Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly called a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that reshapes and redefines the nose to achieve aesthetic and functional improvements. Whether you seek to enhance your facial harmony or correct a structural issue, Rhinoplasty helps you achieve the desired result.
Achieve Aesthetic and functional balance with Rhinoplasty.
- Rhinoplasty goes beyond simply altering the nose’s appearance; it addresses the delicate balance between aesthetics and functionality. While many individuals pursue Rhinoplasty to enhance their facial proportions and boost their self-esteem, others choose the procedure to alleviate breathing difficulties caused by structural abnormalities. This dual-purpose nature of Rhinoplasty underscores its significance as a transformative procedure that enhances external appearance and improves overall well-being.
Deciding to undergo Rhinoplasty is a significant step that requires careful consideration and informed choices. Before embarking on this transformative journey, evaluating various factors to determine if Rhinoplasty aligns with your goals and expectations is important.
Consideration Checklist:
- Personal Motivation: Reflect on your reasons for wanting Rhinoplasty. Are they driven by a desire for aesthetic enhancement, functional improvement, or both?
- Health and Wellness: Ensure you are healthy enough to undergo surgery and the subsequent recovery period.
- Realistic Expectations: Understand that Rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance but won’t make you look like someone else. Realistic expectations are crucial for a satisfying outcome.
- Specific Concerns: Identify the aspects of your nose that you’d like to address. Whether it’s a hump, asymmetry, bulbous tip, or breathing difficulties, understanding your concerns will help guide your consultation.
- Emotional Readiness: Be mentally prepared for the process, including the surgical and recovery phases.
- Commitment to Aftercare: Rhinoplasty requires adherence to post-operative care instructions for optimal healing and results.

Preparation Before Surgery:
- Proper preparation before your rhinoplasty procedure ensures a safe and successful surgical experience and a smooth recovery. Here are detailed pre-operative instructions and guidelines to help you prepare effectively:
Pre-Operative Instructions and Guidelines:
- Follow Fasting Guidelines: Your surgeon will provide specific fasting instructions regarding food and drink before surgery. Adhering to these guidelines is crucial to prevent complications during anesthesia.
- Discontinue Medications: Inform your surgeon about all your medications, supplements, and herbal remedies. Some medications, like blood thinners and certain pain relievers, may need to be temporarily discontinued before surgery.
- Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: Both smoking and alcohol can interfere with your body’s ability to heal properly. It’s advisable to abstain from these substances for a specified period before and after surgery.
- Hydration: Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your surgery. Proper hydration can aid in recovery and contribute to overall well-being.
- Arrange Transportation: As you’ll likely be under anesthesia, it’s important to arrange for someone to drive you to and from the surgical facility on the day of the procedure.
Importance of Disclosing Medical History and Medications:
Your surgeon needs a comprehensive understanding of your medical history and any medications you’re taking to ensure your safety. Disclosing this information helps the surgical team make informed decisions and tailor the procedure to your needs.

The journey begins with a thorough consultation with your surgeon. You’ll share your goals, concerns, and desired changes during this discussion. Your surgeon will assess your nasal anatomy, discuss your expectations, and determine the best approach for your unique case.
On the day of the procedure, you’ll be placed under either general anaesthesia or intravenous sedation, ensuring your comfort and pain-free experience throughout the surgery.
Rhinoplasty can be performed using either an open or closed approach, each suited to different cases:
- Open Rhinoplasty: Involves an incision made across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) and additional internal incisions. This approach offers direct visibility and access to the nasal structures, making it suitable for complex cases.
- Closed Rhinoplasty: The incisions are confined within the nostrils, resulting in no external scars. This approach is ideal for minor adjustments requiring less invasive reshaping.
- Once the incisions are made, your surgeon will carefully reshape the nasal bones, cartilage, and tissues according to the predetermined plan. Adjustments can include reducing a dorsal hump, refining the nasal tip, straightening the septum, and achieving symmetrical proportions.
- If functional issues are being addressed, such as a deviated septum, your surgeon will perform corrective procedures to enhance airflow and alleviate breathing difficulties.
- Computer imaging lets your surgeon simulate potential post-operative results visually. This tool aids in aligning your expectations with achievable outcomes, enhancing communication between you and your surgeon.
The incisions are meticulously closed using sutures after making necessary adjustments. Nasal splints or packing may be applied to support the newly reshaped structures and aid in proper healing.
- The initial recovery period involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which gradually subside. Follow-up appointments with your surgeon are essential to monitor progress, remove sutures, and ensure your healing is on track.
The choice between open and closed Rhinoplasty depends on factors such as the complexity of the procedure, the surgeon’s preference, and your specific needs. Computer imaging is a powerful tool that helps you visualise potential outcomes, enhancing your understanding of the possibilities and assisting in making informed decisions.
Remember, the success of your rhinoplasty journey relies on the expertise of your surgeon, their understanding of your desires, and your commitment to following post-operative care instructions.
Understanding what to expect during and after your rhinoplasty procedure is crucial for a smooth recovery and optimal results. Here’s a comprehensive overview:
Typical Experience on the Day of Surgery:
- Arrival: You’ll arrive at the surgical facility, where the medical team will ensure you’re comfortable and ready for the procedure.

- Surgery: The surgical team will perform the Rhinoplasty according to the predetermined plan. The procedure duration depends on the complexity.
- Recovery: After surgery, you’ll be monitored as you wake up from anesthesia. Once you’re alert and stable, you can return home with a designated caregiver.

- Care Instructions: Follow your surgeon’s specific instructions, which may include keeping your head elevated, avoiding strenuous activities, and adhering to a gentle cleansing routine for your incisions.
- Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising are expected and will gradually subside over the first few weeks. Cold compresses and proper head elevation can help minimize these effects.
- Nasal Packing and Splints: If used, nasal packing and splints will be removed during a follow-up visit, typically within the first week.
