Male Rhinoplasty In Miami, FL

Dr. Pazmiño personally performs every male rhinoplasty. His goal is a nose that looks strong and masculine, so he preserves a strong, straight bridge and avoids an over-turned, “feminized” tip. His approach includes:

• Open or closed, matched to your nose: Dr. Pazmiño prefers the open approach, which he uses for about 80% of his patients because it gives him the clearest view and the most control when reshaping the nose. The closed approach, used for about 20% of patients, is a good option when the main goal is smoothing a hump on the bridge of the nose and the tip needs little or no work.
• Better breathing, too: Dr. Pazmiño routinely combines rhinoplasty with septoplasty, a procedure that straightens the wall inside the nose so you can breathe more easily while still looking your best.
• Revision rhinoplasty: Dr. Pazmiño also performs revision rhinoplasty for patients unhappy with the results of previous nose surgery.

• Dr. Pazmiño focuses on natural-looking, proportionate results, which is essential for men who want their rhinoplasty to go unnoticed.
• He has practiced plastic surgery since 2003 and has performed more than 10,000 surgeries. Because many of those surgeries combine several procedures, they include more than 400 rhinoplasty procedures.
• Certified and held to the highest standards: Dr. Pazmiño is a board-certified plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and The Aesthetic Society (ASAPS).
• Trained at the best, and now training others: He graduated with honors from Harvard University and earned his medical degree with distinction from Baylor College of Medicine. He also completed his general and plastic surgery residency there and served as Chief Resident. Today he teaches the next generation of plastic surgeons as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Miami and the University of Pittsburgh.
• His peers have entrusted him with some of the most important roles in his specialty: As Associate Editor of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, the #1 scientific journal in aesthetic surgery, he helps decide which research and techniques reach plastic surgeons around the world. He brings that knowledge straight to your care.
• He helps write the safety rules other surgeons follow: He serves on the Board of Directors of The Aesthetic Foundation, where he is Treasurer and Co-Chair of the Scientific Research Committee. He is also Chair of The Aesthetic Society’s Patient Safety Committee. Closer to home, he serves as Treasurer on the Board of Directors of the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons. He helps set the standards surgeons follow across the country, and he follows them for you.
• Honored for keeping patients safe: He received the Tiffany Award from The Aesthetic Society and the Patient Safety Award from The Aesthetic Foundation.
• Hospital-level care: Your surgery takes place in a hospital or an accredited surgical facility, with dedicated nursing care and closer monitoring.
• A national leader who still makes time for you: Even with these national roles, Dr. Pazmiño takes the time to listen to your goals, explain every option, and care for you personally.

You may be a good candidate for male rhinoplasty if you:

• Are bothered by a hump, crooked bridge, wide nose, or drooping tip
• Have a nose that was injured or broken and never healed straight
• Have breathing difficulty related to the structure of your nose
• Have a fully developed face, typically by your late teens or older
• Are in good overall health and do not smoke, or are willing to quit
• Want a natural refinement rather than a dramatically different nose

Dr. Pazmiño will evaluate your nasal structure, skin thickness, and overall facial proportions to determine whether male rhinoplasty can deliver the result you want.

Male rhinoplasty can improve both how your nose looks and how it works. Key benefits include:

• A straighter, smoother bridge without a prominent hump
• Better balance between your nose and your other facial features
• Correction of a crooked nose from an old injury or fracture
• A refined tip that keeps a strong, masculine character
• Easier breathing when structural issues are addressed
• A natural result that doesn’t look “done”

Careful preparation helps your rhinoplasty heal smoothly and limits swelling. Dr. Pazmiño will give you personalized instructions, which usually include these steps:

1. Stop smoking and using nicotine products several weeks before surgery.
2. Avoid aspirin, certain anti-inflammatory medications, supplements, and alcohol, as directed, to reduce bleeding and bruising.
3. Complete any lab work or medical clearance Dr. Pazmiño requests.
4. Plan to stay away from work and public commitments for about one to two weeks while your splint is on and bruising fades.

1. Sleep with your head elevated for the first week or two to reduce swelling.
2. Don’t blow your nose until Dr. Pazmiño says it is safe; use saline spray if recommended.
3. Avoid contact sports and heavy lifting until you are cleared.
4. Wear a hat and sunscreen outdoors to protect your healing skin from the sun.
5. Keep your splint dry and leave it in place until your follow-up visit.
6. Be patient with tip swelling, which takes the longest to resolve, especially if you have thicker skin.
