What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure used to reshape the nose. A surgeon can increase or decrease the size of the nose, refine the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or adjust the angle between the nose and the upper lip. Patients considering facial contouring procedures may also explore double chin removal surgery to achieve a more balanced and defined facial profile. Rhinoplasty is performed both to improve appearance and to correct breathing problems, birth-related irregularities, and marks left by injury.

Recovery & Results:

Swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first 3–4 weeks, and healing from rhinoplasty is generally slower than other cosmetic procedures patience is important. Most patients notice a visible improvement within 2–3 weeks, contours continue to sharpen over 3–6 months, and the final, permanent result is typically visible at 10–12 months. Results are long-lasting, though natural aging may bring minor changes over time. If further refinement is ever wanted, a smaller, less extensive follow-up procedure can be considered.

 

 

 

Benefits of Rhinoplasty:

Who Is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Generally, our surgeons advise against this surgery for very young patients, since the nose isn’t fully developed.

This surgery is best suited to someone who wants to:

• Regain self confidence in their appearance
• Achieve a specific aesthetic goal
• Correct a birth related nasal deformity
• Fix a breathing problem linked to nasal structure
• Revise the outcome of a previous rhinoplasty

How to Prepare for Surgery:

Every patient is given a pre-surgical instructional guide, and following it closely is essential for the best possible outcome. You’ll be asked to:

• Stop smoking at least one week before surgery
• Discontinue aspirin or anti-inflammatory medication 1–2 weeks prior
• Share your full medical history during consultation, including any previous nasal surgery

How Is the Surgery Performed?

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under local sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of your case. In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nose, leaving no visible external scarring  for more complex reshaping, open rhinoplasty is used, involving a small incision across the columella that heals into a barely noticeable scar. The surgeon separates the skin from the underlying bone and cartilage, reshapes this framework according to your goals, and then re drapes the skin back into place. A splint is applied afterward to protect and stabilise the new shape, and soft nasal packing may be used to support the septum during healing.

Types of Rhinoplasty We Offer:

• Open Rhinoplasty:  for major reshaping, correcting deformities, or revision cases
• Closed Rhinoplasty:  minimally invasive, no visible scarring, faster recovery
• Ultrasonic (Piezo) Rhinoplasty: precise bone reshaping with less bruising
• Revision Rhinoplasty: corrects unsatisfactory results from a previous nose job
• Ethnic & Male Rhinoplasty: reshaping tailored to natural facial proportions
• Liquid (Non-Surgical) Rhinoplasty:  filler-based reshaping with no downtime

What Risks Are Involved in Rhinoplasty?

Thousands of patients undergo rhinoplasty every year with satisfying results, but as with any surgery, some risks exist. These are usually minor and temporary:

• Hematoma (blood collecting under the skin, occasionally requiring drainage)
• Infection
• Reaction to anesthesia
• Temporary numbness
• Swelling and bruising
• Mild to moderate pain
• In rare cases, unsatisfactory results requiring a follow-up revision

Post-Operative Care:

• Sleep with your head elevated on 3–4 pillows for the first few days to reduce swelling
• Avoid strenuous activity jumping, heavy lifting, bending for up to 3 weeks
• Protect your nose from direct sunlight; use sunblock before going outdoors
• Apply icepacks as advised to control swelling
• Expect bruising around the cheeks and eyes for 1–2 weeks
• Wear your nasal splint as instructed and keep it dry
• Avoid heavy glasses on the nasal bridge for several weeks; use supported frames or tape if needed
• Attend all scheduled follow-up visits
