What is Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Rhinoplasty, known as a 'nose job,'' is surgery to change the shape of your nose by modifying the bone or cartilage. This procedure also corrects breathing problems, birth defects and repair deformities from an injury. While the excess nasal hump needs to be decreased for some noses; some noses can be too short while others are too long.

Who Needs Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is usually performed to improve the visual appeal of the nose and reconstruct the nose. The genetic draw, trauma, and injury to the nose or a poorly done previous rhinoplasty are the reasons for surgery.

How to Prepare for Rhinoplasty?

There are a few of the factors to consider in order to minimize post operative discomfort and reduce the risk of complications.

How Nose Job is Done?

Rhinoplasty surgery generally takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the type of surgery and patient situations.

Does Rhinoplasty Require General Anesthesia?

The procedure changes for every patient because there are many types and many different aims to achieve with treatment. However, there are certain common steps in every procedure that aims to reshape the nose.

Today, nasal congestion and accompanying breathing complaints are common complaints. One of the reasons for these complaints is the deviation of the septum. The middle part that separates both nostrils is called the nasal septum.

Are you a candidate for revision rhinoplasty?

Original rhinoplasty procedure has resulted in an unwanted outcome for any reason, you may be a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty. Procedure is performed for people who have both aesthetic and functional reasons.

How long do you need to wait before planning a secondary rhinoplasty?

If you are planning a revision rhinoplasty, it is important to wait at least one year. Because before undergoing a surgery you should ensure that all swelling has resolved. Surgeons assess accurately nose after it has had sufficient time to heal.

What is done in a revision rhinoplasty?

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. Although incisions are primarily internal, a small external incision is sometimes used. Surgeons reshape the bone and cartilage of the nose and care to protect the breathing function of the nose.

What to expect of your secondary rhinoplasty recovery timeline?

Although there are some similarities between original and a revision rhinoplasty, recovery process has a few big differences. The recovery period for surgery lasts one or two weeks. And patient need to stay home from work for seven to 10 days following surgery.

What is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

A skilled plastic surgeon may help straighten the lumps that occurred because of impact, reshape the tip of the nose and improve the symmetry of the nose by strategically injecting the filler material in certain points in the nose.

What is the Ideal Age for Rhinoplasty?

The ideal age range for Rhinoplasty are patients aged 20 - 40 years old, during this time your facial skin is still mostly elastic and can accommodate surgical procedures without complications. The earliest age to have surgery is 13 for a female and 15 for a male.

Which Food Should be Avoided After Rhinoplasty?

Try to eat soft and simple food especially during the first few days right after your surgery. Continue drinking enough water and eat food that you know your body can digest. We suggest our patients to avoid salty, spicy food and food that are rich in sodium because salt is known to increase swelling.

How to Sleep After Rhinoplasty?

We suggest you to keep your head (nose) above your heart after rhinoplasty. This can usually be ensured with 3-4 pillows. You can place pillows in both sides in order to ease staying in this position. You can put things on both sides in order to help turn to your side or on your tummy.

How Can a Nose that Recovered Crookedly Be Corrected? (Secondary Rhinoplasty)

Crooked noses can be corrected with a secondary surgery. This can be performed as open reduction of nose muscle fracture due to trauma. If there is no history of trauma, it is considered as more of a cosmetic procedure and rhinoplasty deals with this situation. How a crooked nose can be improved depends where the crookedness is.

When Can Patients Start Doing Heavy Exercise After Rhinoplasty?

After at least 3 weeks. Heavy lifting increases your blood pressure and especially the pressure on the face and nose area when you hold your breath. This may cause nose bleeding. Besides, if a weight falls on your nose in the first 3 weeks, it has a high risk of breaking your nose. It takes 3 weeks for your nose bones to recover sufficiently against mild trauma.

What Causes Nasal Hump?

Nasal hump is in the shape of a lump on nasal bridge. It usually results from genetics, but you may also see a bulge if you break your nose. The bone in the shape of dorsal hump is typically formed by a mix of bone and cartilage, the percentage is different for every patient. If the radix, the upper part of your nose near your eyes, is also deep, the hump may appear bigger.

When Will The Results Of Rhinoplasty Be Visible?

It takes up to a year or longer to see the final results.

How to Prepare for Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty starts when the meeting is done and the patient is examined before the operation. Bone and cartilage structure of the nose, curvature in nose, the angle of forehead and lips with nose, the shape of the nose tip are of great importance.

How Long Does The Operation Last?

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia or a combination of local and sedation anesthesia. The operation lasts about an hour and half. The duration of the operation might be longer if the nose is traumatized, clearly deformed or hard to shape.

Does Rhinoplasty Leave Permanent Scars On Skin?

