Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Tallahassee, FL | Jeffrey M. Rawlings, MD, FACS

Understanding Rhinoplasty in Tallahassee

Rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape aspects of the nose for cosmetic and functional purposes. Tallahassee Plastic Surgery Clinic has been serving patients across Northwest Florida since 1978, offering expert nose surgery solutions.

Purpose of Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty improves the appearance and proportion of the nose, enhancing facial harmony and self-confidence. The procedure can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural nasal defects.

Areas of Nose Modification

• Nose size in relation to facial balance
• Nose width at the bridge
• Nostril size and position
• Nasal tip shape and projection
• Correction of nasal asymmetry

Surgical Procedure Details

Rhinoplasty is performed under anesthesia with carefully placed incisions at the nostril base or inside the nose. Surgeons reshape underlying cartilage and bone to achieve the desired aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Recovery and Healing Process

Patients can expect temporary swelling and bruising following the procedure. Keeping the head elevated and avoiding strenuous activities are crucial during the initial healing phase.

Rhinoplasty Results

Patients typically observe initial changes within 6-8 weeks, with continued refinement occurring over 6-12 months. Results may vary depending on individual healing and cartilage characteristics.

Cost Considerations

Rhinoplasty costs vary based on individual case requirements. Functional procedures addressing breathing issues may be partially covered by health insurance providers.
