Rhinoplasty Surgery in Miami with Dr. Jeremy White

Miami Closed Rhinoplasty Surgery Specialist

Cosmetic nose surgery, often called cosmetic rhinoplasty in the plastic surgery field, is used to improve the facial appearance by altering the proportions of the nose. Many patients choose such a procedure to improve self-confidence. Rhinoplasty is also a procedure used to correct flaws from trauma or birth defects. With cosmetic surgery, we can successfully remove bumps and change the size of the nose, the nostrils, bridge, or tip. Dr. Jeremy White is a double board-certified plastic surgeon and ENT who strives to deliver the best rhinoplasty Miami and surrounding areas has to offer. Achieve the look you want with a treatment method tailored to you.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Refine Your Nose’s Look & Function

Rhinoplasty is a nose surgery, often called a nose job, and is among the most complex procedures in aesthetic surgery which requires the skills of a top-level facial plastic surgeon. Some patients come to us because they want a nose that fits their face better while others seek our help because they are no longer able to breathe through their nose after having a rhinoplasty procedure. In terms of functionality, some of our Miami rhinoplasty patients undergo primary surgery to improve breathing function along with septoplasty for a deviated septum and turbinate reduction for more breathing space.

Functional vs. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

In terms of functionality, the goal of primary rhinoplasty is to ensure that the patient is capable of clear and easy breathing. When the procedure is for cosmetic reasons, every person’s goal is unique. Through aging, trauma, or birth defects, many patients feel less than confident due to an unbalanced nose that is out of harmony with the other facial features. Trauma can lead to bumps, twists, cuts, or depressions on the nose that are permanent. With cosmetic rhinoplasty, these blemishes can be removed completely from the face, restoring a more youthful and beautiful appearance.

Primary Rhinoplasty vs. Secondary Rhinoplasty

Primary rhinoplasty refers to a first-time procedure. Secondary rhinoplasty indicates that a patient has already undergone a previous rhinoplasty surgery. These procedures are typically more complicated than primary rhinoplasty surgeries because Dr. White will need to work with scar tissue and any healing problems created by a previous surgery. Whether you are looking for a nasal tip refinement, a major bump removal, or a revision rhinoplasty to correct a previous surgery, Dr. Jeremy White is a double board-certified plastic surgeon and recognized as one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons Miami has to offer. He can reshape and restore function to noses of all different shapes and sizes.

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

Dr. White prefers the closed rhinoplasty approach

To reshape the nose, the surgery is performed using either a closed procedure or open procedure. The closed rhinoplasty procedure involves an incision hidden in the interior of the nose, whereas an open procedure involves an incision along the narrow strip of tissue separating the nostrils called the columella. Dr. White prefers the closed rhinoplasty approach for most of his Miami rhinoplasty patients since this reduces the amount of pain, swelling, and bruising after surgery and avoids a scar on the nose.

What are the benefits of Closed Rhinoplasty?

No Visible Incisions

Dr. Jeremy White specializes in a closed rhinoplasty procedure which eliminates external incisions and visible scarring. This advanced technique also involves less bruising and an overall faster recovery while disturbing less of the fragile soft tissue of the nose. Most patients can return to their regular activities within a few days, but we still advise against strenuous activity for two weeks after surgery. Closed rhinoplasty offers the most natural-looking results, with no visible indication of surgery after healing.

Big Nostrils:

Surgery to Reducing Nostril Size

Many Floridian patients interested in aesthetic nose surgery are concerned about an oversized nose, bulge, or other less attractive structure. In some cases, patients have come to our practice as they have wide, overlarge nostrils and would like a more pleasing nose structure. It is entirely possible to narrow broad or wide nostrils using a nasal base reduction or what is called a “Weir excision”, which narrows the base of the nostrils to reduce size.

What Does Reducing Nostril Size Entail?

During this procedure, a small crescent-shaped piece of tissue is removed from each side of the nostrils. For some cases of big nostrils, a small incision in the crease of the nostrils will be needed to achieve the most attractive result. Your surgeon will remove a wedge from each nostril and then carefully stitch incisions closed to form a smaller nostril opening.

