What’s involved in rhinoplasty?
During rhinoplasty surgery, your surgeon will make small incisions from within the nose which will then be sculpted into shape using the cartilage and bone. After surgery, nasal packs or soft plastic splints will be placed inside your nostrils to stabilise the dividing wall between the nasal passages. This is just a general overview, of course, the exact approach will depend on your particular physiology.
Rhinoplasty surgery typically takes two to three hours and involves an overnight stay at our state-of-the art hospital. Afterward surgery, you should expect to experience swelling and bruising and your nose and head may ache, though you will be offered pain killers to help reduce the impact.
