Rhinoplasty & nasal surgery
Five operations, from rhinoplasty to septal repair
-
01
Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping Surgery)
Primary rhinoplasty is nose reshaping for someone who has not previously had rhinoplasty. Planning considers facial proportions, breathing and the supporting nasal framework. When correction of a deviated septum is included, the combined operation is called septorhinoplasty.
First-time nose surgery planned around appearance, breathing and structural support.
General anaesthesiaUsually reviewed and removed at about 1 week -
02
Revision Rhinoplasty
Assessment of appearance, breathing or structural concerns after previous nose surgery.
Usually at least 12 months after the first operationAssessment may require waiting up to 18 months
-
03
Septoplasty
Assessment and correction of airway narrowing associated with a deviated internal septum.

Septal Perforation Repair
Endoscopic repair of a hole in the nasal septum.

The rhinoplasty journey
From examination to long-term follow-up
- Examination
Anatomy and breathing
The septum, turbinates, nasal valves and external framework are assessed; further tests are requested when needed.
- Planning
Expectations and limits
Photographs and examination findings guide discussion of possible changes, alternatives and risks.
- Surgery
An individual surgical plan
Rhinoplasty uses general anaesthesia. Associated procedures and an open or closed approach depend on the required correction.
- ~Week 1
First review
Splints and the cast, if used, are reviewed; removal depends on the operation and healing.
- Early months
Gradual recovery
As swelling reduces, nasal care and activity restrictions follow the individual aftercare plan.
- 12–18 months
Long-term assessment
The shape settles over time; thick skin and some revision cases may take longer to heal.
Function
Assessing breathing alongside appearance
A deviated septum is not the only possible cause of obstruction. Nasal examination also considers the turbinates, nasal valves and external supporting framework.
- Septoplasty focuses on septal deviation that contributes to symptoms.
- Septorhinoplasty may be needed when valve narrowing or external support also matters.
- Turbinate and sinus procedures require relevant findings and a separate assessment of need.
Complementary and other procedures
Profile balance and facial surgery
The chin, lips and nose are assessed together in profile. Chin implants, lip lift, buccal fat removal and non-surgical treatments serve different purposes; each option requires individual assessment.
Chin Augmentation (Mentoplasty)
Profile assessment based on the chin, lips and nose.
Lip Lift
Surgery to adjust upper lip position and visibility.
Buccal Fat Removal
Selective removal of cheek fat to reduce fullness in suitable facial anatomy.
Otoplasty (Prominent Ears)
Individual surgical planning to adjust ear prominence and fold definition.

Questions
Short answers about rhinoplasty
If your question is not answered here, call us or send a WhatsApp message.
Can rhinoplasty and septal correction be combined?
Yes. Where appropriate, septorhinoplasty addresses the internal septum and external nasal framework in one plan. Examination determines the required procedures.
How long is recovery after rhinoplasty?
Desk work may be possible after 7–10 days, while swelling lasts longer. Final shape is generally assessed over 12–18 months and can take longer.
When is revision rhinoplasty assessed?
Usually at least 12 months after the first operation; thick skin may require waiting up to 18 months. Healing and examination findings determine the decision.
Does septoplasty resolve all nasal obstruction?
No. Turbinates, mucosal swelling, the nasal valves and external support may contribute too. Treatment is planned after the causes are assessed.
