What is Rhinoplasty?
It is a cosmetic surgery performed by making changes in the bone and cartilage structures of the nose. Nasal aesthetics are one of the most applied aesthetic operations. Nose surgery is performed to eliminate the deformities of the nose that are congenital, occur later, or occur due to trauma. While deformity can be corrected in some cases only because it causes visual discomfort, it may also need to be corrected because it causes problems like respiratory disorders in most people.
Results of Rhinoplasty Nose Reshaping:
Besides nose fillers, Rhinoplasty in Islamabad, Rawalpindi & Pakistan are among the leading plastic surgery procedures sought out by Pakistani men and women. This is for good reason: nose job results tend to be immediate and striking. To make sure you get outstanding results, there are a few actions you can take: Choose the best clinic for you, ask questions during the consultation, set up aftercare assistance with your family, and follow post-surgery activity recommendations.
Requirements for Candidacy:
Men and women from all over the country come to the Glamorous Clinic to see dramatic improvements in nose appearance and ability to breathe. The best way to determine candidacy is to schedule an initial consultation. Commonly, candidates meet the final criteria. For an ideal candidate, you:
- Do not smoke
- Have a broken nose
- The desire for a changed bump
- Have no serious medical illness
- Want to reposition it after an injury
- Want to improve symptoms of sleep apnoea
- Are insecure and unhappy with your nose shape
Types of Rhinoplasty Procedure:
If we talk about the nose skeleton, the upper third is a bony skeleton and the lower two-thirds comprises nostrils and cartilage. Another mucosa-covered flexible cartilage sheet divides the two airways. This cartilage covered with mucosa is commonly known as βseptumβ β prevents the cartilaginous region from collapsing. Most of the techniques involve the dilemma of size reduction, hence giving rise to a reduced skeleton (bony and cartilage).
- Open Rhinoplasty: The surgeon makes an incision across the columella (between the nostrils) which is carried around the rim of the nostrils. It causes the skin to peel back allowing a direct view of the cartilage. In this fashion, cartilage is redesigned. This type of technique is beneficial for the sufferers of a nose injury.
- Closed Rhinoplasty: An incision is made in the mucosa and not in the columella. It also does not give a direct view of a nasal skeleton and leaves scarring inside the nostrils. Therefore, closed rhinoplasty is only performed by experienced surgeons.
- Rhino-tip Surgery: This is performed to modify the structure of the cartilage inside the nose. All it is done to reduce nose tip by removing cartilage. The patient might have common cases such as crooked tip, hooked tip, big tip, or flared nostrils.
- Nostril Alteration: Small incisions are created in the nostril crease. This type involves minimal scarring which is not visible.
Β Non-Surgical Alternative to Rhinoplasty:
A person who is not ready to undergo surgical rhinoplasty may choose from other alternatives. Fortunately, men and women looking for refinements of their noses without financial commitments and time can consider a βliquid nose jobβ as the best treatment option. It is a non-invasive technique consisting of hyaluronic acid injectable filler to fill, narrow, and even out the nose deformities. Restylane and Juvederm are the most common examples.
Revision Rhinoplasty:
Nose surgeries are one of the most revised surgical procedures. The revisions are performed in cases such as anatomical problems such as bending and asymmetry in the nose, functional problems such as nasal obstruction, or the visual result not being desired after aesthetic nose surgeries.
The reason why rhinoplasty is among the most frequently revised surgical procedures is that the problems that occur on the nose in the middle of the face are visible and remarkable. These problems can occur due to many reasons including the inability to identify the problems before the operation, and the patientβs expectations are not fully understood.

