‘Bo’ Knows Nose

Rhinoplasty in Plano near Mckinney and Frisco

Much of what creates a beautiful face is harmony. As the central facial feature, it is critical that the nose does not detract from the most engaging portions of our face…the eyes and lips. Cosmetic adjustments performed during nasal surgery, like Rhinoplasty, can make a profound difference in the facial aesthetic. The intent, however, is to improve the appearance of the nose while optimizing its function.

WHAT IS RHINOPLASTY?

The nose is not only one of the most prominent features on the face, but it also plays a crucial role in controlling airflow while we breathe. In many cases, visible nasal deformities can be linked to underlying internal issues. Rhinoplasty focuses on improving the appearance of the nose. This surgical procedure can help enhance the appearance of the nose and improve breathing function. Engaging a specialist, like Dr. Brobst, with experience in primary and revision rhinoplasty, affords the best opportunity to achieve both cosmetic and functional improvement.

Open up the possibilities

What can Rhinoplasty do?

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, can improve the appearance of the nose. It can make the nose larger or smaller, change the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the nostrils, or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip. That can help increase your confidence and boost your self-esteem if your nose is a source of insecurity. Rhinoplasty can also improve breathing problems by correcting structural abnormalities in the nose. Good candidates for rhinoplasty are individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose or who have difficulty breathing through their nose due to structural abnormalities in the nasal passages. It's important for candidates to have realistic expectations and be in good physical and mental health. A consultation with a facial plastic surgeon can help determine if a person is a good candidate for this procedure.

Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a highly personalized procedure, and the best candidates are those looking to refine their nasal shape, correct structural issues, or improve breathing function. You might be an ideal candidate if:

You are dissatisfied with the shape, size, or proportion of your nose.
You experience breathing difficulties due to structural abnormalities like a deviated septum.
Your nose has been injured or broken, leading to an asymmetrical or crooked appearance.
You are in good overall health with no underlying conditions that may interfere with healing.
You have realistic expectations and understand that rhinoplasty enhances facial harmony rather than creating a "perfect" nose.

A consultation with Dr. Brobst will determine if rhinoplasty in Plano is the right choice for your facial goals.

What Does Rhinoplasty Address?

Through rhinoplasty Plano plastic surgeon, Dr. Brobst helps patients enhance both the look and function of the nose. The procedure can:

Refine nasal shape by adjusting the bridge, tip, or nostrils.
Reduce or increase nasal size for better facial balance.
Straighten a crooked nose caused by genetics or trauma.
Correct a bulbous, drooping, or upturned nasal tip.
Improve breathing by addressing nasal obstructions or structural deformities.
Harmonize facial features, ensuring the nose complements the overall facial structure.

During your consultation, Dr. Brobst will assess your facial proportions and breathing function to recommend the most suitable rhinoplasty approach.

Combination Procedures: Enhancing Your Facial Harmony

Many patients choose to combine rhinoplasty with other facial procedures for enhanced symmetry and balance. Popular combination treatments include:

Chin Augmentation – A well-defined chin can create a more proportionate profile, complementing rhinoplasty results.
Septoplasty – If you have a deviated septum, combining septoplasty with rhinoplasty improves both aesthetics and breathing.
Facial Fat Grafting – Restores volume loss for a more youthful look and balanced facial proportions.
Blepharoplasty or Brow Lift – Addresses aging concerns that impact the upper face.

If you're considering rhinoplasty in Plano a consultation with Dr. Brobst will help determine if additional procedures can further refine your look.

During your consultation for Rhinoplasty, Dr. Brobst will review your medical history, listen to your concerns about how your nose looks and functions, and give a thorough examination.

Rhinoplasty Preparation

Proper preparation for rhinoplasty ensures a smooth procedure and optimal recovery. Dr. Brobst provides detailed pre-surgical instructions, but general guidelines include:

Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (such as aspirin and fish oil) for two weeks before surgery.
Stop smoking for at least 2 weeks prior to surgery to promote better healing.
Plan for recovery time—ensure time off from work or school and arrange for someone to assist you post-surgery.
Follow a healthy skincare routine and avoid excessive sun exposure before surgery.

During your consultation, Dr. Brobst will provide a customized pre-surgery plan tailored to your health and surgical goals.

