✨ What Happens During a Rhinoplasty? Step-by-Step Breakdown 👃
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or resize the nose for either cosmetic or functional reasons — or both. Whether you’re looking to refine the nasal tip, straighten a bump, or correct breathing difficulties, here’s a general overview of what the rhinoplasty procedure involves:
💉 1. Anesthesia: Comfort Comes First
To ensure a pain-free experience, the procedure begins with either general anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation. Your surgeon will choose the best option based on your needs and health status.
✂️ 2. Incision: Accessing the Structure
Depending on the technique (open or closed rhinoplasty), the surgeon makes an incision:
- Closed technique: Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars.
- Open technique: An additional incision is made across the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils) for better access during more complex procedures.
🛠️ 3. Reshaping the Nose: Precision Matters
Now comes the sculpting part:
- Bone and cartilage may be removed, reshaped, or added to achieve your desired outcome.
- If additional tissue is needed, it can be harvested from other areas like the septum, ear, or even rib.
🧵 4. Closing the Incision
Once the reshaping is complete, the surgeon carefully closes the incisions with sutures. In the case of an open technique, the tiny columella scar typically fades over time and becomes nearly invisible.
🩹 5. Post-Op Care: The Healing Journey Begins
You’ll be taken to a recovery area where you're monitored closely.
- A nasal splint or cast is placed to support your new nose shape.
- Swelling, bruising, and congestion are normal in the first few days.
Recovery timelines vary, but most patients return to work or social activities within 1–2 weeks.
