What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, can help you achieve your desired facial features and improve your confidence. It is a surgical procedure that can improve the appearance and function of the nose. The cosmetic nose operation is one of the most popular aesthetic operations for both women and men around the world to enhance the nose’s appearance by changing its size, shape, or projection. Besides the cosmetic applications, it can also be used to correct birth defects, injuries, and functional impairments, such as difficulty in breathing.

Who is a good candidate for rhinoplasty?

you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose.
you want to reduce the size of your nose.
you have breathing problems caused by the structure of your nose.
Considering Your medical history, which includes a history of nasal blockages, surgeries, and any medicines you take, there is a need to straighten a deviated septum of your nose.

Moreover, people who are in good physical health, non-smokers, and those who have realistic expectations for nose surgery are good candidates for a nose job.

Also, you must have an appropriate age, at least 18 years old to be considered an eligible candidate. Rhinoplasty is not recommended for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions.

How is Rhinoplasty performed?

There are two main approaches to Rhinoplasty: open and closed.

Open Rhinoplasty: The surgeon makes an incision across the columella, the strip of tissue that separates the nostrils. This gives the surgeon a better view of the inside of the nose and allows them to make more precise changes.
Closed Rhinoplasty: The surgeon makes incisions inside the nostrils. This approach is less invasive, but it can be more difficult to make major changes to the nose.

The specific techniques used in Rhinoplasty will vary depending on the patient’s individual needs and the surgeon’s preferences. Once the surgeon is satisfied with the results of the surgery, they will close the incisions using sutures. The surgeon may also apply a cast or splint to the nose to protect it as it heals.
