Rhinoplasty:Sculpting Your Ideal Profile
What is RHINOPLASTY?
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a sophisticated surgical procedure aimed at reshaping or resizing the nose to enhance facial harmony and functionality.
This versatile procedure can address aesthetic concerns, such as a prominent bump or asymmetry, as well as functional issues, like breathing difficulties.
At Estedica, our experienced surgeons utilize advanced techniques to deliver natural and harmonious results that align with your aesthetic goals.
Who is a good candidate for RHINOPLASTY?
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty include individuals who are:
• Dissatisfied with nasal aesthetics: Those unhappy with the shape, size, or proportion of their nose.
• Experiencing Breathing Issues: Individuals experiencing breathing difficulties due to structural abnormalities.
• In Good Overall Health: Candidates who are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the results.
• At Mature Growth Stage: Typically, individuals who are at least 16 years old, ensuring that facial growth is complete.
• Looking to Gain Symmetry: Those seeking to improve facial symmetry and balance.
It’s important to remember that while many plastic surgeons have a “signature” look they excel in creating, the desired image might not always be attainable. Factors such as musculoskeletal composition, health-related restrictions, or simply the fact that a particular nose shape may not harmonize with your facial features can affect the outcome.Let’s discuss what your ideal outcome would during a confidential consultation with one of our top plastic surgeons.
BEFORE AND AFTER
-
Rhinoplasty typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the specific techniques used.
-
Generally, rhinoplasty requires an overnight stay in the hospital, followed by a 7 to 10-day stay at a hotel to ensure proper recovery and to attend follow-up consultations.
-
Initial recovery takes about 1 to 2 weeks, with most clients returning to normal activities; however, full healing and final results may take up to 12 months.
-
Commonly related procedures include chin augmentation, septoplasty, and facial fat grafting, blepharoplasty, and brow lift to enhance overall facial harmony and balance.

TYPES OF Rhinoplasty
Estedica’s partner surgeons offer a variety of rhinoplasty techniques to cater to diverse needs and goals:
OPEN RHINOPLASTY
This technique involves an incision across the columella (the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils) allowing the surgeon to lift the skin off the tip of the nose and sculpt the cartilage with precision. This method is ideal for more extensive reshaping and offers detailed visibility.
CLOSED RHINOPLASTY
Performed with incisions hidden inside the nostrils, this technique leaves no visible scars. It is suitable for patients requiring minor adjustments and generally involves a shorter recovery time.
REVISION RHINOPLASTY
For those who have had previous nose surgeries but are dissatisfied with the results, revision rhinoplasty corrects or improves upon earlier procedures. This complex surgery requires advanced expertise and careful planning.
FUNCTIONAL RHINOPLASTY
Primarily aimed at improving breathing issues caused by structural problems, this procedure can also offer aesthetic enhancements as a secondary benefit.
ETHNIC RHINOPLASTY
Tailored to the unique nasal structures of different ethnic groups, this procedure enhances the nose while preserving the patient’s ethnic identity. It requires a deep understanding of the cultural and anatomical nuances.
ULTRASONIC RHINOPLASTY
Utilizing advanced ultrasonic technology, this technique allows for precise bone reshaping with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues. It results in less bruising and a quicker recovery.
BULBOUS NOSE RHINOPLASTY
It is a specialized aesthetic procedure designed to refine and harmonize the nose with the rest of the face. This surgery focuses on reshaping the nose tip, which may appear swollen, rounded, or overly wide due to factors such as excessive cartilage width, over-spread cartilage, or a lack of clear definition.
NON-SURGICAL RHINOPLASTY
This minimally invasive option uses dermal fillers to alter the shape of the nose. Ideal for minor adjustments, it provides immediate results with no downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking subtle improvements without surgery.

HOW the Procedure is Performed
01.
PERSONALIZED CONSULTATION
A comprehensive consultation is the first step, where we discuss your aesthetic goals and medical history in detail. This allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and expectations.
02.
ANESTHESIA
To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, local or general anesthesia is administered. The choice of anesthesia depends on the complexity of the surgery and your preferences, which will be discussed during your consultation.
03.
INCISIONS
The type of incisions made during rhinoplasty depends on the chosen technique. In a closed rhinoplasty, incisions are hidden inside the nostrils, resulting in no visible scarring. In an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made across the columella (the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils), allowing the surgeon better visibility and access to the nasal structure.
04.
RESHAPING
The underlying bone and cartilage are meticulously reshaped, removed, or repositioned to achieve the desired nasal contour and functionality.
Techniques used may include:
• Cartilage Grafting: Using cartilage from your septum, ear, or ribs to enhance or reconstruct nasal structures.
• Osteotomy: Carefully fracturing and repositioning nasal bones to narrow or straighten the nose.
• Tip Refinement: Sculpting the nasal tip to improve its shape, definition, and proportion.
05.
CLOSURE
Once the reshaping is complete, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures. Our surgeons take great care to ensure minimal scarring and optimal healing. If necessary, internal supports such as splints or soft packing may be used to maintain the new shape during the initial healing phase.
06.
CLOSURE
Detailed post-operative care instructions are provided to facilitate a smooth recovery. You will have scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process and ensure the best possible results. Swelling and bruising are normal initially but will subside over time, revealing the final refined shape of your nose.
