Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and enhance the appearance of the nose. Beyond its cosmetic benefits, rhinoplasty can also correct structural issues, improve breathing, and restore facial harmony. Whether seeking to refine nasal proportions, address breathing difficulties, or correct congenital defects, rhinoplasty offers a personalized approach to facial enhancement. Let’s delve into the intricacies of this transformative procedure, exploring its techniques, benefits, and considerations.
A proper surgery, Rhinoplasty involves a multitude of surgical techniques to reshape the nose. A thorough nasal analysis, including assessment of the external and internal nose, determines the exact technique the surgeon will employ. If the surgeon decides to go in for Closed Rhinoplasty, incisions are hidden as they are made on the inside of the nose. The skin (overlying soft tissue) is lifted off of the underlying framework of the nose, namely, cartilage and bone. All these are then carefully altered to achieve the desired new shape. The upper two-thirds of the nose, mainly the bony vault and cartilaginous middle vault, is often reshaped in its original position.
