What is Rhinoplasty Surgery?
Rhinoplasty—commonly known as a “nose job”—is a cosmetic and functional surgical procedure designed to reshape or resize the nose for improved facial harmony or to address structural breathing issues, such as a deviated septum. The procedure can modify the bridge, tip, nostrils, and overall profile of the nose. Rhinoplasty techniques include:
- Open rhinoplasty – involves a small incision at the base of the nose for better visibility in complex cases
- Closed rhinoplasty – incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars
- Ethnic rhinoplasty – tailored to preserve cultural or ethnic nasal characteristics
- Revision rhinoplasty – performed to correct or refine results from a previous nose surgery
The surgery is typically done under general anaesthesia and lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. It is one of the most popular facial cosmetic surgeries globally and often includes the use of advanced tools like 3D imaging and ultrasonic bone sculpting for precision and natural-looking results.
