Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a "nose job" or "nose reshaping," is a popular surgical procedure that many individuals undergo to harmonize the shape of their nose with their facial features. Rhinoplasty stands out as the most commonly sought-after surgical intervention, primarily due to its accessibility and the fact that the nose plays a central role in facial aesthetics.

Rhinoplasty may be the suitable choice for you if you have any of the following concerns:

• Your nose appears either too small or too large in relation to the rest of your facial proportions.
• The size of your nostrils or the nasal bridge is not in harmony with the overall size of your nose.
• Your nasal bridge exhibits irregular bumps or depressions.
• The shape of your nasal tip doesn't align with your preferences.

Another medical, rather than purely aesthetic, reason for opting for rhinoplasty is the desire to address obstructed nasal passages. Medically known as septum deviation correction, this procedure widens or realigns the airway, resulting in improved airflow and breathing.

• The Ideal Candidate

  There are no specific limitations on who can undergo rhinoplasty, as it primarily focuses on cosmetic enhancements. Therefore, individuals seeking alterations to their nose's appearance are eligible for the procedure. Additionally, for those with nasal obstruction issues, rhinoplasty may be suggested.

  Nevertheless, it's crucial to temper your expectations. If you anticipate significant transformations in your appearance, rhinoplasty alone may not be the sole solution to consider.

• Rhinoplasty recovery

  A splint or packing is provided to provide support to the new structure both internally and externally.

  Initial swelling is expected to occur within the first few weeks, and if you notice a sudden increase in swelling, especially during the daytime, there is no need for concern as this is a common occurrence in individuals who have undergone rhinoplasty and typically does not indicate any issues. However, if you start experiencing significant discomfort, it is advisable to prioritize a visit to your cosmetic surgeon.

  The nasal contour will gradually take on a defined shape over a period of time, usually spanning about a year.

  The Doctor will provide you with post-procedure instructions tailored to your specific needs. These instructions will primarily consist of guidelines on what to do and what not to do, along with your prescribed medications and follow-up schedule.
