You have stared at your reflection a thousand times, imagining how your face might look with a slightly straighter nose or maybe a narrower bridge or a softer tip. It’s not vanity, it’s a quiet desire to feel more at peace with your appearance. If this sounds familiar, rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” might be the step you’ve been considering. With the right expectations and an experienced surgeon by your side, the journey can be both smooth and deeply rewarding.
What happens during rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose either to improve aesthetics, correct breathing issues, or both. It’s highly personalised and can involve:
- Smoothing a nasal hump
- Refining the nasal tip
- Straightening a crooked bridge
- Adjusting nostril width
- Correcting a deviated septum
The surgery lasts 1 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia, and you will likely go home the same day.
What to Expect Before the Surgery
It starts with an in-depth consultation. The surgeon will assess your facial features, listen to your concerns, and design a nose that enhances harmony, not just looks good in isolation. You might also undergo digital imaging to visualise your potential outcome.
Pre-surgery instructions may include avoiding certain medications, quitting smoking, and arranging for post-op care.
What Recovery Looks Like
Expect some swelling, bruising around the eyes, and nasal congestion for the first week. A splint will be placed on your nose for support and removed after 7–10 days. Most patients return to work or light activities within 10-14 days.
However, complete healing (especially for subtle refinements) can take several months, even up to a year. But don’t worry, you’ll notice significant improvements early on, and the final results are worth the wait.
