Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed today. This surgery effectively reshapes and resizes a patient’s nose to a more desired contour. The majority of individuals who undergo nose reshaping surgery are dissatisfied with the appearance of their noses and wish to improve the proportions of their facial features

Rhinoplasty surgery can alter nose bridge, correct a large dorsal hump, make the nose looks smaller, correct a deviated or crooked nose, sharpen and define the nasal tip and improve the contour of nose and corrects bumps or irregularities.

You may be a candidate for rhinoplasty if you are physically healthy, you have realistic expectations, you have emotional stability and you must be age 18+.

 Preparation:

• Stop smoking for 2 weeks before surgery and 4 weeks after the surgery.
• Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and oral supplements as they can increase bleeding

Surgical procedure: 1 hour

Rhinoplasty Steps

Step 1 – Anesthesia

Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure.

Steps 2-The incision

Rhinoplasty is usually performed by making incision hidden inside the nose.

Step 3 – Reshaping the nose structure

• Silicone nasal implants are considerably known as altering the nose bridge.
• Sometimes surgery of the nose may require the addition of cartilage grafts.
• For those people having a large nose may be reduced by removing bone or cartilage.

Step 4 – Closing the incision

Rhinoplasty recovery period

During your rhinoplasty recovery period, a splint or bandages will be placed on the outside to support and protect the new structures during initial healing.

While initial swelling subsides within a few weeks, it may take up to a year for your new nasal contour to fully refine to a more permanent outcome.  Scars are usually well hidden inside nose and normally fade in time.
