Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or resizes the nose for cosmetic enhancement or to improve breathing function. It can involve changes to the bone, cartilage, or skin.

Most patients experience mild discomfort after the surgery, but pain is usually well-managed with medication. Swelling

and bruising are common, particularly around the eyes, and subside after a week or two.

Initial recovery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities within this time. However, it may take up to a year for the nose to fully heal and for final results to be visible.

Rhinoplasty can improve breathing if the surgery is performed to correct structural issues like a deviated septum. In some cases, patients may experience temporary nasal congestion during the healing process.
