Balanced. Refined. Unique to You.

Rhinoplasty at Narasimhan Plastic Surgery

At Narasimhan Plastic Surgery, rhinoplasty is both a technical and artistic process. We specialize in enhancing your features—not changing them—while addressing both cosmetic goals and breathing concerns.

Dr. Narasimhan brings deep surgical skill and cultural awareness to every case, creating results that respect your identity and align with your unique facial structure.

We utilize advanced techniques, such as ultrasonic and preservation rhinoplasty, to deliver more refined, natural outcomes with less trauma and a faster recovery. Every plan is personalized, with careful attention to your goals, anatomy, and background. Our goal is simple: a nose that looks natural, functions well, and feels like it’s always belonged.

A Nose That Reflects You

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty—commonly known as a nose job—is a surgical procedure to change the structure of the nose for aesthetic or functional reasons. At our Tampa practice, we offer multiple approaches to ensure each patient receives a custom procedure:

  • Hispanic Rhinoplasty focuses on preserving ethnic features while refining the bridge, tip, or nostrils.
  • Asian Rhinoplasty tailors work for flat dorsums and low projection with careful augmentation.
  • Ethnic Rhinoplasty is inclusive of all ethnic backgrounds, ensuring harmonious results that respect cultural aesthetics.
  • Revision Rhinoplasty corrects or refines results from previous nose surgeries.
  • Preservation Rhinoplasty maintains natural nasal structure and subtle support while reshaping.
  • Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty uses precise piezoelectric instruments for smoother bone refinement and reduced swelling.

Each approach supports both form and function, often enhancing breathing while subtly adjusting shape.

Precision in Every Step

What is the Rhinoplasty procedure like?

On surgery day in our licensed surgical facility:

  • You receive general anesthesia.
  • Dr. Narasimhan chooses an open or closed incision based on your plan.
  • Ultrasonic tools may be used for clean, precise bone reshaping.
  • Cartilage grafts (from septum, ear, or ribs) are used when needed, often in preservation or ethnic procedures.
  • Nasal structure is carefully refined to balance profile, tip, and nostrils.
  • A nasal splint and packing support shape and control swelling.
  • Most patients go home the same day with comprehensive aftercare instructions.

Every Concern, Carefully Considered

What conditions does Rhinoplasty address?

Rhinoplasty solves both aesthetic and functional concerns, such as:

  • Dorsal humps or flat bridges
  • Bulbous, wide, or poorly defined tips
  • Nostril flaring
  • Asymmetry or post-trauma irregularities
  • Previous surgery dissatisfaction or complications
  • Nasal obstruction and breathing issues

Your Goals, Your Readiness

Am I a candidate for Rhinoplasty?

You may be a great candidate if you:

  • Wish to refine your nose shape or correct past surgery
  • Seek better nasal breathing
  • Have realistic expectations about healing and results
  • Are in good general health, and over 15 years old (post-growth)
  • For ethnic cases, you want refinement that honors heritage; for revision or ultrasonic, you may have prior surgeries or stricter goals

One Week, One Month, One Year

Rhinoplasty Recovery

Days 1–7: Swelling and bruising peak. Nasal splint removed around day 7.

Weeks 2–4: Swelling decreases; light activities resume, makeup and glasses allowed.

Weeks 6–12: Most swelling subsides; patients can return to full exercise.

Up to 12 Months: Final tip shape and nasal contours mature; minor swelling may linger.

You'll receive tailored aftercare tips to minimize swelling and support optimal healing.

Subtle Evolution, Lasting Balance

Rhinoplasty Results

Changes become visible as swelling resolves. By ~3 months, your nose will appear more natural and settled, with the final definition continuing to refine over the next 6–12 months. Results are long-lasting and can be maintained with proper nasal care.

Culturally Aware. Technically Exceptional.
