What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job or nose reshaping surgery, is done to change the shape, size, or proportions of the nose. People choose rhinoplasty to:
Improve how their nose looks (cosmetic rhinoplasty)
Fix breathing problems (functional or septorhinoplasty)
Get both cosmetic and medical benefits
The nose has three parts – bone (top part), cartilage (bottom part), and skin. Rhinoplasty can make changes to any or all of these parts. It can include procedures like augmentation (to add structure), reduction (to make it smaller), or septorhinoplasty (to fix the nasal septum and improve breathing).
Types of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty (also called nose reshaping or nose surgery) is done for two main reasons – to improve the look of the nose or to fix breathing problems. It is classified based on the surgical technique and purpose.
Based on Surgical Technique
Open Rhinoplasty
This method involves making a small cut on the strip of skin between the nostrils (called the columella) to lift the skin and give the surgeon a clear view of the nose structure.
Best for:
Major corrections like a crooked nose, nasal tip reshaping, or adding/removing structure
Reduction or augmentation rhinoplasty for better nose shape
Note: It may leave a small scar, but it usually fades over time.
Closed Rhinoplasty
In this technique, all cuts are made inside the nostrils, so there are no visible scars.
Best for:
Small changes to the nasal bridge or tip
Patients wanting quicker recovery and less swelling
Note: This method heals faster but may not be suitable for major changes.
Based on Purpose
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Cosmetic rhinoplasty is done to improve the look of the nose and make it match better with the rest of the face. It can include:
Making the nose smaller and more refined
Narrowing a wide or broad nose
Reducing excess tissue at the tip (fat nose correction)
Reshaping the nose for a better side profile
Improving the shape and symmetry of the nostrils
Customizing results for men or different ethnic features
Although it’s done for appearance, breathing function must still be preserved.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty is done to fix breathing problems or structural issues in the nose. It may be needed when:
There’s a blockage due to birth defects or injury
The person has trouble breathing because of a deviated septum
An accident (like a broken nose) affects normal function
Sometimes, both looks and function are corrected together through procedures like septorhinoplasty or rhinoseptoplasty.
Other Types of Rhinoplasty
- Augmentation Rhinoplasty
This type is done to increase the height or projection of the nose, often using implants or cartilage grafts. It is ideal for people with a flat nasal bridge. - Reduction Rhinoplasty
This procedure aims to make the nose smaller or remove visible bumps or humps, helping to achieve a more balanced facial appearance. - Post-traumatic Rhinoplasty
Used to repair the nose after an injury or accident. It helps restore both function (like breathing) and appearance. - Revision Rhinoplasty
Also called secondary rhinoplasty, this is a corrective surgery performed if a previous nose job didn’t give the desired results or caused issues. - Injectable (Non-surgical) Rhinoplasty
A non-surgical option using dermal fillers to make small changes, like smoothing a bump or improving symmetry, without any cuts or stitches.

During the Rhinoplasty Procedure
Rhinoplasty surgery is done to reshape the nose by changing its size, shape, angle, or structure. It can improve both how the nose looks and how well you breathe.
Type of Anaesthesia
To keep you comfortable during surgery, one of the following anaesthesia options will be used, depending on the case:
Local anaesthesia with sedation (you’re relaxed but awake)
General anaesthesia (you’re fully asleep)
Surgical Technique
The surgeon will choose a technique based on your specific needs:
Closed Rhinoplasty:
Cuts are made inside the nostrils
No visible scars and faster recovery
Open Rhinoplasty:
A small cut is made at the base of the nose, between the nostrils
Gives better visibility for detailed work
Often used for cases like wide nose, crooked nose, or broken nose
What Happens During Surgery
The skin is gently lifted to reach the bone and cartilage
For reducing nose size: Extra bone or cartilage is removed
For building up a flat nose (augmentation): Cartilage from the nose, ear, or rib may be added
If the septum is crooked: It’s straightened to help improve breathing (septorhinoplasty)
Nostrils or tip reshaping: The cartilage is adjusted to enhance symmetry or definition
In some cases, dermal fillers (non-surgical rhinoplasty) may be used to fix small bumps or shape issues without surgery
Completing the Surgery
The skin and tissues are placed back carefully
Fine stitches are used to close the incisions
A splint may be placed outside the nose to support its new shape
Soft splints or packing may be used inside the nose to support the septum and control bleeding
After the Surgery (Immediate Care)
You’ll be moved to a recovery room and monitored until the anaesthesia wears off
Most patients go home the same day, but some may need to stay overnight if needed
After the Rhinoplasty Procedure
Whether your surgery was cosmetic or to improve breathing (like septorhinoplasty or rhinoseptoplasty), proper care after surgery is essential for healing and good results.
