Key Facts:

  • Duration: 1–3 hours

  • Clinic Stay: Outpatient (same‑day discharge) or 1‑night stay

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping, refines the size, shape, and proportions of the nose. This procedure can correct a crooked nose, reduce a dorsal hump, narrow the nasal tip, or improve breathing function, delivering both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Rhinoplasty can help you with:

  • Reshaping nasal bridge, tip, or nostrils

  • Correcting deviated septum for improved airflow

  • Reducing size or refining profile of the nose

  • Balancing facial features for harmonious appearance

You may be a suitable candidate if:

  • You are unhappy with the shape or size of your nose

  • You have breathing difficulties due to structural issues

  • You are in good general health and at a stable weight

  • You have realistic expectations and can follow postoperative care

What Happens During the Procedure?

Your Rhinoplasty journey starts with a detailed consultation and nasal analysis. Here’s what typically happens:

  • Administration of general anesthesia

  • Precise incisions inside the nostrils (closed) or at the columella (open)

  • Reshaping of bone and cartilage to achieve desired contour

  • Straightening of septum if functional correction is needed

  • Closure of incisions with fine sutures and application of splint

Procedure time is 1–3 hours, depending on complexity and open vs. closed technique.

Recovery After Your Rhinoplasty

First 24 Hours
You can rest at your hotel with head elevated. Mild swelling, bruising around the eyes, and congestion are normal—medications and cold compresses will help.

Week 1
Swelling and bruising peak then begin to subside. Splint is removed at day 7–10; continue gentle care and avoid glasses resting on the nose.

Month 1
Most swelling resolves and nasal contour refines. You may resume light exercise; final shape appears over 3–6 months.
