Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)

Dr Afrooz performs open, closed, ethnic, functional, and revision rhinoplasty from his Coral Gables practice. Techniques are tailored to diverse anatomy including African-American, Middle Eastern, Hispanic/Latinx, and Asian noses. Functional rhinoplasty for airway correction may qualify for insurance coverage. Recovery involves one to two weeks of initial downtime, with full resolution at approximately one year.

Rhinoplasty is one of Dr Paul Afrooz's core specialities, supported by peer-reviewed publications in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery covering both primary and revision nasal surgery. His Miami-area practice offers a comprehensive range of nasal procedures designed to address cosmetic concerns, breathing function, or both simultaneously. Dr Afrooz performs open rhinoplasty — where a small incision is made across the columella for full visibility — and closed rhinoplasty, where all incisions remain inside the nostrils. He is experienced in ethnic rhinoplasty, adapting surgical planning for African-American, Middle Eastern, Hispanic and Latinx, and Asian nasal anatomy. Each approach aims to refine the nose in proportion with the patient's individual facial features rather than applying a single aesthetic template. Functional rhinoplasty addresses structural issues that impair nasal airflow, such as a deviated septum or collapsed nasal valves. Because it corrects a medical condition, functional rhinoplasty may be eligible for partial or full insurance coverage — the clinic can assist with documentation. Revision rhinoplasty is available for patients who are dissatisfied with a prior procedure. Revision cases are among the most technically demanding in facial plastic surgery and benefit from Dr Afrooz's publication record and fellowship training at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. Minimum age for rhinoplasty is 14 to 18 years depending on the case; patients should be non-smokers with no significant contraindicated medical conditions. Initial recovery is one to two weeks, with tip swelling gradually resolving over approximately one year to reveal the final result. The $250 consultation fee is credited toward the procedure. CareCredit financing and major credit cards are accepted. Virtual consultations are available for patients travelling from across Florida or internationally to the Miami and South Florida area.
