One of the most frequently performed procedures in modern plastic and aesthetic surgery, rhinoplasty—commonly known as a nose job—is a surgical operation designed to reshape and improve the appearance and function of the nose. At Orion Surgery, we combine medical precision with aesthetic vision to ensure each patient achieves not just a more attractive nose, but also an improved quality of life.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic and functional nose surgery performed to enhance the nose’s shape, size, and proportion while correcting any internal structure issues that may interfere with breathing. Whether you’re aiming for aesthetic enhancement or resolving problems like a deviated septum, rhinoplasty offers a tailored solution to meet your goals.
How is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Rhinoplasty can be carried out using either the open or closed surgical technique. Both methods involve small incisions to access the bone and cartilage structure of the nose. The main difference lies in the location of these incisions:
- Open Rhinoplasty: The incision is made across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), allowing for full visibility and access. This method is ideal for major reshaping or when correcting complex nasal asymmetries.
- Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scarring. It’s suitable for less extensive corrections and typically results in faster recovery.
When is Rhinoplasty Recommended?
Rhinoplasty is suitable for patients with:
- A nose that is too large or too small in proportion to the face
- A crooked or asymmetric nasal bridge
- Hump removal or nasal tip refinement needs
- Breathing difficulties caused by nasal obstruction (such as deviated septum)
Our experienced plastic surgeons will evaluate your concerns and facial structure to recommend the best technique for you.
Types of Rhinoplasty Techniques
1. Open Rhinoplasty
This technique involves lifting the nasal skin to provide complete access to the nasal framework. Common applications include:
- Hump removal
- Nasal tip correction
- Osteotomy (reshaping or narrowing nasal bones)
- Adjusting nasal cartilage for symmetry
Once reshaped, incisions are closed and internal or external splints are applied. Swelling and light bleeding post-surgery are common and should subside gradually.
2. Closed Rhinoplasty
Performed entirely through internal nasal incisions, this approach offers less visible trauma and a faster healing time. Surgeons use micro-motors and fine surgical tools to reshape nasal bones and cartilage without external incisions. A cartilage graft may be used to support or reshape certain areas if necessary.
3. Piezo Rhinoplasty (Ultrasonic Technique)
Piezo rhinoplasty uses ultrasonic vibrations and precision-cutting tips to reshape bone without damaging soft tissues. This advanced method allows for:
- Smoother bone contouring
- Less bruising and swelling
- High precision with minimal trauma
4. Liquid Rhinoplasty (Non-Surgical Nose Job)
For patients who need minor aesthetic adjustments, liquid rhinoplasty is a non-invasive option. In this procedure, dermal fillers (like hyaluronic acid) are injected to lift the nasal tip, correct small asymmetries, or smooth out dips in the bridge—without surgery.
What to Expect After Rhinoplasty Surgery
To ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery, follow these post-operative tips:
- Avoid strenuous activities (running, aerobic exercise, etc.)
- Keep the nose dry while showering
- Refrain from touching or rubbing your nose
- Avoid constipation-inducing foods (straining can increase pressure)
- Limit facial expressions like excessive laughing or smiling
- Brush teeth gently without moving the upper lip
- Dress carefully to avoid touching your nose with clothing
- Avoid wearing glasses for several weeks
- Minimize salt intake to reduce swelling
Note: It’s important to remember that the “perfect nose” in your mind may not suit your facial proportions. At Orion Surgery, we work closely with patients using digital simulations and consultations to create the most natural and harmonious result.
