Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job”, is one of the most refined and artistic procedures in cosmetic surgery. It’s not just about changing how your nose looks; it’s about creating harmony and balance with your entire face. In South Florida, patients looking for the best rhinoplasty turn to experts who combine surgical precision with a deep understanding of facial aesthetics.

At Amaira Med Spa & Surgical, rhinoplasty is performed under the expert direction of Dr. Andrew Kornstein, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 25 years of experience. Known for his ability to achieve natural, balanced outcomes, Dr. Kornstein approaches each procedure with meticulous attention to detail and a philosophy focused on individuality, not perfection.

Understanding Rhinoplasty: More Than Just Nose Reshaping

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that refines the shape, size, or proportions of the nose. It can enhance facial balance, improve breathing function, or restore symmetry after trauma or previous surgery.

Some of the most common goals patients seek include:

  • Refining the nasal bridge or tip for smoother contours.

  • Correcting asymmetry or proportion issues.

  • Improving nasal breathing by addressing internal structures.

  • Achieving overall facial harmony and confidence.

While the procedure can make subtle or transformative changes, the ultimate goal at Amaira is a natural-looking result that complements your features, not changes your identity.

Why Experience Matters in Rhinoplasty

The nose is one of the most defining features of the face, and one of the most complex structures to refine surgically. Even small adjustments can dramatically affect appearance and breathing. That’s why rhinoplasty requires not only surgical skill, but also an artistic eye and an understanding of how facial features work together.

At Amaira Med Spa & Surgical in South Florida, rhinoplasty is performed with:

  • Precision: Every step is guided by detailed facial analysis and digital planning.

  • Balance: The goal is always proportion and harmony with your eyes, lips, and cheekbones.

  • Safety: Procedures are performed in accredited medical environments under expert supervision.

  • Individuality: Each nose is unique, and every treatment plan reflects that.

The Art and Philosophy of Dr. Andrew Kornstein

Dr. Andrew Kornstein, Medical Director and board-certified plastic surgeon at Amaira Med Spa & Surgical, brings decades of experience to rhinoplasty and facial aesthetic surgery.

His approach to cosmetic surgery is based on refinement, restraint, and respect for individuality. Rather than following trends, Dr. Kornstein prioritizes timeless results that age gracefully.

His background includes training at Weill Cornell Medical College and a plastic surgery residency at Columbia University/St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center. He is a Fellow of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the Rhinoplasty Society.

Dr. Kornstein’s method involves studying the nuances of each patient’s anatomy, skin thickness, bone structure, and facial symmetry, to design a personalized surgical plan. The result: elegant, natural improvements that enhance rather than disguise your features.

What to Expect from Rhinoplasty at Amaira

From your first consultation to your final follow-up, the experience is designed around your comfort, clarity, and confidence.

1. Consultation and Planning

During your consultation, Dr. Kornstein will evaluate your facial structure, listen to your goals, and explain the available options. Digital imaging may be used to simulate potential outcomes and align expectations.

2. The Procedure

Rhinoplasty is performed under anesthesia in a controlled surgical setting. Depending on your goals, the approach may involve internal adjustments, cartilage refinement, or reshaping of the nasal bridge and tip. The goal is precise, balanced improvement without overcorrection.

3. Recovery and Results

Recovery varies by individual, but most patients return to light activities within one to two weeks. Swelling and subtle refinements continue to improve for several months as your new nasal contours settle into place.

At Amaira, the recovery process is closely supervised to ensure optimal healing and beautiful results.

The Difference Between Cosmetic and Functional Rhinoplasty

While many rhinoplasties are performed for cosmetic reasons, some patients also require functional correction to improve breathing. At Amaira, Dr. Kornstein can address both concerns in one procedure, enhancing the appearance of the nose while correcting internal structures for improved airflow.

This dual approach ensures that results are both aesthetic and practical, restoring both confidence and comfort.

Frequent Questions

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and want to improve nasal appearance or breathing function. A consultation helps determine your best options.

Incisions are typically placed in discreet areas, often inside the nostrils or along natural creases, to minimize visibility once healed.

Most patients return to light activities within 7–10 days. Swelling gradually resolves over the following months, with final results visible around one year post-surgery.

Most patients describe mild discomfort rather than pain. Post-surgical care focuses on keeping you comfortable and supporting a smooth recovery.

Amaira offers board-certified surgical expertise, a patient-centered experience, and results that emphasize harmony, not exaggeration, all in a serene, medically advanced environment.
