Understanding Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a "nose job," is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures designed to refine the nose's appearance and improve nasal function. Whether addressing concerns related to nasal symmetry, bumps, nostril size, or breathing difficulties, rhinoplasty offers a customized solution to enhance both form and function.

A well-performed rhinoplasty can create facial harmony, boost self-confidence, and correct structural nasal issues such as a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates.

Who is a candidate for Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Rhinoplasty is an excellent option for individuals who:

Desire cosmetic improvements—refining the nasal bridge, tip, or nostrils
Experience breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum or internal nasal structures
Seek correction of a nasal injury or congenital nasal asymmetry
Have a bulbous or drooping nasal tip
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations

This procedure is performed on both men and women, and teenagers aged 15-16 and older who have reached full nasal development.

Techniques & Procedure

Each rhinoplasty procedure is tailored to meet the patient’s specific goals. Both cosmetic and

functional improvements can be achieved through either an open or closed technique:

Types of Rhinoplasty Approaches:

Open Rhinoplasty – A small incision is made at the columella (between the nostrils) for greater visibility and precision. Ideal for more complex reshaping procedures.
Closed Rhinoplasty – Incisions are hidden inside the nostrils, with no external scars. Best suited for minor refinements.

Procedure:

Depending on the patient’s needs, the procedure may involve:

Removing nasal bumps or refining the bridge
Reshaping the nasal tip for a more defined look
Reducing nostril size
Correcting a deviated septum for improved breathing
Adjusting internal nasal structures, such as turbinates or nasal polyps, to enhance airflow

The procedure typically lasts 2-3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

While initial improvements are noticeable within a few weeks, final refinement occurs over time as the nasal tissues fully heal.

What to Expect:

Mild swelling and bruising for the first 7-10 days
Nasal splints may be used for added support
Most patients return to work within 7-10 days
Final results gradually appear over 6-12 months as swelling subsides
Improvements in breathing and nasal function may be felt within weeks

The nose has a vast blood supply, which contributes to post-surgical swelling. While the majority of swelling subsides within 6 weeks, subtle refinements continue to develop over several months.

Most patients resume non-strenuous work within 7-10 days, once initial swelling and bruising subside.

Each person’s facial anatomy is unique, and while inspiration photos can guide the surgical plan, the best results are customized to complement an individual’s facial features.

Significant improvement is noticeable within 4-6 weeks, but the full outcome takes 6-12 months as residual swelling gradually diminishes.

Teenagers who have completed nasal development—typically 15-16 years old for girls and 16+ for boys—can undergo rhinoplasty with parental guidance and realistic expectations.
