Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose, enhance facial harmony, and correct breathing problems. During the operation, the bone, cartilage, and soft tissues of the nose are reshaped to achieve both functional and cosmetic improvement.
Rhinoplasty can address a wide range of aesthetic and functional issues:
Rhinoplasty is performed using two main techniques: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made at the base of the nose, allowing full visibility of the nasal structure—ideal for advanced reshaping. In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scar.
Individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose, have breathing problems, and are in good general health are suitable candidates. Rhinoplasty is typically performed after nasal development is complete (ages 16–17 for females, 17–18 for males).
A nasal splint is usually worn for the first 3–7 days. Swelling and bruising are most visible during the first week but decrease significantly within two weeks. Patients generally return to their routine within 7–10 days. The final shape of the nose becomes fully visible within 6–12 months.
There are no external scars in closed rhinoplasty since all incisions are inside the nose. In open rhinoplasty, the small incision under the nose heals over time and becomes barely noticeable.
Yes. Modern rhinoplasty aims to create a natural, balanced, and facially harmonious nasal shape. The goal is not an artificial look, but a natural appearance tailored to the individual’s facial proportions.
