RHINOPLASTY
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed for those wishing to refine and reshape their nose.
Often referred to as a “nose job” or a “nose reshaping” by many patients, people choose rhinoplasty for a variety of reasons. It can correct cosmetic problems, like a bump or a hook as well as structural problems, like difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum.
For many people, rhinoplasty can be the key to facial symmetry and improved aesthetic appearance. It can help to balance your nose with the rest of your facial features, and often improves breathing at the same time.

Should I Get Rhinoplasty?
The septum, a wall of cartilage between your two nostrils, divides the nasal cavity in half. An ideal septum is centered in the nose and creates an even passageway on both the left and right side. A deviated septum, which occurs when the septum shifts away from the midline, can cause cosmetic problems as well as issues with breathing. Rhinoplasty can help correct this, as well as many different types of cosmetic abnormalities.
If you struggle with chronic congestion or breathing freely, or you’ve ever wished that your nose was smaller or straighter, you could be a great candidate for rhinoplasty.

The Recovery Process
Recovery after a nose job is usually minimal. Common side effects include swelling and bruising, which will subside over time. You can typically return to work and daily activities as soon as you wish.
As with the majority of cosmetic procedures, it is best to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks after your surgery. For optimal results, it is also advisable that you stay out of the sun for up to eight weeks.
