Rhinoplasty reshapes your nose so that it complements your other facial features. It is recommended for individuals in their mid-teens when the nose is near full development. Reshaping is generally done through incisions on the underside of your nose between your nostrils.

Your nose can be reduced, or built up, by adjusting its supporting structures. This can be achieved in two ways by either removing or adding bone and cartilage. Your skin and soft tissues will assume their new shape over the newly reconstructed nasal bone.

After surgery, you can expect some discomfort, swelling and bruising . Sometimes you may need to wear a nasal splint for a week or longer. Makeup can be applied after the splint is removed. Most people can return to work within seven to ten days.
