FAQs
What’s rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly called a “nose job,” is a common cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes the nose. You might decide to have rhinoplasty for a variety of reasons, from traumatic injury to correcting breathing issues to simply changing your appearance.
Rhinoplasty can address a variety of issues with the nose, such as:
- Correcting a bump
- Making the nose smaller or larger
- Repairing a deviated septum
- Repairing conditions present at birth
- Repairing the nose after illness or injury
- Straightening a crooked nose
- Widening nasal passages to improve breathing
What should I expect after rhinoplasty?
You’ll need to rest and avoid any strenuous activities for a few weeks until your doctor tells you it’s OK to start them again. You may need to take a few days off work — you can discuss this with your doctor. After the surgery, avoid blowing or touching your nose, and don’t use soap on the incision until your stitches come out.
You may have some or all of the following symptoms after a rhinoplasty:
- Bruising around the nose or eyes
- Headache
- Nasal congestion
- Pain in or around the nose and face
- Slight bleeding from the nose
- Swelling around the nose or face
Symptoms should go away as your nose heals.
