What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose by modifying bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. It can:
- Improve nose size, shape, and symmetry
- Refine the nasal tip or bridge
- Correct a deviated septum for better breathing
- Repair injury-related deformities
- Enhance overall facial balance
The procedure can be performed using:
- Open Rhinoplasty – small external incision for detailed reshaping
- Closed Rhinoplasty – incisions inside the nose with no visible scars
Procedure Overview
- Duration: 1–3 hours depending on complexity
- Anesthesia: General or local with sedation
- Technique: Customized reshaping of nasal structure
- Setting: Outpatient surgical procedure
Every treatment plan is customized to ensure precise, natural-looking outcomes.
The difference in procedures is the extent of scarring. Flaps are used during a simple lift procedure. Fat transfer is used for patients who desire a more fullness over their buttock area. During the fat transfer procedure, the removed fat is placed deeply within the muscle and in many different layers to create a smooth surface without irregularities. It is common for surgeons to perform liposuction as well to enhance the shape of the buttocks.
Fat grafting has changed buttock enhancement to be a simpler procedure, performed within 1.5 hours, with minimal pain, discomfort, and recovery time. Candidates for this surgery are usually 18 years or older and in good physical health.

If you are a smoker, your surgeon will strongly urge you to quit at least six weeks before your surgery as smoking can interfere with the healing process and the viability of the fat grafts. Also, medications that can increase the risk of bleeding should be stopped. As this surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, it’s important to arrange for transportation.

Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible scars; open rhinoplasty leaves a minimal, barely noticeable scar.
When can I see final results?
Initial results appear within weeks, but final definition takes several months.
Can rhinoplasty improve breathing?
Yes, especially when combined with septoplasty to correct structural issues.
