Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures

Corrective Rhinoplasties

Restore nasal symmetry compromised by congenital deformities
Correct breathing issues through septoplasty
Address structural nasal obstructions

Cosmetic Rhinoplasties

Narrow wide noses and nostrils
Refine dorsal humps for smoother profile
Correct drooping or bulbous nose tips

Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Prime candidates for rhinoplasty are individuals in good health who:

Seek a permanent solution to nasal concerns
Are non-smokers or prepared to quit during recovery
Have completed facial growth (mid-teens or older)
Can dedicate time to proper post-operative care

Procedure Details

Rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 1-3 hours. Surgeons may utilize open or closed techniques to sculpt and reposition nasal structures, ensuring natural-looking results that harmonize with facial features.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery involves wearing a protective splint for 10-14 days and following specific post-operative instructions. Patients should expect initial swelling and bruising, with gradual improvements over several weeks to months.

Complementary Procedures

Rhinoplasty can be combined with other facial procedures like facelifts, eyelid surgery, or chin augmentation to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
