Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and refine the nose for aesthetic enhancement, facial harmony, or improved breathing.
Septoplasty is a functional procedure that corrects a deviated septum, helping to improve airflow and resolve breathing issues.
These procedures can be performed individually or combined, depending on the patient’s goals.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your appearance, correct a structural issue, or both, rhinoplasty and septoplasty offer a personalized solution tailored to your needs.
How is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
The surgeon begins by making precise incisions—either inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils (open rhinoplasty).
Through these incisions, the underlying bone and cartilage are carefully reshaped to achieve the desired contour. In some cases, cartilage grafts from the septum or ear may be used for additional structure and support.
Once reshaping is complete, the skin is re-draped over the new framework and the incisions are closed. A splint is often applied to help maintain the new shape and protect the nose during the initial healing phase.
Post Rhynoplasty Care
Proper post-operative care is essential to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results after rhinoplasty. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common in the first few days, but following your surgeon’s instructions will significantly aid the healing process. It’s important to be patient, as final results may take several months to fully appear.
