Intro:
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide. But what really happens before and after the surgery? Here’s everything you need to know.
1. What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose. It can correct cosmetic concerns, improve breathing, or both. Results vary by individual anatomy and goals.
2. Preparing for Surgery
Before the procedure, your surgeon will assess your nose structure, facial balance, and breathing issues. You’ll receive instructions on medications, fasting, and what to expect on the surgery day.
3. The Surgery Day
Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 1–2 hours. Incisions may be internal or external depending on the technique. You’ll go home the same day in most cases.
4. Recovery Timeline
Swelling and bruising are normal for the first week. Most patients resume normal activities in 7–10 days, but final results may take up to a year to fully settle.
Conclusion:
Rhinoplasty is a safe, life-changing procedure when performed by a skilled surgeon. Thinking about reshaping your nose?
