Frequently Asked Questions about Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

Q: What does a rhinoplasty do?

A: A rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to alter the shape and/or size of the nose. It can correct a variety of issues, including a large or bulbous nose tip, a crooked or asymmetrical nose, a dorsal hump (bump on the bridge of the nose), and a nose that is too wide or too narrow. Rhinoplasty aims to help the patient achieve a more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious balance between the nose and the rest of the face.

Q: Is a rhinoplasty permanent?

A: A rhinoplasty is considered a permanent procedure, meaning that the changes made to the nose during surgery are meant to be long-lasting. However, it's important to keep in mind that the aging process and other factors such as injury or weight changes can affect the shape of the nose over time. In some cases, a secondary or revision rhinoplasty may be necessary to maintain the desired results.

Q: How long does a rhinoplasty last?

A: The length of a rhinoplasty can vary depending on several factors, including the type of procedure, the patient's age, and overall health. Generally speaking, a rhinoplasty can last anywhere from several hours to several hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery. Recovery time after rhinoplasty can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient's ability to heal.

Q: How painful is rhinoplasty?

A: The level of pain experienced during and after rhinoplasty can vary from person to person. Some patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure, while others may experience more significant pain and swelling. Pain medication is typically prescribed to help manage any discomfort during recovery. Most patients report that any pain they experience during recovery is manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and subsides within a few days. It's important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions and to keep in touch with your surgeon throughout the recovery process to ensure the best possible outcome.
