Rhinoplasty is surgical procedure to change the shape and appearance of the nose. The surgery aims to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the nose, improve breathing or for both. Commonly known as ‘nose job’, rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgeries. It can be used to correct a deformity, treat an injury or improve the overall appearance of the nose and face. The nose is a complex structure comprising bone and cartilage in the upper and lower region, respectively. A rhinoplasty involves alteration of these structures of the nasal parts and passage. The surgery can be performed as open rhinoplasty (incision made across the nasal tissue between and within the nostrils) or closed rhinoplasty (incisions made within the nostrils), depending on the need for the surgery. The incision remains well-hidden and barely visible to other people. It is a relatively safe and effective procedure. The results of the surgery are long-lasting and full contours settle gradually over time to provide the desired outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rhinoplasty

What does Rhinoplasty mean?

The word ‘rhino’ means nose and ‘plasty’ refers to the procedure of shaping or molding. Rhinoplasty is the surgical procedure to reshaping the nose and surrounding structure according to the patient’s needs. It is a complicated procedure that requires customization according to the specific requirements of the patient.

What does rhinoplasty surgery involve?

Rhinoplasty can be performed using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the complexity of the procedure required and the surgeon, as well as patients prefers. Before the surgery, the doctor discusses which type of anesthesia is most appropriate for the patient.

Local anesthesia with sedation: This is usually used when the surgery is performed in an outpatient setting. The procedure is limited to a specific area of the body. The surgeon injects a pain-numbing medication into the nasal tissues and sedates with medication that is injected through an intravenous (IV) line. This makes the patient groggy but not fully asleep.
General anesthesia: The patient is given an anesthetic drug through inhalation or a small IV line placed in a vein in the hand, neck or chest. General anesthesia makes the patient unconscious during surgery and a breathing tube is put to provide oxygen support during the procedure.

The surgeon readjusts the bone and cartilage structure underneath the skin. It may be performed inside the nose or through a small incision at the base of the nose, between the nostrils.

The surgeon uses different methods to reshape the nose, depending on the particular needs to remove or add, the nose's structure, and other factors. To make small changes, the surgeon may use cartilage that is taken from deeper parts inside the nose or from the ear. For larger changes, the cartilage used is retrieved from the rib, implants or bone from other parts of the body. After making these changes, the surgeon places the skin of the nose and tissue back and sew the incisions in the nose.

What is open and closed rhinoplasty?

Depending on the patient’s nasal anatomy and aesthetic goals, the surgeon may perform open or closed rhinoplasty. In open rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nose and one small incision is made under the nose, between the nostrils. While closed rhinoplasty involves making incisions inside the nose.

Open rhinoplasty is mostly recommended in complex cases as it provides better access and visibility to the surgeon. For instance, if a person is having rhinoplasty surgery after an injury or trauma to the nose, or if a person requires dramatic cosmetic changes, an open surgical approach is recommended. If someone only needs minor changes to the nose, closed rhinoplasty may be the most suitable option for them.

In both types of surgeries, the surgeon skillfully places the incisions to leave barely visible or concealed incision marks. These incisions can be used to correct structural abnormalities of the nose, change the shape or angle of the nose tip, straighten or narrow the bridge, and make other subtle adjustments to improve the aesthetic appeal of the nose.

What is revision rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary surgery that is performed to correct the undesirable results from the primary (previous) nose surgery. Generally, patients seek revision rhinoplasty when they feel unsatisfied with the outcome of primary rhinoplasty or it looks unnatural, or out of balance with the face. Some may also require it because of breathing problems after the original surgery.

Revision rhinoplasty is considered to be more complicated as the factors associated with primary surgery make it more difficult to be performed. These factors include scar tissue from the original surgery, the need to reinforce or rest the cartilage and composite grafts of the nasal structure, and other variables.

How is recovery after surgery?

Recovery from rhinoplasty is considered to be relatively mild, especially in comparison to other facial surgeries. Rhinoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis, and the patient can return home the same day after the procedure.

There may be some discomfort post-surgery, but it can be easily managed with medications. In the first week following the surgery, the patient has to wear a nasal splint to protect the nose as it heals. There will be some bruising and swelling during the early stages of the recovery. Splints and sutures are usually removed within a week from the surgery. Mostly, patients can return to work in about one week after the procedure. However, they are advised against doing strenuous activities for the first three weeks, or as instructed by the surgeon. The final results of rhinoplasty or nose surgery appear when the swelling and redness subsides completely.

What can I do to manage the swelling after rhinoplasty?

Generally, the nose heals quickly but some amount of swelling and bruising is still expected after the rhinoplasty. It is helpful to keep your head elevated during the first day after the surgery. The redness and swelling usually lessen during the first week after the procedure. Typically, a splint is worn on top of the nose for a week. It is important not to blow the nose and avoid any physical impact on the nose while the structures inside and out on the nose are still healing.