Additional Reading

The scar is minimal, and there is no need to worry about flaws in appearance after healing, as the incisions are well hidden in a natural crease. The aftercare procedure for such a nose surgery is usually quite simple, simply requiring the application of antibiotic ointment twice daily during the first two weeks after surgery. You need to try to refrain from sneezing, and avoid any heavy lifting for approximately two weeks.

Dr. Jeremy White Talks About The Benefits of A Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty Aftercare

Optimal Healing for Stunning Results

A few factors go into the recovery period following a successful rhinoplasty, such as the specific type of procedure you had and your overall health. Most people will remain out of work or school for a few days.

It can take several weeks before you fully recover from the surgery, and some swelling and tenderness may persist throughout that time. This is all completely normal. Your nose will feel “stuffy” for a few weeks after surgery, but as the days pass, you will begin to breathe better and better. This is a normal part of the recovery from a rhinoplasty, as the procedure causes some swelling inside the nose due to the surgery. It is vital to follow the doctor’s instructions during your recovery.

Some tips to follow during your recovery are:

  • Applying an ice pack around your nose can help to decrease swelling over the first 24 hours.
  • Keep your head elevated to reduce bleeding or swelling; use extra pillows in bed to prop your head higher than usual.
  • Do not blow your nose for at least one week following the surgery, and the rule is “blot, don’t blow.”
  • Avoid heavy lifting or straining for two weeks.
  • Do not take aspirin during this period, as it thins blood and can slow clotting, increasing the chance of bleeding.

Every person heals at a different rate, but our medical professionals will be carefully monitoring your progress after surgery and are always available to answer questions.

Choosing Your Rhinoplasty Surgeon

skill and experience

Choosing a plastic surgeon for rhinoplasty in Miami may be one of the most difficult – and important – decisions you will make regarding your face. Many plastic surgeons perform rhinoplasty procedures, but lack the skill and experience to be fully successful in this complicated and precise procedure. At our practice, we are often asked to repair and restore a botched nose job, so we have seen many errors that left patients with breathing problems or an oddly shaped or unattractive nose after surgery.

Planning a Rhinoplasty Procedure

cosmetic rhinoplasty procedure

Before undergoing the actual cosmetic rhinoplasty procedure, lab testing and medical evaluation will be required.

Photographs of the nose will be taken and you will have a very detailed discussion regarding what you like and dislike about your nose and the operative plan that will get you to your goals. The internal workings of your nose will also be discussed to see if any breathing related surgery will be necessary as well. The team will review before and after photos with you along with any “wish pics” that can be used as a communication tool to demonstrate potential post-op results for the patient to review before determining whether the surgery is right for them.

“Dr. Jeremy White is the absolute best plastic surgeon! I did a lot of searching around when I was deciding who to use for my nose job. I wanted to use a doctor who has amazing aesthetic results but also really understands the anatomy of the nose. I come from a medical family and asked many other doctors in the area and they all told me that Dr. White was the only person that they would use. I have had major nosebleeds and breathing problems for years, and Dr. White was the first plastic surgeon who addressed my concerns relating to both my breathing problems and my appearance. He was extremely knowledgeable about my nasal anatomy (I have heard some horror stories about other plastic surgeons collapsing patients noses during rhinoplasty procedures) and kept asking me what bothered me rather than trying to convince me to get additional unnecessary surgeries. Dr. White has a wonderful personality and clearly cares about all of his patients and making sure they get beautiful, natural results. It is obvious that he puts his patients’ safety first and is extremely meticulous. My surgery was performed about two months ago. I had some swelling initially, as I was told I would, but I was immediately able to see what a great job was done. Dr. White checked up on me immediately and made sure that I was healing well. Two months later, the swelling in my tip has come down and my nose looks fantastic. Equally as important, I am breathing so much better and no longer need multiple humidifiers in my already humid room to prevent nosebleeds. Getting my nose done was one of the best things I could have done for myself, and I am so grateful that I choose Dr. White as my surgeon!”

“I've never met a doctor so kind, compassionate, and truly loves what he does. I've worked for many physicians and I've never come across a physician that can even compare to Dr. White. I had a rhinoplasty/septoplasty with a turbinate reduction approx. 6 weeks ago and I'm already in love with my new nose. There really are no correct words to describe Dr. White because he is just amazing in every way possible. He made me feel comfortable the moment I stepped into his office.”

“I just had a septoplasty-rhinoplasty-turbinate reduction surgery 10 days ago with Dr. White. Coming from a family of many physicians, which include my husband, 2 of our children and my brother and nephews, and having worked in my husband’s office for many years, I could observe firsthand how important a good bedside manner is in a doctor’s relationship with his/her patients. I only have wonderful things to say about Dr. White. He is very caring, professional, and competent. He made feel at ease in his office as well as in the surgery center, right before the procedure. Besides being very skillful and knowledgeable, he went above and beyond to make sure I had the best possible care. He treated me like family, patiently addressing my concerns, without ever making me feel like a nuisance. I highly recommend Dr. White to anyone who is considering plastic surgery in the future. After only 10 days I can breathe much better, and my nose, despite some light swelling, already looks great! No bruises whatsoever! Amazing! I couldn’t be happier with the results!”

“The Doc did a great job. I highly recommend his services. Office staff is wonderful and responsive. Makes you feel like part of the family.”

“In June 2014, Dr. White performed a Septoplasty on me. More than one year has passed since the procedure and I cannot tell you how happy I still am with the result. I have been breathing normally, no more nasal congestion or sinusitis this past year!! Beside those great outcomes, the whole experience of dealing with Dr. White before and after the procedure was very good, Dr. White is very professional, and also very caring. But most of all, he does a very good job!”

“I highly recommend Dr. White! The bump on my nose bothered me my entire life! I had Rhinoplasty (aka a Nose Job) and can honestly say Dr. White was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I was nervous going to the consultation but Dr. White and his team made me feel at ease. Dr. White gave me personalized attention throughout. He sat down and took the time to explain the ins and outs of the surgery so I felt comfortable moving forward. Dr. White and his team were also responsive to any questions and concerns I had pre and post surgery! It’s been 6 months and I couldn’t be happier with my new and improved nose! Amazing skilled and caring plastic surgeon!”

“Incredible Team. Life Changing Rhinoplasty! Dr. White is the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Miami! I had 2 previous nose jobs with other doctors and so I went to visit Dr. White for a consult. He and his staff were very friendly and the doctor has a great reputation. I was a little scared to do surgery again, but he assured me that everything would go well. It took a few months, but my nose finally looks beautiful! I am so glad that I was recommended to see Dr. White for my nose job and I would recommend the same to anyone else!”

“Dr. White, Laurie and Rachel were all so wonderful and made my experience so memorable. Dr. White truly listens to what you want and provides his honest opinion about what works for your body; I completely trusted his guidance and am so happy with my results. This was my first procedure and Im so grateful to have had such an amazing experience. I loved how any instructions or advise comes directly from Dr. White and I always felt I was their number 1 priority. I did extended amounts of research prior to choosing a surgeon for my rhinoplasty and breast augmentation and am so pleased with my decision!”
-Caitlin Cox

“Dr White truly deserves 5 stars for his care and work. I went to him with a deviated septum and a nose that wasnt straight. After a few visits we had the surgery scheduled. Him and his staff are very caring and informative. They realize this is a big deal for people and they dont take that granted, they took the time to explain everything and answer all of my questions. I had very little pain after the surgery which tells me that Dr White knows what he is doing. Im still only 6 weeks after but so far the results have been great. Thanks Dr White and Team.”

“Dr White did an amazing job on my nose! I wasn't able to breathe before and my nose had a big bump. My doctor recommended that I should see Dr White because he is a rhinoplasty expert. The bump is gone and I breathe better than ever. I have already recommended two of my friends.”