Cons β Reasons You Want to Reconsider Rhinoplasty:
The nose job is the most complex of all cosmetic surgeries and requires keen attention to detail. An important factor for success is the cosmetic surgeon. At Glamorous Clinic complications are uncommon:
- It has a prolonged recovery period of weeks depending on the invasiveness of a nose job.
- Some limitations depend on the anatomy. To varying degrees, nose shape can be manipulated which is achieved by reshaping the bone and cartilage.
- In tip-plasty, the overlying skin of the patients who desire a more refined tip is usually thick. In this way, the results of nose surgery become difficult to see.
- It is unrealistic to think that you can have a nose like your favorite celebrity. Only focus on the aspects that concern you.
Following a Rhinoplasty Surgery, you might face a few complications. However, donβt panic. They all are temporary and can be resolved by following a doctorβs recommendations
Pre-Operative Guidelines:
If you want to achieve the desired results and want to get through the surgery and recovery without any complications you must follow some pre-operative care instructions, these include:
- Some drugs may interact with anesthesia, or their side effects may occur with surgery. Aspirin and its derivatives should be discontinued one week before the surgery. It is okay for women to have this surgery while they are menstruating.
- Smoking negatively affects wound healing. For this reason, it is recommended to leave it as early as possible before the operation and not to use it after the operation.
- You will have to take a 6-hour fasting period before the treatment
Procedure:
During the surgical procedure, different surgical techniques can be used depending on the content of the aesthetic problem in the nose, the tissue characteristics of the nose, and the patientβs expectations from the surgery.
General anesthesia is preferred in aesthetic surgeries, except for special cases, and the duration of the operation takes between 1.5-2.5 hours depending on the content of the intervention and the technique to be used.
The operation may be performed solely inside the nostrils or through an incision made from the wall separating the nostrils. The technique to be used and the procedures to be carried out should be chosen based on the patientβs nose structure and the type and size of the existing deformity.
Nose surgery is never a standard operation in which the same procedures are performed for every patient. The ideal outcome should be a natural-looking nose with optimal aesthetic dimensions and lines, one that is not overly curved and one whose tip is not too high and sharp.
Recovery Right After Rhinoplasty:
After one to two weeks, you will be able to get back to your routine activities. The fact is recovery depends on several factors:
Swelling: 70% β 80% of the swelling is commonly resolved in one week. After that, you will be required to remove the cast over the bridge of your nose. There will still be some swelling that will hide the fine details. In about three months or it may take a year, the majority of swelling will settle down.
Bruising: Almost all patients experience mild bruising which resolves over two weeks while marked bruising under the eyes takes six weeks to go. During this time you can use a concealer to cover it whenever going outside.
Pain and Numbness: As Nose Reshaping in Islamabad & Rawalpindi is carried out under general anesthesia; you might feel pain for the first 24 hours. Numbness at the tip and stiffness on the upper lip are also reported by our patients, which improves over weeks.
Our cosmetic surgeon also prescribes an anti-swelling medication one week after surgery. For the first 3 weeks, icing around the nose will also have a beneficial effect on reducing swelling. For maintaining low and stable blood pressure, you will be advised to rest and take things easy during the daytime. These particular measures play an important role in having a faster recovery period.
Instructions for Post-Operative Care:
For a smoother recovery follow these post-operative instructions:
- While sleeping and resting for 4 days after the treatment, the head should be in a high position
- Applying ice around the eyes at 15-minute intervals for at least two days will reduce bruising and swelling on your face.
- Pain after the surgery is not very common but if you have pain, you can take the prescribed pain reliever.
- Avoid solid, dry, and hot foods for 4 days. Eat soft foods that do not require too much chewing.
- Avoid excessive expressions like laughing, shouting, and yawning

Can Rhinoplasty Correct Breathing Problems?
One of the most crucial points of plastic surgery on the nose is that a significant part of patients who apply for aesthetic nose surgery, not only need to correct an aesthetic deformity but also need to resolve several other problems that are often identified in the nose at the preliminary examination.
Some of the main problems include the curvature or deviation in the cartilage and bone structure that forms the midline of the nose. Therefore, along with aesthetic correction, deviation causing nasal congestion is also very important to deal with.
If there is a curvature in your nose, if this is not corrected during your plastic surgery, your problem of both curvature and inability to breathe will continue after the surgery. So, the indispensable thing is to solve both interventions, namely aesthetic and functional problems together.
Rhinoplasty Side Effects:
Generally, the risks will vary with every technique. Your doctor will explain all the risks involved in the treatment in detail and will also guide you on how to manage them. Some of the risks in this surgery include:
- Change in sensation for some time

- Slight swelling and bruising after surgery
- Unsatisfactory results
These will not be any major issues, but you must discuss all these issues in detail with your doctor and ask questions to clear up your doubts.
