Rhinoplasty or nose reshaping surgery is a popular and safe procedure offered by our Florida board certified physicians. The surgery can sculpt the nose by shrinking the bridge of the nose, decreasing the span of the nostrils, and changing the turn of the end of the nose. While most rhinoplasty patients go in for purely cosmetic reasons, it can also aid people with breathing problems and deviated septums.
What will happen at my initial consultation?
The first meeting with your doctor is very important, because only your doctor can tell you if your expectations are realistic. At the consultation, you will tell the doctor what you would like your nose to look like. He may have sample pictures on hand for you to refer to in expressing what you'd like to achieve. What can actually be attained depends on the original state of your nose, and at your consultation, the doctor will tell you what you should and should not expect. As always, Tampa Aesthetic Specialists is here to help you find the right doctor and schedule one of these consultations. To let us begin working for you, free of charge, call us at 888-517-4187 or fill out the form on this page.
How much does rhinoplasty cost?
National averages show rhinoplasty to cost between $3000 and $8000 depending on the work that needs to be done. Of course, these fees vary greatly depending on the particular doctor. Doctors in urban areas generally charge more than rural doctors, for example. Tampa Aesthetic Specialists can help you find a doctor in your price range that meets your needs. The best part is that we're willing to do all of this free of charge. It's like having a personal assistant do all the work for you. All you need to do is show up. Call us at 888-517-4187.
If you plan to get rhinoplasty for reasons other than cosmetic (i.e. for reconstructive purposes or to help with breathing), health insurance may cover some or all of your surgery. To find out if you are a candidate give us a call and talk with one of our friendly sales representatives.
How long does it take to recover from rhinoplasty ?
After your surgery, your doctor will probably have you wear gauze and a nose splint for about a week. The first day you will have to stay in bed with your head elevated. You may experience pain or a dull headache that can be remedied by the prescription painkillers your doctor will give you. Bruising and swelling will usually disappear in about two weeks. Generally, patients are back on their feet in just two days
