Surgical procedure that improves the aesthetic appearance of the nose while also easing breathing.
Rhinoplasty reshapes the bone and cartilage structure of the nose to improve it both aesthetically and functionally. Deformities of the nasal bridge, tip and dorsum are corrected, while breathing problems such as septal deviation can be addressed in the same session. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and planned individually.
The closed technique leaves no scar; in the open technique the tiny incision under the columella fades over time.
Social recovery takes 1-2 weeks; the final shape settles over 6-12 months.
Septal and turbinate problems corrected in the same surgery significantly improve breathing.
