Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery technique commonly known as the ‘Nose Job’. It is chosen by people not happy with the natural shape and size of their nose. Sometimes rhinoplasty is suggested to people to improve nasal function after an accident or an injury. These days, this is becoming the most preferred technique to get the right shape and improved functioning of the nose.

The main function of Rhinoplasty is to develop the breathing experience plus improve the way the nose appears. The surgery requires 1.5 to 3 hours of time. There are two types of techniques to perform rhinoplasty. One is the closed rhinoplasty and the other is the open rhinoplasty. The cuts made are quick to heal and do not leave any scars on the face.

Post- surgery, a mild to moderate discomfort is experienced for some days. But the symptoms aren’t difficult to handle. Doctors provide medications for the same. Patient needs to wear the splints for few weeks to ensure nasal bones & cartilage are protected all the time. It can get awkward during social meetings but it isn’t something too off-guard and unhand-able. Patient needs to take care while doing a heavy task or performing heavy duty exercises like jogging or running. The glasses can’t be worn for some days after the surgery. Contact lenses comes to rescue during this time.

Rhinoplasty is simple and not much worrisome if done under proper care & supervision under a qualified surgeon. It takes a few weeks to heal and then one can be back to their jobs with the desired shaped nose.
