Rhinoplasty (Closed Technique — Primary & Revision)

Rhinoplasty at Imagos Plastic Surgery Miami is performed under general anesthesia using the preferred closed technique — all incisions placed inside the nostrils with no external scar, reduced postoperative swelling, and shorter recovery compared to the open approach. Addressed concerns include crooked noses, bulbous or asymmetric tips, humps, wide bridges, disproportionate size, and revision rhinoplasty. Outpatient procedure with same-day discharge. Free consultation required for pricing.

Rhinoplasty at Imagos Institute of Plastic Surgery in Miami is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons with decades of combined experience in primary, revision, and ethnic nose surgery. The preferred surgical approach at Imagos is the closed rhinoplasty technique, in which all incisions are placed entirely within the nasal vestibule — inside the nostrils — leaving no visible scar on the columella (the skin bridge between the nostrils) or the external nasal surface. The closed technique requires a higher level of technical skill than the open approach, as the surgeon works through more limited access without the ability to directly visualise all structural components simultaneously. The clinical trade-off is significant: patients benefit from the absence of an external scar, substantially less postoperative swelling (because the nasal envelope remains attached to the underlying framework rather than being fully elevated), and a faster return of natural tip sensation and feel. For patients requiring extensive structural grafting, severe tip asymmetry correction, or complex revision of prior rhinoplasty, the open technique with a small columellar incision may be selected to provide the direct visualisation required for precise reconstruction. Addressed concerns at Imagos include straightening of deviated or crooked noses, refinement of bulbous or asymmetric nasal tips, reduction of dorsal humps, narrowing of wide nasal bridges, correction of disproportionate overall nasal size relative to the face, and revision rhinoplasty for patients who have had prior surgery and wish to address unsatisfactory results. All rhinoplasty procedures at Imagos are performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis at the AAAASF-accredited Miami Sunset Surgery Center, with same-day discharge. Recovery involves peak swelling and bruising in the first 48–72 hours post-operatively, a return to desk work and school within 7–14 days, and resumption of strenuous physical activity after six weeks. Residual swelling, particularly at the nasal tip, continues to gradually resolve over several months. Free in-person and virtual consultations are offered to allow prospective patients — including those travelling from out of state or South America — to plan their procedure without an initial travel commitment.
