Introduction
Are you considering reshaping your nose? but deciding to undergo rhinoplasty is not a choice to be made lightly. It’s crucial to clearly establish your goals and expectations for the treatment.
Overview
Rhinoplasty is a type of plastic surgery that changes the nose’s shape and size.
Some people have cosmetic rhinoplasty to improve how their nose and face look.
Others undergo functional rhinoplasty, which improves breathing and nasal function.
Benefits of rhinoplasty surgery
The benefits of a rhinoplasty surgery include:
- Changing the shape and size of your nose.
- Improving your facial appearance.
- Correcting any structural abnormalities of your nose like a deviated septum.
- Improving how you breathe out of your nose.
prepare for rhinoplasty surgery
Before having a rhinoplasty surgery, you should schedule a thorough consultation with your surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations.
It’s essential to understand the procedure, recovery process, and any potential risks involved.
Additionally, consider arranging for someone to help you at home after the surgery, as you may need assistance during the initial recovery period.
Be sure to follow any pre-operative instructions given by your doctor, including dietary restrictions or medications to avoid.
steps of rhinoplasty procedure
Rhinoplasty procedure includes the following steps:
Step 1 –Anesthesia:
During the rhinoplasty surgery, general or local anesthesia is applied, depending on the patient’s health condition.
Step 2 –The incision:
Rhinoplasty is performed either using a closed procedure, where incisions are hidden inside the nose, or an open procedure, where an incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils.
Step 3 –Reshaping the nose structure:
The shape of the bones or cartilage in your nose can be changed in several ways. It depends on how much needs to be taken out or added, the nose’s structure and available materials.
An overly large nose may be reduced by removing bone or cartilage. Sometimes surgery of the nose may require the addition of cartilage grafts. For small changes, cartilage may be taken from deeper inside the nose or from the ear.
Step 4 –Correcting a deviated septum:
If the septum is deviated, it can be straightened and the projections inside the nose reduced to improve breathing.
Step 5 –Closing the incision:
Once the underlying structure of the nose is sculpted to the desired shape, nasal skin and tissue is redraped and incisions are closed. Additional incisions may be placed in the natural creases of the nostrils to alter their size.
Step 6 –See the results:
For a few days, splints and gauze packing may support the nose as it begins to heal.
recovery after rhinoplasty surgery
Recovery after rhinoplasty surgery is crucial for achieving the best results. You will likely experience swelling and bruising around your nose and eyes, which is completely normal.
It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully. This may include avoiding strenuous activities and keeping your head elevated to minimize swelling.
risks and complications of rhinoplasty
There are many risks and complications of rhinoplasty, which are listed below:
Infection :
Infection is a rare complication of rhinoplasty surgery, and your surgeon will prescribe a prophylactic course of antibiotics for you to take for the first week after your procedure.
Bleeding or haematoma formation :
when a septorhinoplasty is performed, there is a small risk of a septal haematoma forming. This can be easily treated in the clinic but must be recognised early to ensure prompt and effective treatment.
Delayed wound healing :
This is a common complication in patients who continue to smoke both before and after the procedure. This is why we always recommend all smokers stop smoking at least four weeks before and after surgery to reduce the risk of wound healing complications.
Excessive scarring :
This complication can be minimised by the accurate placement of the incision for open rhinoplasty and with proper post-operative scar management. It should be remembered that scars may take up to 12 months to fully mature.
Numbness of the nose tip :
Numbness or tingling affecting the nasal tip is a temporary side effect which should gradually improve between 3 to 6 months after surgery. It is most commonly related to rhinoplasty swelling, which may take up to 12 months to disappear after surgery.
Persistent pain :
This is a rare complication and can be effectively managed with adequate postoperative pain relief and reducing activities which may increase nose swelling, such as carrying out strenuous exercise too soon after surgery

The results can lead to significant psychological benefits as well, as individuals often feel more comfortable and satisfied with their appearance, positively impacting their social interactions and overall quality of life.
Where should rhinoplasty surgery be performed?
Rhinoplasty surgery should ideally be performed in a reputable medical facility that specializes in cosmetic procedures. This includes accredited outpatient surgical centers or hospitals equipped with the latest technology and hygiene standards.

The healing time for scars after rhinoplasty surgery varies among individuals. Usually, the initial healing of the skin takes about one to two weeks, during which swelling and bruising may occur.
How long after rhinoplasty will I look normal?
After rhinoplasty, the timeline for looking normal varies from person to person. Generally, significant swelling and bruising may last for about one to two weeks, making the appearance quite different from the final result. Most individuals begin to notice substantial improvements within the first month.
