What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the shape or function of the nose. It may be performed for cosmetic reasons or to correct breathing issues, trauma-related deformities, or congenital anomalies.
Why do patients choose rhinoplasty?
To enhance nasal appearance and facial harmony
Reduce or increase nasal size
Straighten the nose or lift the nasal tip
Correct breathing problems due to nasal obstruction
Repair deformities caused by injury or previous surgeries
How the procedure is done:
Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general or local anesthesia. The surgeon reshapes the nasal bones and cartilage with precision to achieve the desired result while maintaining nasal function.
Recovery period:
Initial recovery takes around 7 to 10 days. Swelling and bruising are common, but the final shape becomes more evident over a few months as the swelling subsides completely.
Post-operative care tips:
Avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks
Sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling
Avoid wearing glasses directly on the nose initially
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments
