Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly called a ‘nose job’, is a surgical procedure to alter the shape, size, or proportions of the nose.
It can correct breathing problems, repair injuries, or enhance facial balance.
The surgery is tailored to each patient’s facial structure and cosmetic goals for natural, harmonious results.
Overview And Clinical Background
Refining Facial Balance Through Nose Surgery
The nose plays a central role in facial aesthetics and breathing.
Rhinoplasty reshapes cartilage, bone, and soft tissue to correct deformities, asymmetry, or size concerns while maintaining or improving nasal function.
- Purpose: To enhance nose appearance and/or improve breathing.
- Performed under general anesthesia with precision planning.
- Goal: Achieve proportionate, natural results fitting the facial profile.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Candidates may feel their nose appears too large, wide, or asymmetrical.
Others seek correction after injury or to resolve congenital breathing issues.
- Common concerns: Hump on bridge, wide nostrils, bulbous tip, or crooked nose.
- Breathing difficulty due to deviated septum.
- Cosmetic motivation: Desire for improved facial harmony or confidence.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Facial Assessment And Nasal Analysis
Preoperative assessment includes facial proportion analysis, airway evaluation, and 3D imaging.
Detailed discussion ensures realistic expectations and customized surgical planning.
- Imaging: 3D facial photography or CT scan for structural assessment.
- Tests: Routine pre-surgical investigations and anesthesia clearance.
- Surgeon evaluates nasal cartilage strength and symmetry.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Open or closed rhinoplasty is performed based on correction needs.
Bone and cartilage are sculpted for shape refinement; septal correction may be included for better breathing.
- Conservative: Non-surgical fillers may offer subtle contouring but are temporary.
- Surgical: Open rhinoplasty provides visibility for precise reshaping.
- Closed rhinoplasty uses internal incisions for minimal scarring.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Most swelling resolves within 2–3 weeks, with full refinement seen by 6–12 months.
Breathing improves progressively.
Complications are rare when handled by skilled surgeons.
