Rhinoplasty is another word for reshaping of the nose. It’s one of the most common procedures I perform and I perform it in men, women and teenagers. What will happen is, during your consultation you’ll express your concerns about your nose; shape, size, breathing difficulties and an operation will be planned and individualized specifically for your nose. An operation can either be an open rhinoplasty or a closed rhinoplasty which involves the location of the incisions and that will be discussed at your consultation. Typically, it’s approximately a two-hour operation. You’ll wake up with a splint on your nose and I typically don’t put any packing inside the nose, so there’s very little discomfort after this type of surgery. After the splint’s removed, they’ll be minimal bruising and you can resume normal activities at that time.