We perform rhinoplasty through a close surgery method in which all the cutting and shaping are done inside of the nose. Therefore, it leaves no scar on the skin.

How Is The Post-Surgical Process?

Patients do not need to stay at the hospital after the operation. In the first 6 hours, patients may feel dullness and a dull ache which is responsive to painkillers. They may experience a slight swelling and cyanosis, but they fade within a week. Small silicon splints which are placed into the nostrils are removed after 2-5 days.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose for aesthetic or functional purposes. Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures worldwide. It allows patients to refine the shape, size, and structure of their nose for better facial harmony. But it’s not just about aesthetics. Rhinoplasty can also improve breathing by correcting structural issues like a deviated septum.

Functional vs. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty: Focuses on improving the nose’s appearance by modifying its size, shape, or symmetry. Common goals include narrowing the bridge, refining the tip, or reducing nostril width.
Functional Rhinoplasty: Aims to improve nasal airflow and correct structural abnormalities, such as a deviated septum or collapsed nasal valves.

How Rhinoplasty Enhances Appearance & Breathing?

A well-performed rhinoplasty can create facial harmony while also resolving breathing difficulties caused by anatomical issues. Many patients seek the procedure to correct congenital defects, traumatic injuries, or dissatisfaction with their natural nasal shape.

Why Do People Choose Rhinoplasty?

People seek rhinoplasty for various reasons, including:

Aesthetic concerns: A hump on the bridge, wide nostrils, a droopy nasal tip, or asymmetry can be corrected.
Breathing difficulties: A deviated septum or other structural issues can cause chronic breathing problems.
Trauma correction: Injuries from accidents or sports can result in nasal deformities.
Revision surgery: Some patients may require a second surgery if they are dissatisfied with previous rhinoplasty results.

Anatomy of the Nose & It's Role in Rhinoplasty

Understanding the nose’s complex anatomy is crucial for a successful rhinoplasty. The nose is composed of bone, cartilage, and soft tissue, all of which interact to define its shape and function.

Key Components of Nasal Structure

Nasal Bone: Forms the upper portion of the nose and contributes to the nasal bridge.
Cartilage: Provides structure and support to the middle and lower sections.
Septum: The wall of cartilage and bone that separates the nostrils; deviations can cause breathing issues.
Turbinates: Structures inside the nose that help humidify and filter air.
Nasal Tip: The lower part of the nose, which plays a significant role in its overall appearance.

We always offer you the best service in our comfortable and hygienic hospitals

Can Rhinoplasty Completely Change My Nose Shape?

While rhinoplasty can dramatically alter nasal appearance, it must be performed within anatomical limitations. Overcorrection can lead to unnatural results or functional issues.

How Nasal Anatomy Influences Surgical Techniques?

Each patient’s unique nasal structure dictates the surgical approach. For example, individuals with thick nasal skin may require different refinements than those with thin skin. Surgeons must also consider airflow and internal support to maintain proper nasal function.

The Importance of Nasal Airflow & Function

A successful rhinoplasty should not only improve aesthetics but also maintain or enhance breathing function. Procedures like septoplasty and nasal valve repair are often combined with rhinoplasty to ensure optimal airflow.

Patient Reviews

Different Nose Types & Their Influence on Rhinoplasty

Nose shapes vary significantly due to ethnicity, genetics, and individual facial proportions. A personalized approach is essential to achieve natural-looking results that complement the patient’s unique features.

Ethnic Considerations in Rhinoplasty

Different ethnic backgrounds often present distinct nasal characteristics, requiring specialized techniques:

Middle Eastern noses: Often have a dorsal hump and a droopy tip. Reduction and refinement techniques are commonly used.
Asian noses: Typically have a lower bridge and wider nostrils. Augmentation techniques using cartilage grafting may be required.
African noses: Tend to have a broad nasal base and thicker skin. Reshaping often involves nostril narrowing and tip definition.
Caucasian noses: Can vary widely but often involve dorsal hump reduction or tip refinement.

Common Nasal Shapes & Their Impact on Rhinoplasty

Hooked Nose: Characterized by a prominent bump on the nasal bridge. Correction involves hump reduction and tip refinement.
Bulbous Nose: A round and wide nasal tip, which can be refined by reshaping the cartilage.
Wide Nose: A broad nasal structure requiring narrowing techniques, often through osteotomies (controlled bone fractures).
Flat Nose: A low nasal bridge, often found in Asian and African ethnicities, which may require augmentation.

A skilled rhinoplasty surgeon considers facial harmony while customizing the procedure to the patient’s goals and unique nasal structure.

Rhinoplasty Techniques (Based on Surgical Approach)

Surgeons use different rhinoplasty techniques based on the patient’s needs and the complexity of the case. The primary methods include:

Open Rhinoplasty

Involves an incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) for full nasal access.

Best for: Major reshaping, revision cases, or complex structural issues.
Pros: Provides maximum visibility for precise adjustments.
Cons: Longer healing time and potential scarring.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars.

Best for: Minor to moderate adjustments.
Pros: Faster healing and no visible scarring.
Cons: Limited surgical access.

Ultrasonic (Piezo) Rhinoplasty

Uses ultrasound technology to precisely reshape nasal bones without damaging soft tissue.

Best for: Refining the bridge with minimal trauma.Ideal for patients requiring delicate bone work, such as hump reduction.
Pros: Reduced swelling, faster healing, and improved accuracy.
Cons: Requires specialized equipment and expertise.

Tip Rhinoplasty (Tip Plasty)

Focuses only on reshaping the nasal tip without altering the bridge or bone.

Best for: Addressing bulbous, drooping, or asymmetrical tips.
Pros: Less invasive with quicker recovery.
Cons: Limited impact on the overall nasal structure.

Septoplasty

Corrects a deviated septum to improve breathing.
Often combined with rhinoplasty for both functional and aesthetic improvements.

Best for: Patients experiencing breathing difficulties.
Pros: Enhances nasal function and can be combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty.
Cons: Does not significantly change nasal appearance.

Rhinoplasty with Cartilage Grafting

Uses cartilage from the septum, ear, or ribs to support nasal structure.

Best for: Reconstructive cases or revision rhinoplasty.
Pros: Provides additional support and natural results.
Cons: Requires a secondary surgical site.

Comparison Table: Surgical Rhinoplasty Techniques

Technique	Incision Location	Recovery Time	Best For
Open Rhinoplasty	External (columella)	Longer	Major reshaping, revisions
Closed Rhinoplasty	Inside nostrils	Faster	Minor adjustments
Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty	Internal	Faster	Bone refinement
Tip Rhinoplasty	Internal/ Columella	Short	Tip refinement
Septoplasty	Internal	Medium	Breathing issues
Cartilage Grafting	Varies	Longer	Major reconstruc- tion

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty: Which One is Better?

Open Rhinoplasty is preferred for complex reconstructions, significant reshaping, or revision surgeries.
Closed Rhinoplasty is better for minor refinements and quicker recovery.

The choice of technique depends on the individual’s anatomy, his/her expectations, and the surgeon’s expertise.

At Vanity Cosmetic Surgery Hospital, we have performed both techniques thousands of times, helping over 10,000 rhinoplasty patients achieve the nose they’ve always dreamed of.

Rhinoplasty Types (Based on Purpose)

Rhinoplasty can be classified into three based on its purpose These are aesthetic enhancement, functional improvement or correction of previous surgery outcomes. Understanding the different types can help patients make informed decisions about their procedures.

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty: Enhancing Facial Aesthetics

Cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed to improve the appearance of the nose without necessarily addressing functional issues. Patients may seek this surgery to:

Reduce or remove a dorsal hump.
Refine the nasal tip (bulbous, drooping, or asymmetrical tips).
Narrow a wide nasal bridge.
Improve nasal symmetry.

Functional Rhinoplasty: Improving Breathing Function

Unlike cosmetic rhinoplasty, functional rhinoplasty aims to correct structural nasal problems that impair breathing. This is often performed for patients suffering from:

Deviated septum (treated through septoplasty).
Nasal valve collapse (which causes airway obstruction).
Turbinate hypertrophy (enlarged nasal turbinates that block airflow).

Revision Rhinoplasty: Correcting Previous Surgery

A revision rhinoplasty (also called secondary rhinoplasty) is performed when a patient is unhappy with the results of their initial nose surgery. Common reasons include:

Over-reduction or over-correction of nasal structures.
Persistent breathing problems due to excessive tissue removal.
Asymmetry or unnatural-looking results.

Because scar tissue from the first surgery can make revision rhinoplasty more complex, cartilage grafting is sometimes necessary to restore structure.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Enhancing While Preserving Cultural Identity

Ethnic rhinoplasty is tailored to patients of Asian, Middle Eastern, African, or Hispanic descent who want to refine their nose without erasing their natural ethnic features.

Here are common techniques used in ethnic rhinoplasty to address specific concerns while preserving cultural identity:

Asian Rhinoplasty:

Augmenting a low nasal bridge using implants or cartilage grafts.
Refining the nasal tip for more definition.

Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty:

Reducing a prominent dorsal hump.
Refining and lifting the nasal tip for better balance.

African Rhinoplasty:

Narrowing wide nostrils (alar base reduction).
Building up the nasal bridge for more projection.
Refining the nasal tip for improved definition.

