Rhinoplasty adjusts the shape of the nose (bridge, tip, width) to balance it with the rest of the face, while also addressing breathing when there is a deviated septum.
Each nose is planned with the whole face in mind: profile, chin, proportions. The goal is not a "catalog" nose, but one that looks as if it had always been there. Preservation techniques allow more natural results and less swelling.
When there is airway obstruction, it is corrected in the same procedure (rhinoseptoplasty). In consultation we review your anatomy, talk honestly about what is possible and define the plan.
Is it for me?
Anyone who wants to change the profile, tip or width of their nose.
People who have trouble breathing because of a deviated septum.
Ages 16 to 18 and older, once facial development is complete.
What you should know
How it's done, how to care for it and what to expect.
General information so you arrive at your consultation with the right questions. Your plan is defined at your consultation.
Technique
Preservation rhinoplasty when the anatomy allows it: the bridge is preserved and repositioned, with less swelling.
Closed or open approach depending on the complexity of the tip.
Septum correction (septoplasty) in the same operation if there is obstruction.
Aftercare
External splint for 7 days and saline nasal rinses.
Sleep semi-upright; no nose blowing for 2 weeks.
No glasses resting on the bridge for 6 weeks; sun protection for one year to prevent dark spots.
Results and how long they last
Breathing improves as soon as the packing is removed. The shape takes definition at the third month and the tip finishes settling at one year.
Risks and how we reduce them
Bleeding, mild asymmetry and the need for a touch-up in a small percentage of cases. Realistic expectations are key: the goal is a nose that fits your face.
Step by step
Recovery roadmap: Rhinoplasty
Day 1
Nasal splint and internal packing for the first 24 to 48 hours; sleep semi-upright.
Week 1
Splint removed; bruising and swelling going down. You can go out.
Month 1
Back to light exercise; avoid glasses resting on the bridge and any bumps.
Month 3
The shape takes definition; the tip takes up to 12 months to fully settle.
