What is Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty)?
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to alter the shape of the nose. This surgery can adjust the size, reshape the tip or bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between the nose and upper lip. It’s not just about aesthetics—Rhinoplasty can also address breathing problems, correct birth defects, and repair damage caused by injuries.

Who is a Good Candidate for Nose Reshaping?
Generally, we advise waiting until the nose has fully developed before considering rhinoplasty. However, in cases where an unattractive nose shape is causing significant emotional or psychological distress, especially in teenagers, rhinoplasty may be recommended. Our expert surgeons carefully and meticulously perform nose reshaping for younger patients. This surgery is ideal for individuals who:
- Want to regain self-confidence
- Have specific aesthetic goals
- Need reconstructive surgery
- Wish to correct birth defects
- Need to fix breathing problems
How to Prepare for Surgery
We provide a detailed pre-surgical guide for our patients. It’s crucial to follow these instructions closely to achieve the best results. This includes quitting smoking at least a week before surgery and stopping the use of aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications 1-2 weeks prior.
How is Surgery Performed?
Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is asleep throughout the procedure. Most surgeries involve incisions made inside the nose, which leaves no visible scarring. In more complex cases, an open procedure may be required, leading to minor scarring that fades over time. During the surgery, the skin of the nose is separated from the underlying bone and cartilage, which are then reshaped according to the patient’s desired outcome. After the framework is adjusted, the skin is re-draped over the nose, and a splint is applied to maintain the new shape and reduce swelling. Soft splints or nasal packs may also be used to stabilize the septum.
Risks Involved in Nose Reshaping
Thousands of people undergo rhinoplasty each year with satisfying results. However, as with any surgery, there are risks, though they are typically minor and temporary. Possible complications include:
- Hematoma (blood collection under the skin)
- Infection
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Numbness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Pain
- Potential need for revision surgery if results are not as expected
Post-Operative Care
Following these post-operative care instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery:
- Elevate your head on 3-4 pillows while sleeping for the first few days to reduce swelling and minimize the risk of bleeding.
- Avoid strenuous activities, including jumping, lifting, bending, and bodybuilding, for at least three weeks post-surgery.
- Protect your nose from direct sunlight by applying sunblock whenever you go outside.
- Use ice packs to reduce swelling.
- Expect some bruising around the cheeks and eyes for 1-2 weeks; concealer can help hide redness.
- Wear the nasal splint for at least one week, and keep it dry.
- Resume regular exercise only after three weeks.
- If bone structure was altered during surgery, you may need to wear glasses with support, such as tape.
Recovery Process
Post-surgery, expect some bruising and swelling, which typically subsides within 3-4 weeks. Patience is essential as the full healing process for rhinoplasty can be slower than other cosmetic surgeries. The final result of your nose reshaping will be visible in 10-12 months, but early improvements can often be seen within three weeks.
Long-Lasting Results
Rhinoplasty offers long-lasting results, with the final outcome visible after about a year. While the aging process may gradually affect the results, the changes made through surgery are generally permanent. Additional procedures can be performed if further enhancements are desired, though these are typically less extensive.
