What is Rhinoplasty, and what can it correct?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes or enhances the nose for aesthetic or functional reasons. It can:
- Improve the shape, size, and symmetry of the nose
- Correct a hump, wide nostrils, or a drooping tip
- Fix breathing issues caused by a deviated septum (Septoplasty)
Who is a good candidate for Rhinoplasty?

- Individuals unhappy with their nose shape or size
- Those with breathing difficulties due to nasal structure issues
- People in good overall health with realistic expectations
- Those whose facial growth is fully developed (typically age 16+ for females, 18+ for males)
How long is the recovery time for Rhinoplasty?
- First week: Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common; a splint is worn on the nose
- 2-3 weeks: Most swelling subsides, and bruising fades
- 4-6 weeks: Can resume exercise and most normal activities

What are the risks and complications of Rhinoplasty?
Potential risks include:

- Breathing difficulties (though rare with an experienced surgeon)
- Unsatisfactory results requiring revision surgery

Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon and following post-op care reduces these risks.
