In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about rhinoplasty: techniques, recovery, risks, costs, and benefits.

What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that modifies the shape, size, and proportion of the nose. It can be performed for aesthetic, functional, or combined purposes.

Types of rhinoplasty

• Cosmetic rhinoplasty: Aims to harmonize the nose with the rest of the face by correcting humps, drooping tips, or asymmetries.
• Functional rhinoplasty: Focuses on improving breathing by correcting deviated septum or congenital nasal obstructions.
• Combined rhinoplasty: Addresses both cosmetic and functional concerns, offering a comprehensive solution for many patients.

Benefits of rhinoplasty

• Enhances the overall appearance of the nose and facial harmony
• Corrects septal deviations and breathing difficulties
• Increases self-esteem and confidence
• Provides natural and lasting results when performed by a certified plastic surgeon

How is rhinoplasty performed?

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the case.

Common techniques

• Open rhinoplasty: A small incision is made at the base of the nose to directly access the bone and cartilage structures.
• Closed rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars.
• Preservation rhinoplasty: An advanced technique that maintains the natural nasal structure as much as possible for more stable results.

The choice of technique depends on the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic or functional goals.

Recovery process after rhinoplasty

• First days: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal. Rest and keeping the head elevated are recommended.
• Return to normal activities: 1–2 weeks.
• Intense physical activity: Wait at least 4–6 weeks.
• Final results: Become visible within 3–6 months, once residual swelling subsides.

Recommended care:

• Avoid any impact or pressure on the nose.
• Refrain from wearing glasses that rest on the nasal bridge during the first weeks.
• Follow all postoperative instructions provided by your surgeon.

Risks of rhinoplasty

As with any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty carries some risks:

• Temporary swelling and bruising
• Possible postoperative bleeding
• Low risk of infection
• Temporary numbness or sensitivity changes in the nasal tip

💡 Important: Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. JJ Ruiz significantly minimizes risks and ensures optimal results.
