps can be addressed.
Septoplasty
This functional nose surgery is designed to correct a deviated septum and can be performed on its own or in addition to a rhinoplasty. The result is improved breathing and aesthetic appearance.

What Types of Rhinoplasty Are There?
Finesse Rhinoplasty
With this type of rhinoplasty, Dr. Perez will only make subtle refinements in your nasal anatomy to create a minor but effective change in your appearance. Family and friends may have told you there is nothing wrong with your nose, but you believe a slight change would get it closer to your ideal. Usually, this procedure corrects a small bump on the nose, refines wide nasal bones, or reduces enlarged nostrils. Finesse rhinoplasties may be one of the most demanding and delicate procedures to perform, as the window for improvement is small and patient expectations are high. However, this is the ideal operation for Dr. Perez. He loves performing rhinoplasty surgery, is comfortable with nasal anatomy, and is detail-oriented.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
The goal of ethnic rhinoplasty is to refine the nose and achieve a natural aesthetic result without diminishing all traits of ethnicity. In the past, plastic surgeons had a narrow, one-size-fits-all perception of beauty based on one ideal image that was never individually matched to a person’s overall appearance. Now, there is a more global concept of beauty without a single standard. Now, facial harmony, individuality, and symmetry are most valued. To achieve this, Dr. Jaime Perez performs dorsal hump reduction, nasal bridge augmentation, nostril reduction, and nasal tip-refining incisions, sutures, and grafts to craft a nose that is aesthetically pleasing and appropriate for the patient. Dr. Perez listens closely to his patient’s goals, then sculpts a beautiful and refined nose while respecting each patient’s individuality.
What Is Rhinoplasty Recovery Like?
Recovery from a rhinoplasty can involve very little downtime, although each individual case may vary. You should be able to resume normal activities in less than a month. Different rhinoplasty procedures will involve different placements and numbers of incisions. Dr. Perez will do everything possible to place incisions where scarring will not be visible.
Splints may be inserted inside and taped to the outside of your nose by Dr. Perez to protect and support it. These splints can be removed after about a week. They may cause congestion until they are taken out.
You should be able to resume normal activities in less than a month.
What Results Can I Expect From Rhinoplasty?
You may experience some minor bruising after the surgery. Bruising and swelling both tend to fade after about a month, with the final shape of your nose becoming noticeable after about a year. Scars may take a few months to two years to fade.
Unless you experience injury or other damage, your nose should retain its enhanced appearance for the rest of your life.
