Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping Surgery)
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the shape, structure, and function of the nose. Whether performed for aesthetic refinement or medical correction (such as correcting breathing difficulties or nasal deformities), rhinoplasty helps achieve facial balance and harmony.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape, structure, and functionality of the nose. It is performed for both cosmetic improvements and medical reasons, such as correcting breathing issues or nasal deformities.
Benefits of Rhinoplasty
- Enhances facial harmony by reshaping the nose
- Corrects a deviated septum for improved breathing
- Provides long-lasting and natural-looking results
- Boosts self-confidence and facial aesthetics
Types of Rhinoplasty :
-
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Focuses on reshaping the nose for aesthetic improvement, including refining the tip, narrowing the nostrils, or reducing the nasal hump.
-
Functional Rhinoplasty
Addresses medical concerns like a deviated septum, nasal obstructions, or breathing difficulties.
-
Revision Rhinoplasty
Performed to correct or refine the results of a previous nose surgery.
Benefits of Rhinoplasty
The surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation. Incisions are made either inside the nose (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) for open rhinoplasty. The nasal structure is reshaped using cartilage from the septum, ear, or ribs if needed. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours, with visible improvements after swelling subsides.
Recovery & Results
Patients may experience swelling and bruising for the first two weeks, with full results visible within 6-12 months. Proper aftercare ensures a smooth recovery, and patients can resume daily activities within 10-14 days.
