In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Rhinoplasty is one of the most technically challenging and commonly performed cosmetic surgeries. It can address a wide range of concerns: reducing or increasing nose size, reshaping the tip or bridge, narrowing nostrils, correcting asymmetry, fixing a deviated septum associated with breathing difficulty, and repairing post-traumatic deformities. The procedure is performed either open (with a small incision across the columella) or closed (all incisions inside the nose). Recovery involves 1 week in a splint, 1-2 weeks of visible swelling and bruising, with final results emerging over 12-18 months as swelling fully resolves. Revision rhinoplasty addresses results from a prior surgery.