“Dr. White was referred by a friend and I’m so thankful! He performed a rhinoplasty & septoplasty on my daughter. We were so nervous but he put our minds at ease prior to the procedure by giving us full details and just with his charming personality. He and his office staff (which includes his friendly and gracious wife) were very responsive to any of our concerns prior and post procedure- even gave my daughter his personal cell # so she could call with any concerns. She called twice & both times he was helpful and kind. The results of the procedure are better than we expected. My daughter can finally breathe like a normal person and she looks like herself with just the right tweak to boost her self confidence. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. White.”
-Char Feldman

“I admit that I was hesitant to go through surgery at first. Once I met Dr. White and his staff, I was no long afraid. Dr. White prepared me for everything that I would encounter before and after surgery. As he warned, I was swollen and this freaked me out a little. It has been 3 months since my surgery and I am completely blown away by the amazing results! He says that I still have time to heal, but there are no visible scars. Thank you Dr. White for your patience, kindness, and expertise with my nose job surgery. It could not have gone any smoother!”

“5 Stars for Dr. White for doing a great job on my nose and giving me the ability to breathe! He has amazing bedside manners and accurately described the procedure and expected outcome. The whole office is very welcoming and made me feel extremely comfortable from day 1. Great job, thank you! I highly recommend!”

“I chose Dr. White for my rhinoplasty and to correct a breathing problem, I am now 6 weeks post-op and I cannot be more pleased! He listened to what I wanted aesthetically (it was important to me that it was as natural as possible), and he was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. The office was clean & comforting; Dr. White, Laurie & the rest of the office staff are all extremely friendly & attentive. I would recommend Dr. White to anyone looking for a great ENT/Plastic Surgeon!”
-Kaylee Minyard

“After carefully researching plastic surgeons, we chose Dr. Jeremy White for my son’s rhinoplasty and are so glad we did. After years of having difficulty breathing due to a break and severe deviated septum, my son finally knows what it feels like to breathe through his nose again. The whole experience from the first initial visit until his last post-op appointment has been outstanding. Dr. White took the time to explain the whole procedure to us and made us all feel comfortable and confident in him performing the surgery on my son. Dr. White and his staff are very friendly, helpful and professional and I highly recommend him for any cosmetic procedures. In fact, if I decide to get any cosmetic work done for myself, I will definitely be going back to see Dr. White. 😊”

“Finding the right doctor for me has been such a long process. Back in October of 2020 my ENT recommended I go to Dr. White concerning several issues I've had with my septum. I've had two unsuccessful septoplasties and a previous rhinoplasty which I discussed with Dr. White among some other concerns. From the beginning he approached my issues with compassion and an open and curious mind; I feel like this allowed him to give me more innovative solutions as opposed to the Band-Aid solutions I'd been given by previous doctors. Dr. White performed my surgery just after Thanksgiving 2020 and was very involved while I was healing the two months following the surgery. Even the staff was very supportive and nonjudgmental through the whole process. I really have to give a shout out to Laurie and the girls in the office for their flexibility; they went above and beyond to work with me and find a way that was financially realistic for me to receive the care I needed. What I really appreciated after the surgery since January they never stopped observing COVID safety guidelines which made me feel safe coming down to Aventura for my follow up appointments. If I could give Dr. White and his staff more then 5 stars I would without a doubt!”
-Jessica Kladerman

“The procedure was quick and had no bruising quickly healed too. ! Highly Recommend Going to Dr. White , Staff was amazing and caring.”
-Anthony Quispe

“Dr White and his staff are amazing! He did rhinoplasty for me 7 weeks ago and now I am so confident in my appearance. Thank you Dr White!”

“It has only been a month after surgery and I already love my new nose! My tip is cute and raised, my bridge is nice and straight. I couldn’t have found a better Dr!”

“Dr. White is a diligent and thoughtful physician and a caring, wonderful individual. Being double board certified in otolaryngology and plastic surgery gives him a unique viewpoint, particularly in complex rhinoplasties where function is as important as aesthetics. Dr. White is truly a doctor's doctor. I would trust him with any of my family members.”
-Melissa Doft

Rhinoplasty FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Rhinoplasty, from the Greek “to shape the nose” (also called a nose job), is a surgical procedure that corrects the form and function of the nose, either for aesthetic purposes or to repair the nose after trauma. It is typically an outpatient procedure, performed in one day, followed with two weeks of post-operative rest. A rhinoplasty takes some time to completely heal. Most swelling is greatly reduced after a month, but the full results will be achieved in about one year after surgery.

