What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, often called nose job surgery, reshapes the nose for cosmetic and functional purposes. Dr. Davis performs specialized rhinoplasty procedures to restore facial harmony and address various concerns that prevent you from looking and feeling your best. Using his extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, he tailors each procedure to your unique needs.

  • Open Rhinoplasty – Provides maximum visibility of internal nasal structures for precise reshaping.
  • Closed Rhinoplasty – Uses hidden internal incisions for less visible scarring.

Dr. Davis favors the open approach, particularly during revision rhinoplasty procedures.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty patients enjoy these key benefits:

  • Improve breathing by correcting structural defects
  • Enhance facial balance and symmetry
  • Refine nasal shape, size, or tip
  • Restore confidence and self-esteem
  • Create lasting improvements in both appearance and quality of life

Dr. Davis offers unmatched expertise in the aesthetic appearance and functional health of the nose.

Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures

Dr. Davis offers several advanced techniques, each tailored to patient needs:

  • Female Rhinoplasty: Refines the nose to create softer, more balanced features while maintaining a feminine look.
  • Male Rhinoplasty: Reshapes the nose to enhance masculine features such as a strong jawline or chin.
  • Revision Rhinoplasty: Corrects complications or unsatisfactory results from previous surgeries. Dr. Davis is highly sought after for complex revision cases.
  • Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Customized procedures that respect and refine unique ethnic traits while maintaining cultural identity.
  • Functional Rhinoplasty: Improves nasal function by correcting structural issues that make breathing difficult, often combined with aesthetic refinements.
  • Septoplasty: Straightens a deviated septum to enhance airflow and correct chronic breathing problems, often performed with rhinoplasty.
  • Rhinophyma (Bulbous Nose Surgery): Treats thickened nasal tissue, refining shape and restoring definition to the nasal tip.

In Dr. Davis’ hands, rhinoplasty is never a one-size-fits-all approach. He will thoroughly explore and explain your options and tailor treatment to your unique needs. In some cases he may incorporate a turbinate reduction or turbinate hypertrophy to improve nasal airflow for patients suffering from chronic sinus infections, snoring, congestion, or breathing issues.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

You’re most likely a good candidate for rhinoplasty if you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your nose or are experiencing breathing or functional concerns. Your facial features need to reach maturity before surgery. This typically occurs at about 15 years old for girls and 16 years old for boys. The procedure is performed on adults of all ages who are in good overall health.

Advanced Computer Imaging

Dr. Davis uses advanced computer imaging during consultations to help you visualize potential nose job outcomes. The nose job simulator digitally alters a photograph of your pre-surgery nose to reflect the external changes discussed during your consultation. While not an exact predictor, this tool ensures both surgeon and patient share aligned goals before surgery.

Recovery and Aftercare

At Davis Facial Plastic Surgery, we take a proactive role in your recovery process, providing detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support. While every recovery varies, here’s a general idea of what to expect:

  • Take vitamin supplements to reduce bruising and swelling
  • Wear splints and dressings for 2 weeks to guide healing
  • Most patients resume normal activities after 1 week, with strenuous activity restricted for 6 weeks
  • Subtle refinements continue as healing progresses, with final results visible within 12 to 18 months

During the initial healing period, you should refrain from blowing your nose and wearing eyeglasses. Temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, mild pain, and nasal obstruction, all manageable with proper aftercare.

How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost in Tampa?

Rhinoplasty cost varies depending on the surgical technique used and other individual factors. During your consultation, Dr. Davis will provide a personalized cost estimate and discuss financing options such as CareCredit®, which is designed to make paying for your dream nose more convenient and accessible.

Rhinoplasty FAQs

What is tip plasty?

Tip plasty is a less invasive type of rhinoplasty that focuses only on reshaping the nasal tip. It can refine a bulbous, drooping, or upturned tip using small, hidden incisions, often with quicker recovery and minimal scarring compared to full rhinoplasty.


What is liquid rhinoplasty?

A liquid rhinoplasty, or nonsurgical nose job, involves administering injectables to reshape the nose temporarily. While it’s a quick treatment with little to no downtime, it can’t correct structural issues, and the results are not permanent. A surgical nose job delivers comprehensive, long-lasting results.


Is a nose job painful?

No, the surgery itself doesn’t hurt because you’re placed under anesthesia. Most rhinoplasty patients experience some discomfort initially, which is well-managed with pain medication. Dr. Davis provides detailed aftercare instructions to enhance comfort and healing.
