What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that alters the shape, size, or function of the nose. It ranks among the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries worldwide.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates have completed physical development (17-18 for women, 18-19 for men), are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and are non-smokers or willing to quit.

Surgical Techniques

### Open Rhinoplasty

A small incision is made on the columella, giving the surgeon direct visibility. Preferred for complex cases.

### Closed Rhinoplasty

All incisions inside the nostrils — no visible scars. Faster recovery, ideal for mild to moderate corrections.

### Piezo Rhinoplasty

Ultrasonic piezo technology instead of traditional chisels. Significantly less bruising and swelling, shorter recovery.

Recovery Timeline

Week 1: Cast on nose, noticeable swelling and bruising.

Week 2: Cast removed, bruising largely resolves.

Weeks 3-4: About 70% of swelling gone.

Full results at 12-18 months.
