Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)

What is it?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape or reconstruct the nose.

About Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)

Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a “nose job,” is a cosmetic surgery that alters the size, shape, or proportions of the nose. It can enhance facial harmony and correct structural defects caused by genetics, injury, or previous surgery. Rhinoplasty can address concerns such as a prominent nasal hump, wide nostrils, or a crooked nose. It can also improve breathing problems caused by deviated septums or other structural issues.

Types of Rhinoplasty

  • Asian Rhinoplasty
  • Nose Hump Rhinoplasty
  • Revision Rhinoplasty

Asian Rhinoplasty

Asian rhinoplasty is a specialized approach to nose reshaping tailored to enhance the natural beauty and unique features of Asian patients. Unlike Western rhinoplasty, which often focuses on reducing size, Asian rhinoplasty usually emphasizes creating subtle yet refined changes, such as enhancing nasal bridge height or reshaping the tip for added definition. Surgeons use advanced techniques and may incorporate cartilage grafts to ensure a balanced profile and harmonious look that complements other facial features. This procedure requires a keen understanding of cultural aesthetics, helping patients achieve natural-looking results while preserving their individual identity.

Nose Hump Rhinoplasty

Nose hump rhinoplasty, also known as dorsal hump reduction, addresses the prominent bump along the nasal bridge, enhancing facial balance and profile. This procedure involves reshaping the nasal bone and cartilage to smooth the dorsal line, creating a more refined and proportional look. It requires precision to maintain the natural flow from the bridge to the tip, avoiding an overly straightened or artificial appearance. Ideal for patients with a dorsal hump that disrupts facial harmony, nose hump rhinoplasty can dramatically enhance confidence, creating a smooth and attractive nasal contour that aligns with the patient’s unique facial structure.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a corrective procedure designed for patients who have had previous nasal surgeries but are dissatisfied with their results, either functionally or aesthetically. It aims to address complications, correct asymmetry, or refine appearance while preserving nasal function. Given its complexity, this procedure requires a highly skilled surgeon with expertise in reconstructive techniques to rebuild the nasal structure, often using cartilage grafts from the ear or ribs. Revision rhinoplasty is uniquely tailored to each patient’s needs, offering them a chance to achieve their ideal outcome and restore both confidence and comfort in their appearance.

How it Works

The process starts with a detailed consultation where the surgeon assesses facial structure, nasal shape, and any functional breathing issues.
The surgery involves making incisions either inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (open rhinoplasty) to access and reshape the underlying bone and cartilage.
Initial recovery takes about 1-2 weeks, but complete healing, including final nose shape, can take up to a year.
Patients can expect a more proportionate, aesthetically pleasing nose shape and potentially improved breathing.

Who are ideal candidates for treatment:

  • Individuals dissatisfied with the shape or size of their nose.
  • People with a nasal deformity from injury or birth.
  • Patients with breathing difficulties caused by structural issues.
  • Adults, as facial growth should be complete.
  • Non-smokers in good overall health.
  • Realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the surgery.

Recovery times vary depending on the procedure. Minor treatments, such as eyelid surgery, may allow patients to resume daily activities within a week, while more comprehensive surgeries, like facelifts, may require a few weeks for full recovery.

The longevity of results varies by procedure. Surgical results, like rhinoplasty and facelifts, are generally long-lasting, often lasting for years. While procedures do not halt aging, following recommended care and lifestyle habits can help maintain results over time. We’ll discuss expected outcomes for your specific treatment during your consultation.

A mini-facelift is a less invasive option focused on lifting and tightening the lower face, ideal for patients with mild sagging. A traditional facelift targets more extensive facial aging, addressing both the mid and lower face and offering more comprehensive rejuvenation. We help patients determine which procedure aligns with their goals during the consultation process.

Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals with realistic expectations for their outcomes. Factors such as age, skin elasticity, bone structure, and overall health all play a role in determining suitability. We conduct detailed consultations to help each patient understand which procedures align best with their goals and expectations.
