Rhinoplasty Journey
Rhinoplasty is a delicate surgical procedure designed to balance facial features by adjusting the height of the nasal bridge, refining the tip, narrowing width, or correcting internal breathing blockages. We focus on structural techniques that preserve structural integrity for a lifetime.

Pre-Op Instructions
- •Discontinue blood-thinning supplements and medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) 14 days prior.
- •Refrain from nicotine products for at least 4 weeks pre- and post-procedure.
- •Organize a companion to drive you home and assist with early recovery care.

Procedure Execution Steps
- 01Anesthesia Admin: General anesthesia is utilized for patient comfort and airway protection.
- 02Incision Placement: An open approach utilizes a tiny columellar incision to provide optimal structure visualization.
- 03Cartilage Reshaping: The nasal bridge dorsal hump is reduced, and tip cartilages are reshaped using structural grafts.
- 04Suturing & Splinting: Precision closure is completed, and an external protective splint is applied.
Recovery Milestones
Keep head elevated, apply ice packs to cheeks, use saline spray. Expect minor drainage.
Swelling and bruising around eyes typically peaks today. Airway is partially congested.
Visit the clinic for external cast and suture removal. Swelling starts resolving.
Most visible bruising has faded. Patients usually return to social activities and desk work.
Fine definition in the nasal tip resolves. Structural alignment settled.
Frequently Asked
Q: Is rhinoplasty painful?
A: Most patients report discomfort rather than severe pain, primary due to nasal stuffiness and mouth-breathing. Prescribed medication manages early discomfort easily.
Q: When can I blow my nose?
A: You must avoid blowing your nose for at least 2-3 weeks to avoid bleeding or shifting internal healing grafts.
