What is Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)?
Rhinoplasty — commonly called a nose job — is a surgical procedure to reshape or reconstruct the nose. It can improve both the appearance and function of the nose by changing bone, cartilage, and skin structure.
Why do people choose Rhinoplasty?
People opt for rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons (to improve nose shape or symmetry) and functional reasons (like correcting a deviated septum, improving breathing, or fixing trauma-related deformities).
What are the Types of Rhinoplasty?
✔ Open Rhinoplasty: Access through a small external incision.
✔ Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils with no visible scar.
✔ Revision Rhinoplasty: Corrects or improves an earlier surgery.
✔ Septorhinoplasty: Combines septum correction (for breathing) with shape enhancement.
Who is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Adults in good health
Those with realistic expectations
Individuals unhappy with nasal appearance or breathing function
Your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, health, and goals to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.
Does Rhinoplasty Improve Breathing?
Yes! Rhinoplasty can correct structural issues (like a deviated septum) and improve airflow, often reducing breathing difficulties and related symptoms.
Will I Have Visible Scars After Rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty: No visible scars, as all incisions are inside the nostrils.
Open rhinoplasty: A small scar under the nasal columella that usually heals well and becomes barely noticeable over time.
How Long is Recovery After Rhinoplasty?
Initial recovery is usually 1–2 weeks.
Most swelling improves within a month, but subtle swelling can continue for months.
Final results often take several months as tissues settle.
