Also referred to as the nose job, rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery made on the nose. We call it plastic surgery to change the shape and size of the nose and to improve functional problems.

1. How long does it take to recover from rhinoplasty surgery?

Healing time may vary from patient to patient. The time also depends on the rhinoplasty procedure you choose. On the other hand, the average healing time varies between two weeks to a couple of months.

2. What are the possible side effects of rhinoplasty?

We could list some potential minor risks that could be associated with rhinoplasty. During the recovery, you could experience the following side effects: discolouration around the nose, difficulty in breathing, the possibility of revision surgery, scars, and redness.

3. What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?

In the open rhinoplasty, a facial plastic surgeon makes an incision on the inside of nostrils and outside of columella. This is much easier than a closed operation since the surgeon can see what he/she is doing. In the closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made from the inside of the nasal passage. This is popular since all scarring is made on the inside of the nose. The recovery time is also shorter.

4. Is rhinoplasty a permanent procedure?

If your facial features are fully developed, then we can say that rhinoplasty is a permanent procedure. We should highlight that rhinoplasty is reversible and undesired results can be changed with revision rhinoplasty if required.

5. What happens after the rhinoplasty surgery?

When the surgery finalised, long-continued numbing substances are used to make sure the patient leaves from the hospital pain-free. Generally, a splint is placed on the nose. Nearly half of the patients have bruising on their nose. It may take up to one year for all minor traces of swelling to disappear.

6. What are the limitations and risks associated with rhinoplasty?

The most significant limitation is thick skin since it would be difficult to shrink. Risks can be listed as follows: numbness, the potential collapse of the nose, infection, nose bleeds after the operation, fullness, and holes inside the septal area of the nose.
