RHINOPLASTY JUPITER, FL

Rhinoplasty is the surgical enhancement to reshape nose structure. Through subtle manipulations of the tissues of your nose, humps can be smoothed, over-large, hanging, or bulbous nose tips are reshaped, or wide or long nostrils restructured to enhance your entire facial appearance

DO YOU FEEL SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT YOUR NOSE?

Feeling self-conscious about your nose is not rare. You may want to change the length or width of your nose, or to alter its some aspect you feel is unattractive, either subtly or dramatically. In some cases, the nose structure has been damaged due to trauma, requiring reconstruction both for aesthetic and functional purposes. Rhinoplasty is considered one of the most difficult of all facial surgeries, with decades of technological advancement to produce results that are far superior, when performed by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Mark R. Murphy. Widely regarded as being among the most talented nose surgeons, Dr. Murphy employs the most advanced techniques to achieve consistently beautiful results.

OPEN RHINOPLASTY AND CLOSED RHINOPLASTY:

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

OPEN RHINOPLASTY

An open rhinoplasty is the method used by Dr. Murphy to gain greater access to the structures and tissues of the nose. This approach uses a very small incision across the base of the column between the nostrils (columella) for extreme precision when manipulating bone, tissues, and cartilage.

CLOSED RHINOPLASTY

A closed rhinoplasty requires only incisions made within the nasal cavities for subtle changes to nose structure. These incisions leave no visible scars due to their location within the nose. Dr. Murphy will suggest which surgical technique will be required to achieve the changes you envision for your nose.