What to Expect Right After Surgery
You’ll be advised to rest in bed with your head elevated to reduce swelling and bleeding.
Your nose may feel blocked due to swelling or internal splints.
A splint will be placed on the outside of your nose to protect and support its new shape.
Internal splints or bandages are usually kept in for about one week.
Mild bleeding and drainage (mucus or old blood) is normal for a few days. A gauze pad may be taped under your nose—change it as instructed, but don’t press it tightly.
Post-Surgery Instructions
To heal properly and avoid complications:
Avoid heavy activities like running, workouts, or lifting for a few weeks.
Take baths instead of showers if your nose is bandaged.
Do not blow your nose.
Avoid wide facial expressions like smiling or laughing too hard.
Eat high-fibre foods to avoid constipation, which can strain the healing area.
Brush teeth gently to avoid moving the upper lip too much.
Wear front-opening clothes (like buttoned shirts) to avoid pulling anything over your head.
Avoid wearing glasses or sunglasses directly on your nose for at least 4 weeks. Use support or tape if needed.
Additional Care Tips
If you go outside, apply SPF 30 sunscreen to protect healing skin from the sun.
Don’t apply ice or anything cold directly on your nose unless your doctor says it’s okay.
Swelling and bruising around the eyes may last 2–3 weeks.
Some nose swelling can last a few months. Final results (especially in wide or fat nose reshaping) may take up to a year.
Cutting back on salt can help reduce swelling faster.
Long-Term Healing
Healing time varies for each person.
You’ll see visible changes within a few weeks, especially after reduction or augmentation rhinoplasty, but small improvements will continue as tissues settle.
Over time, the shape of your nose may change slightly with age, but your rhinoplasty results will stay stable.
Complications (Rare)
Rhinoplasty is generally safe, but in some cases, additional treatment or corrections may be needed. This is more common in complex procedures, such as:
Crooked nose correction or broken nose repair where small adjustments may be required afterward
Wide nose, fat nose, or nose straightening surgeries that need precision to achieve the desired shape
Ethnic or male rhinoplasty, where it’s important to keep natural features while reshaping the nose
Non-surgical rhinoplasty (using fillers) may cause temporary side effects like swelling or unevenness
While these issues are uncommon, they can be managed with proper follow-up and expert care.
Benefits of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can improve both how your nose looks and how well you breathe. Whether it’s done for cosmetic reasons or medical needs, here are some of the key benefits:
Improved Facial Balance
Rhinoplasty helps shape the nose so it fits better with the rest of your face, making your features look more balanced and symmetrical.
Increased Confidence
Getting the nose shape you’re happy with can boost your self-esteem and make you feel more comfortable with your appearance.
Better Breathing
Functional rhinoplasty (like septorhinoplasty) helps clear nasal blockages and improves airflow, especially in people with a deviated septum.
Recovery After Injury
If your nose was injured in an accident, rhinoplasty can restore its shape and function, helping you breathe better and look like yourself again.
Correction of Nose Shape Issues
Rhinoplasty can fix a crooked nose, bumps on the bridge, a wide nasal structure, or a drooping tip.
