Rhinoplasty is an operation done to improve both aesthetic and functional aspect of the nose. The surgery involves reshaping the nose to suit the face and incorporates the artistic as well as technical skill of the surgeon.

Rhinoplasty surgery can take from 2 to 3 hours to perform depending on the amount of reshaping required. The surgery is done under general anesthesia usually on an outpatient basis.

After surgery, patient may wear a splint for about one week. Bruising and swelling is normal following surgery. Swelling may take several months to resolve. Patient usually returns to work in one to two weeks and can resume all activities in about one month. The final result of the surgery may not be appreciated fully until six months after surgery.
