Profile: This 38-year-old was unhappy with the curved shape of his nose, droopy tip, and hanging columella (the tissue that separates the nostrils). He desired rhinoplasty to address his concerns yet maintain a  natural yet masculine appearance.

Procedure: Rhinoplasty surgery to straighten the nasal profile, refine the tip, and reduce the columella hang.

Result: One year after the rhinoplasty procedure, his photos show a straightened profile, a more refined tip, and a significantly reduced columella hang, enhancing his overall facial appearance.

Profile: A 21-year-old woman was concerned about the small dorsal hump on her nose and a boxy nasal tip. She sought a more feminine and delicate nose shape.

Procedure: Rhinoplasty to remove the dorsal hump and refine the nasal tip.

Result: Her preoperative and 18-month postoperative photos reveal a more sloped, feminine profile with a refined and lifted nasal tip, achieving the desired aesthetic outcome.

Profile: A 20-year-old woman who was dissatisfied with her nose’s appearance due to a prominent dorsal hump, asymmetric and droopy tip.

 

Procedure: Open rhinoplasty to remove the dorsal hump, refine and lift the tip, and correct the nasal deviation.

 

Result: As shown in her 18-month postoperative photos, the surgery successfully addressed her concerns, resulting in a balanced and aesthetically pleasing nasal structure.

Profile: A 25-year-old woman who underwent closed preservation rhinoplasty to correct a deviation in her nose, an asymmetric tip, and a dorsal hump.

 

Procedure: Closed rhinoplasty to preserve nasal function while addressing aesthetic concerns.

 

Result: Her preoperative and 3-month postoperative photos display significant improvements, including a straightened nose, refined tip, and the removal of the dorsal hump.

Understanding Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty surgery is a complex procedure that involves reshaping the nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissues to achieve a balanced facial appearance.

It can be performed as an open or closed procedure, depending on the specific goals and needs of the patient. Rhinoplasty not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the nose but also improves nasal function, making it easier for patients to breathe.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Facial Appearance: By addressing issues such as a dorsal hump, droopy nasal tip, or other nasal irregularities, a rhinoplasty creates a more balanced and harmonious facial profile.
  • Improved Nasal Function: A rhinoplasty can correct structural issues like a deviated septum, leading to improved breathing and overall nasal function.
  • Boosted Self-Confidence: Many patients report a significant increase in self-esteem and confidence following a rhinoplasty, as they feel more comfortable with their appearance.
  • Customised Results: Rhinoplasty is highly customisable, allowing surgeons to tailor the procedure to meet each patient’s unique aesthetic goals.
  • Long-Lasting Impact: The results of rhinoplasty are typically long-lasting, especially when the patient follows post-operative care instructions and maintains a healthy lifestyle.

Addressing Concerns and Risks

Like any surgical procedure, a rhinoplasty carries certain risks and concerns of which patients should be aware of. These include:

  • Swelling and Bruising: Postoperative swelling and bruising are common and normally subsides over the course of 2 weeks. The final results of rhinoplasty may not be visible until all swelling has resolved – which can take up to a year to fully subside.
  • Breathing Difficulties: Although rhinoplasty often improves breathing, there is a risk of temporary or permanent breathing difficulties if the nasal structure is altered too drastically.
  • Scarring: While most rhinoplasty procedures result in minimal scarring, some patients may experience visible scars, particularly with open rhinoplasty.
  • Nasal Asymmetry: Achieving perfect symmetry is challenging, and some patients may notice minor asymmetries post-surgery.
  • Revision Surgery: In some cases, a revision rhinoplasty may be needed to correct or refine the initial results.

A bulbous nasal tip refers to a rounded or wide appearance at the end of the nose, often caused by excess cartilage or thick skin. Rhinoplasty can correct a bulbous tip through tip refinement. This involves reshaping or removing cartilage to create a more defined and aesthetically pleasing nasal tip. Many rhinoplasty patients seek this type of refinement to achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance.

Dorsal hump removal involves removing the excess bone and cartilage that form a visible bump on the bridge of the nose. This is a common aspect of rhinoplasty surgery especially for patients seeking a smoother nasal profile. The procedure can be done through either an open or closed approach, depending on the specific anatomy and goals of the patient.

Yes, rhinoplasty can address breathing problems caused by a deviated nasal septum, which is the wall of bone and cartilage that separates the two nostrils. A procedure known as septoplasty, often combined with a rhinoplasty, can straighten the nasal septum and improve airflow, resolving breathing difficulties while also allowing for aesthetic improvements.

In the first few weeks after rhinoplasty, you can expect swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, particularly around the nose and eyes. These symptoms are normal and will gradually subside. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions during this period to ensure proper healing.

A rhinoplasty can narrow a wide nose by modifying the nasal bones and cartilage. Techniques such as osteotomy (cutting and repositioning the nasal bones) are often used to achieve a more slender and refined nasal appearance. This aspect of rhinoplasty is tailored to the individual patient’s facial structure and desired outcome, ensuring a more proportionate and balanced look.