Rhinoplasty Procedure

At our practice in Plano Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and takes several hours, depending on complexity. Dr. Brobst customizes every procedure to the patient's specific needs using one of two primary techniques:

1. Open Rhinoplasty

A small incision is made between the nostrils (columella) for full visibility.
Ideal for complex nose reshaping, structural adjustments, or revision cases.
Provides precise control for refining nasal shape and function.

2. Closed Rhinoplasty

All incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scarring.
Best for minor modifications and patients requiring nasal bridge adjustments.
Offers faster recovery and reduced swelling.

The approach depends on your unique nasal structure, cosmetic goals, and functional needs.

Know Confidence

Rhinoplasty Results: What to Expect

Rhinoplasty is a procedure that refines the shape and structure of your nose while maintaining harmony with your facial features. While initial changes are visible within the first few weeks, final results take time to fully develop. Swelling gradually subsides over the course of several months to a year, with the most significant refinement occurring between 6 to 12 months post-surgery. The goal is always a natural, balanced outcome—whether that means a more proportionate profile, a straighter bridge, or improved nasal function. Dr. Brobst takes a meticulous and individualized approach to ensure that your results enhance your face rather than overpower it, so you still look like yourself, just more refined.

Recovery: The Healing Timeline

The first 7 to 10 days after rhinoplasty surgery are when swelling and bruising are most noticeable, but these symptoms begin to subside quickly. By the two-week mark, most patients feel comfortable returning to work or social activities, though some residual swelling may still be present. Normal daily activities can resume within two weeks, but strenuous exercise, contact sports, and anything that risks nasal trauma should be avoided for at least six weeks. While you may notice changes early on, patience is key—full healing can take up to a year as swelling continues to refine your final result.

Aftercare: Ensuring Long-Lasting Results

Taking care of your nose post-surgery is essential to achieving the best possible outcome. In the first few weeks, you’ll need to keep your head elevated, avoid touching your nose, and follow all post-op instructions to reduce swelling and promote proper healing. Sun exposure should be minimized, as UV rays can affect scar healing and cause discoloration. It’s important to avoid direct trauma to the nose long-term—certain sports, habits like frequent nose-blowing, and excessive manipulation can impact your results. Dr. Brobst and his team will guide you through the entire recovery process, ensuring that your nose heals beautifully and maintains its refined shape for years to come.

Rhinoplasty Frequently Asked Questions

Does rhinoplasty change your smile?

With a skilled and experienced facial plastic surgeon, patients can be confident that there will be no long-term effects from rhinoplasty on their smile. Temporarily, we encourage you not to exercise your full smile or attempt to stretch/strain your upper lip. It often will feel tight or flat, but after two weeks, the smile returns to normal with regular use. Most patients feel their smile may even appear more prominent and beautiful after the procedure due to decreased plunging of the nasal tip and improvement in the proportions of the face.

Does my insurance cover it?

In general, the desire to change the shape of your nose is a cosmetic rhinoplasty and is considered elective surgery. This is not typically covered by health insurance. Nasal dysfunction due to previous cosmetic surgery would be looked at in the same way. However, if there is a medical need for functional nasal surgery, such as septoplasty, nasal valve repair, or turbinate reduction, then it is possible that a portion of the procedure may be covered by insurance. It is important for individuals to check with their insurance provider to determine coverage for any type of surgical procedure.

How much does rhinoplasty cost?

Rhinoplasty costs vary widely based on factors like surgical technique, surgeon expertise, and facility fees. A consultation with Dr. Brobst will provide a close estimate based on your needs.

How long does it take to recover from rhinoplasty?

Most patients can return to work or school within 7 days, but this largely depends on the associated demands. A full recovery takes several months. Major swelling resolves by the one-month mark, while subtle refinements continue for up to a year.

Will rhinoplasty change my voice?

In rare cases, nasal surgery can slightly alter voice resonance, particularly for singers or vocal professionals. However, for most patients, there is no noticeable change.

Can I get non-surgical rhinoplasty instead?

For minor nasal refinements, non-surgical rhinoplasty using dermal fillers can temporarily enhance the nasal shape. However, results last approximately 12 months, and it cannot correct structural issues or breathing problems.