Each person has his or her own unique combination of skin thickness, nasal cartilage strength, and facial features. A nose that looks great on one person might not look right on another person’s face. Dr. White’s goal in rhinoplasty is to achieve a natural balance between the patient’s nose and the rest of the facial features. This causes an onlooker’s attention to focus less on the nose and more on the person’s eyes. Skin and cartilage create limitations on what can be achieved, and it is important that any patient has reasonable expectations as to what can be accomplished – and the look that should be sought in rhinoplasty.

It is sometimes necessary to perform added procedures to achieve a more beautiful facial harmony. Someone with a receding or small chin may appear to have a much larger nose, simply due to the imbalance in the facial structure. Balance between the chin and nose can be restored with rhinoplasty and in some cases, the addition of fat grafting, chin filler, or a chin implant. This implant is inserted through a small incision underneath the chin in a well-hidden crease.

As with any Miami physician, you should research the doctor regarding reviews and results. Reviews and patient comments are easily accessible on the internet. Dr. White has many, many positive reviews from happy patients that you can read. The next step is to meet him. A good rapport between patient and doctor is critical. This is a relationship you are creating with a doctor and, if you don’t understand each other or feel that you dislike each other from the beginning, this adds unnecessary stress on the entire process. We believe you will discover one of the friendliest, compassionate people in Dr. White, and we invite you to meet with us at a time that works for you.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most complicated and delicate plastic surgery procedures. It is important that your surgeon has extensive training and experience for a successful nose job surgery. Some important points to review to ensure you have excellent treatment are board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and membership in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, which indicate that the surgeon has gone through rigorous plastic surgery training and is well regarded in the medical community.

The American Board of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery certification means that the surgeon has advanced education and skills in correcting the function of the nose through various surgical procedures. For outstanding rhinoplasty results, it is best to choose a North Miami surgeon who understands how to manage both the functional (breathing) and cosmetic aspects associated with nose surgery.

This is a highly debated topic amongst plastic surgeons. Rhinoplasty or nose jobs can be performed via an “open” or “closed” procedure. The open approach involves the use of internal incisions used in closed rhinoplasty, with the addition of a small incision on the columella (underneath the nose), which tends to heal and be almost imperceptible. The advantage of the open technique is increased visibility of the nasal structures, which can sometimes be necessary in trauma or revision surgeries.

The exposure also allows the surgeon to perform certain suture modifications to the nasal tip that would otherwise be quite difficult to achieve. The downside is that there is more prolonged nasal swelling after surgery, but this will reduce and resolve over time. While Dr. White typically prefers the “closed” approach that does not leave external scars, the method used in your treatment plan will be determined by what is needed to restore or repair the nose most effectively and create the most attractive and functional result.

Yes, certain functional aspects of rhinoplasty may be covered by your medical insurance. Procedures to improve breathing through the nose such as septoplasty, inferior turbinate reduction, and nasal valve surgery may be covered, wholly or partially, depending upon the terms of your health insurance plan. Rhinoplasty performed for aesthetic purposes is not covered by insurance, but by combining the aesthetic aspect with the functional correction, you can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses.

Dr. White will usually have patients wait until they are around 16 years old prior to rhinoplasty so as to give the nose a chance to finish maturing and growing. If you are under eighteen years old, your parents or legal guardian must attend the consultation, and approve the procedure. Determining whether someone is a good candidate for a nose job has more to do with nasal development than the age of the patient. If the surgery is performed before the nose has fully developed, two things could happen: the surgery may partially hinder development, and/or future growth may impact the appearance of the nose in time. Nose growth is usually complete at about sixteen years of age, as an average. Typically, the surgery is performed after this time, except in cases of trauma.

Image morphing can sometimes be a helpful communication tool between Dr. White and his patients, but is not a hard and fast guarantee of a specific result. Surgery has limitations, due to skin thickness, cartilage strength, and the person’s unique biological healing process that cannot be determined by looking at a photograph.

