• Overview- Nose job surgery reshapes, resizes, and restructures the nose to enhance its appearance or function.
• Duration- Depending upon the complexity of the case, the surgery typically takes around 3 hours.
• Recovery- The complete healing period may take up to one year, though most visible healing occurs within a few weeks.
• Cost- The cost generally ranges between ₹40,000 and ₹4,00,000, depending on factors such as the surgeon's expertise and the complexity of the procedure.

Nose job surgery, or rhinoplasty, restructures the nose for cosmetic enhancement or functional improvement, such as improving a deviated septum to clear breathing issues. It is often referred to as a “nose job." The surgeon makes an incision either inside the nostril (closed technique) or across the tissue (open technique). 

Before proceeding with the surgery, it is important to keep certain things in mind:

• Experts highlight that this surgery doesn’t make the nose perfect; it works on its function. 
• A candidate must have realistic expectations.
• A candidate may resume their routine after a week or so, but complete healing may take up to a year.
• Tobacco and alcohol must be eliminated before the surgery.
• It is necessary to find a skilled surgeon with good experience. 
• Patients must remain at the facility until the nose pack is removed the following day of the surgery.

1. Full Rhinoplasty- It operates on the entire structure of the nose to make changes in appearance and function. 
2. Septoplasty- It is a functional procedure performed to improve a deviated septum, which can obstruct the nose when not positioned well.
3. Tip plasty- This surgery aims at the lower third of the nose, and helps in refining the tip’s appearance.
4. Revision Rhinoplasty- Often called a “secondary rhinoplasty," this surgery is performed to improve the results of a previous nose job surgery. 

While the goal of each surgery is different, they all follow a similar process.

1. Before any incisions are made, the patient is given anesthesia to prepare for the surgery.
2. The surgeon uses an open or closed approach to make incisions to the bone and cartilage.
3. Upon creating incisions and lifting the skin, the surgeon performs the surgery. 

• Full Rhinoplasty- The surgeon may break the nasal bones to narrow the bridge and reshape the tip.
• Septoplasty- Works on the central wall to trim bones and cartilage to open the airways.
• Tip plasty- Surgeon removes smalls amount of cartilage and refine the tip of the nose.
• Revision Rhinoplasty- The surgeon removes the old scar tissue and harvests new cartilage from your rib. 

4. The surgeon places the cartilage grafts to ensure that the nose doesn’t collapse and is refined finely. 
5. After the surgery is completed, the incisions are closed using internal or external stitches.

At SB Aesthetics, we have very experienced surgeons, and the risk is negligible in experienced hands. The risks are minimal when the surgery is performed by proficient surgeons, but there may be rare cases of:

1. Breathing difficulties
2. Infection and bleeding
3. Unsatisfactory appearance
4. Scarring
5. Incomplete Improvement

Healing completely from the nose job surgery is a slow process that takes several months:

Is nose job surgery a risk?

Nose job surgery carries a high success rate when performed by an accomplished surgeon. 

What happens 20 years after rhinoplasty?

The nose will continue to age naturally, as the structural changes made to the cartilage and bone are permanent.

Is rhinoplasty painful during surgery?

The surgical area is numbed due to anesthesia, so the patient doesn’t feel any pain. 

How long does rhinoplasty last?

The surgical reshaping of bone and cartilage is lifelong, and the changes made to the face during the surgery are permanent.

What is the best age for rhinoplasty?

There is no best age for the surgery, but certain requirements, such as physical development, are mandatory. The ideal age is usually between 18 and 40, when the body is fully grown and developed.