Hispanic Rhinoplasty:

Reshaping a bulbous nasal tip.
Reducing a wide or flat nasal bridge if desired.
Enhancing tip projection and overall facial balance.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Liquid Nose Job

For those who want a temporary nose enhancement, liquid rhinoplasty (also called non-surgical rhinoplasty) is an option. This procedure uses dermal fillers (like hyaluronic acid) to:

Smooth out minor bumps.
Raise a low nasal bridge.
Create symmetry without surgery.

But don’t forget, this method cannot reduce the size of the nose or correct major structural issues and its results are not permanent

Preservation Rhinoplasty: Modern, Less-Invasive Approach

Preservation rhinoplasty is an advanced technique that modifies nasal structures while preserving as much of the original tissue as possible. It is different from traditional rhinoplasty because it:

Avoids aggressive removal of cartilage and bone.
Preserves the nasal dorsum (bridge) for a more natural look.
Results in less swelling, bruising, and a quicker recovery.

Comparison of Rhinoplasty Types

Rhinoplasty Type	Pros	Cons
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty	Customizable results, boosts confidence	Doesn’t improve breathings
Functional Rhinoplasty	Enhances airflow, may be covered by insurance	Limited cosmetic changes
Revision Rhinoplasty	Restores function and aesthetics	More complex, longer healing
Ethnic Rhinoplasty	Customized for different ethnic features	Requires experienced surgeon
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty	No surgery, quick results	Temporary, can’t fix major issues
Preservation Rhinoplasty	Less swelling, more natural results	Not suitable for drastic changes

Rhinoplasty in Men: What’s Different?

While rhinoplasty is commonly associated with women, male rhinoplasty has gained popularity due to increasing awareness of facial aesthetics.

Key Differences Between Male & Female Rhinoplasty

Masculine Features: Male noses typically have a stronger bridge, wider base, and larger size. A successful male rhinoplasty maintains strength and definition rather than creating a delicate look.
Less Upturning of the Tip: A slightly upturned nasal tip is common in female rhinoplasty but is avoided in male patients.
Thicker Skin: Men often have thicker nasal skin, which affects swelling and healing time.

Common Male Rhinoplasty Goals

Reducing a dorsal hump without over-refining the bridge.
Straightening a crooked nose (often due to injury or trauma).
Improving breathing by correcting a deviated septum.
Maintaining a strong, masculine profile.

A well-performed male rhinoplasty should enhance facial symmetry and strength while ensuring natural results.

Who is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Before undergoing rhinoplasty, patients should meet specific health and psychological criteria.

Ideal Age & Health Conditions for Rhinoplasty

Recommended for individuals 18 years and older (after nasal growth is complete).
Must be in good physical health with no serious medical conditions.
Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking, as smoking impairs healing.

Common Reasons for Rhinoplasty

Aesthetic concerns (hump, crooked nose, wide nostrils, bulbous tip).
Functional issues (breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum or nasal obstruction).
Trauma correction (injuries, fractures).
Congenital deformities (cleft nasal deformities, asymmetry).

Psychological Readiness & Realistic Expectations

Patients should have a clear motivation for rhinoplasty, avoiding external pressure or unrealistic expectations.
Understanding that final results take up to a year to fully develop.

Rhinoplasty Procedure Explained

Undergoing a rhinoplasty involves several steps, from pre-surgery preparations to the actual procedure and post-operative care. Understanding what happens at each stage can help patients feel more confident and prepared for their surgery.

What Happens Before, During, and After Rhinoplasty?

Step 1 – Anesthesia

Patients receive either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
The choice depends on the complexity of the procedure and the surgeon’s preference.

Step 2 – Incisions

Open Rhinoplasty: An incision is made across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), allowing full access to the nasal structure.
Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars.

Step 3 – Reshaping the Nose Structure

If the nose is too large, bone or cartilage is removed to refine its shape.
If additional structure is needed, cartilage grafting (from the septum, ear, or rib) is used.

Step 4 – Correcting a Deviated Septum

If breathing issues exist, the septum is straightened, and airway obstructions are cleared.

Step 5 – Closing the Incisions

The nasal tissue is carefully repositioned.
Incisions are closed with fine sutures.

Step 6 – Immediate Post-Surgery Care

A splint and gauze packing are placed inside the nose to support healing.
Patients are monitored for a few hours before discharge.

What Are the Steps of a Rhinoplasty Procedure?

Step	Description
Anesthesia	Sedation or general anesthesia ensures a painless procedure.
Incision	Open (external columella cut) or closed (internal nostril incisions).
Reshaping	Removal or addition of cartilage/bone to refine nasal shape.
Septum Correction	Straightening the septum for improved breathing.
Closing Incisions	Sutures are placed, and tissue is redraped.
Post-Surgery	Splint applied, monitored recovery before discharge.