Rhinoplasty is a very safe operation in the right surgeon’s hands and in healthy patients. Dr. White requires medical clearance prior to the surgical procedure, which means that the patient gets a full medical history and an okay from your medical doctor to ensure the risks of the procedure are low from a medical standpoint.

Other risks include, but are not limited to bleeding, infection, need for more surgery, changes in voice, changes in the ability to smell and breathe through the nose, swelling/bruising, and external nasal irregularities. Dr. White will review this with you in detail and his plan to minimize these risks prior to your procedure. Rhinoplasty is a safe operation, and one of Dr. Jeremy White’s specialties.

There are two major types of anesthesia for rhinoplasty: “Twilight” (half-sleep, no breathing tube) and general (completely asleep with a laryngeal mask or breathing tube). Both are safe for the right patient. The decision depends on your pre-existing medical conditions and the complexity of the operation. Dr. White only does rhinoplasty at AAAASF certified surgical facilities (ambulatory surgery center) and hospitals with board-certified anesthesiologists supervising the use of anesthesia to ensure additional safety for your procedure, and protect your health during surgery.

The approach to rhinoplasty surgery in African American and Asian patients is often very different than for many Caucasians. Dr. White spends time with each of his patients trying to understand what they like and do not like about their noses. What is beautiful in one culture might not be considered desirable in a different culture. Many patients would like to “westernize” their noses by making them narrower or creating a higher bridge.

The first thing to understand about ethnic rhinoplasty is that there is no one type of “ethnic” nose, nor is there one surgical solution. Dr. White prefers to analyze the unique nose in terms of skin thickness (wrapping paper of the nose) and the strength and size of the cartilage framework (the gift box inside). It is much easier to obtain an appealing, attractive result in a patient with thin skin and strong cartilage structure. When patients have thick skin, the “wrapping” may not shrink around the rebuilt or reshaped framework in the same manner.

In patients with weak cartilage support, surgery often requires grafting (addition of cartilage) to achieve the cosmetic changes that the patient envisions. Cartilage sources for these grafts can be from inside the nose (septum), the ears, the patient’s rib, or treated and sterilized cadaver rib sourced elsewhere. Each source has its use and will be selected to achieve the desired results for each individual patient. The alternatives to cartilage for nasal augmentation (building a taller or higher nose) are silicone, Medpor, or gortex implants. Although these implants are widely used, Dr. White prefers to avoid them when possible as these products are more prone to infection and rejection by the body. Dr. White always strives to achieve a long-lasting, beautiful rhinoplasty result while minimizing the potential risks and associated complications.

Cost varies and depends on the extent and complexity of the procedure. Revising a different doctor’s surgery tends to be more expensive than doing the first nose job surgery. ARC Plastic Surgery accepts some insurance, which could reduce some of the costs that are associated with the functional nasal breathing aspects of surgery. As Dr. White takes a very individualized approach to each nose job, it is impossible to give an accurate price on the cost for rhinoplasty without a consultation and evaluation of your skin, cartilage, and hearing what you are hoping to achieve. The best way to find out the cost of your rhinoplasty is to come to the office for an in-person consultation. A physical exam, as well as your full medical history and surgical goals are all important points in determining the right treatment plan for surgery.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, or non-surgical nose job, is the alteration of nasal appearance with the injection of filler materials. This is not a procedure for every case, but as it requires little to no downtime, minimal bruising, and immediate results, it can be beneficial for some patients. This is a great way to fill in small divots on the nasal dorsum (bridge), or even add height or length to the nose. Dr. White uses hyaluronic acid injections to achieve these results, an off-label, but safe use of the product in the nasal dorsum. He does not advocate using this filler in the nasal tip as there is a higher risk of damaging the skin and affecting blood supply. These injections yield a temporary result, but they are an effective way to get a preview of how a cartilage graft might appear after rhinoplasty. Dr. White uses a numbing medication on the skin prior to these injections to make this a relatively pain-free procedure in the office, and doesn’t require general anesthetic.
