Rhinoplasty can treat:

• Nose size in relation to facial balance
• Nose width at the bridge or in the size and position of the nostrils
• Nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge
• Nasal tip that is enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned or hooked
• Nostrils that are large, wide or upturned
• Nasal asymmetry

Nose surgery that's done to improve an obstructed airway requires careful evaluation of the nasal structure as it relates to airflow and breathing.

Correction of a deviated septum, one of the most common causes of breathing impairment, is achieved by adjusting the nasal structure to produce better alignment. and reduce enlargement of turbinate

Type of procedure:

• close Rhinoplasty
• delivery Rhinoplasty
• open Rhinoplasty 

Delivery

Information about the Procedure:

Rhinoplasty is performed either using a closed or delivery procedure, where incisions are hidden inside the nose, or an open procedure, where an incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils.

Through these incisions, the skin that covers the nasal bones and cartilages is gently raised, allowing access to reshape the structure of the nose.

After the procedure:

After the surgery, you need to rest in bed with your head raised higher than your chest the first 48 hours after surgery. This reduces bleeding and swelling. Your nose may be stuffed up because of swelling. It could also be from the splints put inside your nose during surgery.

Most of the time, the internal bandages stay in place for 1 to 2 days after surgery. A splint may be taped to your nose for protection and support. It's usually in place for about 1-2 weeks.

You may have a little bleeding and drainage of mucus and old blood for a few days after the surgery or after removing the dressing. A drip pad — a small piece of gauze held in place with tape — may be put under your nose to absorb drainage.

Avoid intense physical activities such as aerobics and jogging.

Take baths instead of showers while you have bandages on your nose. Don't blow your nose. Sneeze and cough with your mouth open. Avoid certain facial expressions, such as smiling or laughing.

Eat high-fiber foods, such as fruits and vegetables, to keep from getting constipated. Constipation can cause you to push hard, putting pressure on the surgery site. Brush your teeth gently to keep your upper lip from moving.

Wear clothes that fasten in the front. Don't pull clothing, such as shirts or sweaters, over your head. In addition, don't rest eyeglasses or sunglasses on your nose for at least four weeks after the surgery. They can put pressure on your nose. You can use cheek rests or tape the glasses to your forehead until your nose has healed.  You may have some short-term swelling or black-and-blue coloration of your eyelids 2 to 3 weeks after the surgery. Swelling of the nose can last longer, sometimes up to a year. Eating less sodium will help the swelling go away faster.

Complication:

• Change in skin sensation
• Difficulty breathing
• Infection
• Nasal septal perforation (a hole in the nasal septum) is rare.
• Poor wound healing or scarring
• Possibility of revision surgery
• Unsatisfactory nasal appearance
• Bleeding

Results:

The results of Rhinoplasty surgery will be long-lasting. While initial swelling subsides within a few weeks, it may take up to a year for your new nasal contour to fully refine. During this time you may notice gradual changes in the appearance of your nose as it refines to a more permanent outcome.
