What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that alters the shape or function of the nose. It may be performed for cosmetic refinement, functional improvement, or both. This procedure addresses:

  • Bumps, dips, or asymmetry on the nasal bridge
  • Wide or flared nostrils
  • A bulbous or drooping nasal tip
  • Difficulty breathing due to structural issues
  • Trauma-related nasal deformities

Each rhinoplasty at Southern Surgical Arts is meticulously planned and performed to enhance your facial proportions and confidence.

How Rhinoplasty Is Performed

Your treatment day will begin with a review of your surgical plan and markings made for reference. After anesthesia is administered:

  1. Incisions are made inside the nostrils (closed) or across the base of the nose (open).
  2. Bone, cartilage, and tissue are reshaped or repositioned.
  3. Structural issues may be corrected to improve breathing.
  4. Incisions are closed with meticulous care to reduce scarring.

Recovery After Rhinoplasty

After surgery, swelling, mild bruising, and nasal congestion are common. You may wear a splint or packing for support. Most patients return to non-strenuous activities within 7–10 days.

Final results become more noticeable over the next few months as swelling fully resolves. Outcomes are long-lasting and designed to enhance, not distract from, your natural beauty.

Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures

We offer several techniques to suit different aesthetic or medical needs:

Open Rhinoplasty

Allows greater visibility for detailed reshaping.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Incisions made internally, best for simpler changes.

Septoplasty

Corrects a deviated septum to improve nasal airflow.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Repairs or refines a previous nose surgery.

Related or Complementary Procedures

These treatments may enhance your overall facial harmony:

Chin Augmentation

Balances facial proportions by reshaping the chin.

Facelift

Rejuvenates the lower face for a more youthful look.

Brow Lift

Elevates and smooths the upper face and brow area.

Injectables

Non-surgical refinements to smooth or contour facial features.

Rhinoplasty Frequently Asked Questions

Can rhinoplasty fix a broken nose?

Yes, rhinoplasty can correct nasal fractures, restore symmetry, and improve breathing after trauma.

When can I return to exercise?

Most patients can resume light activity after two weeks, but avoid strenuous workouts for four to six weeks.

Will I have visible scars?

Closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scars. Open techniques leave a small, hidden incision beneath the nose.

Is rhinoplasty painful?

Mild discomfort is common, but pain is usually manageable with prescribed medication.

Can men get rhinoplasty too?

Absolutely. Rhinoplasty is popular among men for both cosmetic and functional reasons.

What are the risks?

Risks include infection, asymmetry, breathing issues, or need for revision. These are rare with experienced, board-certified surgeons.

Will insurance cover the procedure?

Insurance may cover septoplasty for breathing issues. Cosmetic changes are typically out-of-pocket.

How long do results last?

Rhinoplasty results are permanent, though minor changes may continue as healing progresses over a year.
