What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose by modifying bone, cartilage, or both. It may be performed for cosmetic reasons, functional concerns, or a combination of the two.
Common goals of rhinoplasty include:
-
Refining nasal size or shape
-
Improving nasal symmetry and facial balance
-
Correcting a dorsal hump or wide nasal bridge
-
Refining a bulbous or drooping nasal tip
-
Straightening a crooked nose
-
Improving breathing or correcting a deviated septum
Each rhinoplasty procedure is individualized — there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach.
Open vs Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty is performed entirely through internal incisions within the nostrils, leaving no visible external scar. This technique is ideal for patients who require moderate refinements to the nasal bridge or tip.
Benefits include:
-
No external incision
-
Reduced swelling
-
Faster recovery for select candidates
Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), allowing for enhanced visualization and precision.
This approach is often recommended for:
-
Complex nasal tip refinement
-
Revision rhinoplasty
-
Significant asymmetry or structural correction
The incision typically heals extremely well and becomes barely noticeable over time.
Ethnic & Revision Rhinoplasty
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Ethnic rhinoplasty focuses on enhancing the nose while preserving cultural identity. Structural support and skin thickness are carefully considered to ensure long-lasting, natural results.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty addresses concerns from a prior nose surgery, such as asymmetry, breathing issues, or dissatisfaction with results. These procedures are more complex and require advanced surgical expertise.
Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
You may be a good candidate if you:
-
Are bothered by the appearance of your nose
-
Have breathing or functional nasal issues
-
Are in good overall health
-

-

A personalized consultation is essential to determine candidacy.

Rhinoplasty FAQs
Will I still look like myself?
Yes — goal is natural refinement based on your facial proportions.
Does rhinoplasty fix breathing?
When combined with septoplasty or valve repair, airflow typically improves significantly.
Will there be visible scars?
In open rhinoplasty, incision softens and becomes nearly invisible under the nose.
How long does rhinoplasty swelling last?
Most swelling resolves within a few weeks, but subtle swelling can persist for up to 12 months, especially at the nasal tip.
What does the nose look like after rhinoplasty week by week?
Each week brings gradual refinement. Early swelling is normal, with progressive improvement over several months.
Is rhinoplasty painful?
Discomfort is usually mild to moderate and well controlled with prescribed medication.
When can I exercise after rhinoplasty?
Light activity may resume after 2 weeks. Strenuous exercise is typically restricted for 4–6 weeks.
