Type
Rhinoplasty
Duration
3 hours
Dr. Salomon offers both endonasal and open rhinoplasty at his South Miami practice, with a philosophy centered on preserving and reshaping existing cartilage rather than removing tissue. The procedure may address cosmetic concerns such as a dorsal hump, bulbous tip, asymmetry, or a drooping nasal tip, as well as functional issues affecting breathing. Surgery typically takes one to three hours under general anesthesia. Initial shape improvements become visible within two to three weeks; subtle refinements continue for up to one year.
About this treatment
Rhinoplasty at Dr. Jhonny Salomon's South Miami clinic is guided by a conservative philosophy: preserve and reposition cartilage and bone where possible, rather than removing structural material that the nose needs for long-term support. This structural approach may reduce the risk of late complications such as saddle-nose deformity or over-resection that can occur when tissue is removed too aggressively.
Dr. Salomon completed his plastic surgery residency at Brown University and his craniofacial surgery fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center — training programs that provide an unusually detailed grounding in nasal and facial skeletal anatomy.
Endonasal (closed) rhinoplasty uses incisions entirely inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scarring. This approach suits a defined set of aesthetic goals — particularly tip refinement or modest hump reduction — and typically involves somewhat less swelling than the open technique.
