Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as nose job, is a procedure aimed at altering the size, shape, and overall appearance of the nose. This surgical technique can address various aesthetic concerns or correct breathing difficulties related to nasal structure.
During a rhinoplasty procedure, incisions are made either inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella and inside the nostrils (open rhinoplasty). The surgeon reshapes the nasal bone, cartilage, and tissue to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome or functional improvement.
The duration of a rhinoplasty surgery typically ranges from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Techniques vary based on individual goals and may involve removing or adding tissue, refining the nasal tip, straightening the bridge, or correcting asymmetry.
