Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the structure of the nose, including bone and cartilage. In some instances, rhinoplasty can also address functional issues, such as a deviated septum, to improve breathing.
Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure designed to improve the shape, size, and overall appearance of your nose, bringing it into balance with your other facial features.
Initial downtime is typically 1-2 weeks, with swelling and bruising gradually subsiding over several weeks. The final refined results become more apparent over several months.
