Rhinoplasty remains one of the most appealing procedures available to the facial plastic surgery patient. The beauty of the operation rests in the availability to achieve long lasting enhancement of appearance and functional improvement in a subtle, yet meaningful manner. At The MIAMI Institute, the goal is to meet the patients' desires for correction of a congenital or traumatic nasal deformity in an individualized manner that provides a natural, non-surgical look.

"The beauty and allure of rhinoplasty rests in its unending mystery of challenges. It is an operation that demands the surgeon's attention, and it is a procedure in which technical skill alone seldom assures successful outcomes. Following a 40-year involvement with rhinoplasty, the author awaits his next case with as much enthusiasm as the first. Few operations in the repertoire of the facial plastic surgeon can be thus characterized."
