Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping Surgery)
What is the Procedure?
Rhinoplasty is a facial plastic surgery that reshapes or resizes the nose to enhance facial harmony or improve breathing. It may involve modifying the bone, cartilage, and skin to achieve a more refined or balanced nasal contour.
Types of Rhinoplasty:
- Dorsal hump or bump on the bridge
- Wide or flared nostrils
- Droopy or bulbous nasal tip
- Deviated septum or breathing issues
- Nasal asymmetry or trauma deformity
How the Procedure is Done:
- Performed under general anesthesia
- Depending on the type, incisions are made inside the nose or across the columella
- Cartilage and bone are sculpted or repositioned
- Sutures are placed, and nasal splints are used for support during recovery
- Surgery takes 1.5 to 4 hours on average

FAQs
Is rhinoplasty painful?
Discomfort is mild and controlled with pain medications. Most patients report only pressure or congestion.
How long is the downtime?
You’ll need 7–10 days off work/social events. Bruising fades in 2 weeks; swelling takes a few months to fully subside.
Can I breathe normally after surgery?
Breathing may be slightly difficult for the first week but improves as swelling reduces.
Are the results permanent?
Yes. Rhinoplasty results are permanent, although the final shape evolves over 6–12 months.
Can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?
Not directly over the nose for 4–6 weeks. Alternatives like taping glasses to the forehead may be advised.
What if I don’t like the outcome?
Most outcomes are satisfying with realistic expectations. If not, revision rhinoplasty is an option after full healing (1 year).
