Your nose plays a major role in facial balance. If its size or shape feels off, rhinoplasty can refine proportion while preserving your natural look. At Schuster Plastic Surgery in Boca Raton, Dr. Steven Schuster and Dr. Daniel Kovacs bring extensive experience from performing hundreds of rhinoplasty procedures. They have perfected the techniques to transform your nose and achieve optimal balance with your facial features.
More Information
What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that changes the size and shape of your nose. It’s also one of the most common types of cosmetic surgery in the nation. Rather than focusing on making the nose simply “smaller,” the goal is to create proportion between the nose, chin, cheeks, and overall facial profile.
Commonly called a nose job, rhinoplasty can achieve the following results:
- Create a smaller nose
- Restore proper balance with the rest of your features
- Correct nasal asymmetry
- Alter a nose profile with humps or depressions
- Reduce the width of your nose at the bridge
- Correct a nasal tip that is bulbous, enlarged, upturned, or drooping
Not all rhinoplasty procedures are done for cosmetic purposes. Some men and women have a deviated septum that interferes with normal breathing. In these cases, a rhinoplasty may be covered by your health insurance.
At Schuster Plastic Surgery, rhinoplasty is approached as both a technical and aesthetic procedure. Each plan takes into account bone structure, cartilage strength, skin thickness, and how the nose complements your unique facial features. This level of planning helps avoid overcorrection and supports the creation of natural-looking outcomes.

Primary rhinoplasty
Primary rhinoplasty is performed on patients who have not had prior nose surgery. Planning focuses on refining shape and structure while preserving support to maintain long-term stability and facial balance.
Open rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty allows direct access to nasal structures through a small incision along the natural tissue between the nostrils. This approach is often chosen for complex reshaping where precise visibility and control are required.
Closed rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty involves placing incisions inside the nose, resulting in no visible external marks. It may be appropriate for patients who need more limited refinement while still maintaining natural contour and proportion.
Revision rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty addresses concerns from previous nasal surgery and often involves scar tissue or weakened support. These cases require advanced planning and careful selection of techniques to restore balance and function.
Selecting the correct approach is key to achieving balanced, stable results.
The process begins with a one-on-one consultation, so call or schedule your visit online today.
Frequently Asked Questions About Rhinoplasty
Will I have black eyes after rhinoplasty?
Some patients experience bruising around the eyes during the first week after surgery. This improvement is gradual, and many patients feel comfortable returning to work or social activities within one to two weeks.
Can you fix my breathing and my nasal bump at the same time?
Yes. Rhinoplasty can be combined with the correction of a deviated septum to improve airflow while also refining nasal shape. This approach allows both functional and cosmetic concerns to be addressed during a single procedure when appropriate.
How long will my nose look swollen after surgery?
Swelling is expected during early recovery and improves steadily over the first several weeks. Subtle refinement, especially at the nasal tip, may continue for several months as healing progresses.
How long does rhinoplasty take to perform?
Rhinoplasty length depends on the type of correction and whether structural or breathing concerns are addressed. Most procedures are completed within a few hours as an outpatient surgery, with careful attention to detail throughout.
Will my results look natural or obvious?
Rhinoplasty is planned to support facial balance rather than draw attention to the nose itself. The goal is subtle refinement that fits your features, so changes appear natural once swelling has resolved.
