Rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures, but it's important to be well-informed before making a decision. This post aims to provide a comprehensive overview.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that changes the shape of the nose. It can be done to improve appearance or to correct breathing problems.

The Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. We'll discuss your goals, assess your nasal structure, and explain the potential outcomes and risks. Computer imaging may be used to visualize possible results.

The Procedure

Rhinoplasty can be performed using either an open or closed technique. The choice depends on the complexity of the changes needed. The surgery typically takes 1-3 hours under general anesthesia.

Recovery

Expect swelling and bruising, especially around the eyes, for the first week or two. A splint or cast will be placed on your nose for support. Most patients can return to social activities within 2-3 weeks, but final results can take up to a year to fully refine as swelling subsides.
