What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reconstruct the nose. It can be performed for:

• Cosmetic Reasons : To improve the size, shape, symmetry, or overall appearance of the nose.
• Functional Reasons : To correct structural issues such as a deviated septum, nasal obstruction, or trauma-related deformities that affect breathing.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most versatile and transformative procedures available, offering both aesthetic and health benefits.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty include individuals who:

• Are dissatisfied with the size, shape, or proportion of their nose.
• Experience breathing difficulties due to structural abnormalities like a deviated septum or collapsed nasal valves.
• Have suffered trauma or injury to the nose resulting in deformities.
• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.

While rhinoplasty is more common among adults, it can also be performed on teenagers once facial growth is complete (typically around age 15–16).

Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures

We offer a range of rhinoplasty options tailored to meet your unique goals and needs:

1. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

• Common adjustments include:
  • Reducing or increasing the size of the nose.
  • Refining the nasal tip for a more defined look.
  • Straightening a crooked nose.
  • Smoothing out bumps or humps on the bridge.

2. Functional Rhinoplasty

• Focuses on correcting structural issues that impair breathing.
• Includes procedures such as:
  • Septoplasty : Corrects a deviated septum to improve airflow.
  • Turbinate Reduction : Reduces enlarged turbinates to alleviate nasal congestion.
  • Repair of nasal valve collapse or other obstructions.

3. Revision Rhinoplasty

• Performed to correct unsatisfactory results from a previous rhinoplasty or address new issues that arise over time.

4. Ethnic Rhinoplasty

5. Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Liquid Rhinoplasty)

The Procedure: What to Expect

1. Consultation and Planning :

   • During your initial consultation, our surgeon will discuss your goals, evaluate your nasal structure, and create a customized treatment plan.
   • Advanced imaging may be used to simulate potential results and ensure alignment with your expectations.

2. Surgery :

   • Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia or sedation and typically takes 1–3 hours , depending on complexity.
   • The procedure may involve either an open approach (small external incision) or a closed approach (incisions inside the nostrils).

3. Recovery :

   • A splint or bandage may be placed on the nose to support healing.
   • Swelling and bruising are normal and typically subside within 1–2 weeks.
   • Most patients return to work and light activities within 1–2 weeks, though full results may take several months as swelling resolves.
