Rhinoplasty Surgery

A rhinoplasty involves changing the size or shape of the nose. When nasal function is compromised, it can improve breathing or improve facial appearance. This procedure, which is carried out by skilled plastic or facial plastic surgeons, takes care of both functional and cosmetic needs. One common term for rhinoplasty is nose job.

What happens during a rhinoplasty procedure?

• Lifts nasal skin to access bone and cartilage.

• Secures everything with small, precise stitches.

• Repositions skin back over the new nasal framework.

• Makes small incisions inside the nostrils or at the nose base.

• Reshapes structure by reducing, adding, or adjusting bone and cartilage.

What are the advantages of rhinoplasty?

• Creates balanced facial symmetry.

• Modifies nose proportions as needed.

• Improves airflow for comfortable breathing.

• Addresses functional defects inside the nose.

How can I speed up healing after rhinoplasty?

• Keep your head elevated, especially while sleeping.

• Take approved pain medicine only as your surgeon advises.

• Avoid strain: no heavy lifting, nose blowing, or sun exposure.

• Use cool compresses on cheeks or under eyes, not the nose.

• Protect your face from any pressure, bumps, or heavy glasses.
