Rhinoplasty can adjust the size or shape of the nose to achieve better proportional balance with other facial features.
In some cases, the procedure can correct structural issues—such as a deviated septum—that affect airflow or breathing comfort.
The procedure can help address aesthetic or functional concerns discussed with your surgeon. Results vary for each person depending on individual anatomy, healing, and surgical factors.
Your safety and wellbeing are the foremost priorities. Before recommending surgery, your doctor will assess your health, discuss your goals, and help you form realistic expectations about the outcomes. Rhinoplasty may be considered for individuals with one or more of the following concerns:
When the size or shape of the nose appears out of proportion with other facial features.
Noticeable deviation or imbalance of the nasal bridge or nostrils.
The presence of humps, depressions, or other contour variations along the bridge.
Concerns such as a rounded, drooping, or upturned nasal tip.
Wider or differently shaped nostrils that affect appearance or symmetry.
Structural factors such as a deviated septum that may interfere with normal airflow.
Every patient’s anatomy and goals are unique, and outcomes can vary. A comprehensive consultation with your surgeon will help determine whether rhinoplasty is a suitable option for you.
Your first consultation focuses on understanding your goals and assessing your suitability for surgery. Your doctor will examine your nasal structure, discuss realistic outcomes, and explain the procedure, recovery, and possible risks in detail.
You will receive clear pre-operative guidelines, including advice on medications, lifestyle adjustments, and what to expect on the day of surgery. This ensures you’re well-informed and ready for a safe procedure.
Rhinoplasty is performed under appropriate anaesthesia. The approach and techniques used depend on your nasal anatomy and treatment goals. During surgery, adjustments may be made to bone, cartilage, or soft tissue to improve structure or function. Throughout, your safety and comfort remain priorities.
Recovery experiences differ from person to person. Some swelling, bruising, and congestion are common in the initial weeks. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing and discuss your progress.
Most people can usually resume light activities after about a week, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks, depending on your recovery.
