Rhinoplasty is a nose job procedure to enhance the shape of the nose so that it harmoniously balances with the facial features. In some cases, this procedure also improves function and breathing.
Well executed rhinoplasties are aesthetically pleasing and give an improvement in one’s appearance. The surgeon performs highly refined work involving the sculpting of cartilage, skin and bone to expertly achieve the patient's desired look.
The technique used depends largely on your desired results. In general, nose cosmetic surgery is performed to address the following concerns:
Rhinoplasty is surgery of the nose. A closed technique keeps all incisions inside the nostril, with no external scars. This technique is suitable for patients who desire augmentation or reduction of the nose bridge, with minimal change to the length of the nose and the appearance of the nasal tip.
The advantage of closed rhinoplasty is much more rapid recovery and the absence of any visible scars.
Open rhinoplasty is performed when the patient requires significant nasal tip surgery, the rhinoplasty is a revision procedure or if it is performed for functional reasons (for example, to alleviate nasal obstruction) This involves a small 5mm scar across the columella, with the other incisions hidden within the nostril.
The choice between an autologous or a hybrid technique is dependent on the requirements of each individual patient.
The typical Asian nose is wide and rounded, with a relative excess of nasal tip tissue. The ideal shape of the nose tip should be sharp and well-defined, with a width and projection that is proportionate to the rest of the nose.
This can be achieved using a combination of lower cartilage sutures, placement of autologous cartilage grafts and careful trimming of excess nasal tip tissue.
Tip surgery may be performed alone but is commonly done in conjunction with nasal bridge augmentation and narrowing of the nasal width, in order to achieve perfect nasal harmony and a beautiful, long-lasting result.
Alar reduction is performed for overly wide nasal bases and is often done as part of a complete rhinoplasty. It is performed using an excision technique where the crescent-shaped wedges of the alar are removed and the alar base anchored down to the new narrower position.
A short nose may be due to a variety of reasons:
A hooked nose or an excessive nasal dorsal hump are unattractive qualities, particularly in women. In order to correct a hooked nose, a combination of cartilage resection and cartilage support grafts are used to achieve an attractive nose. Similarly, hump reduction can be performed, with or without cartilage spreader grafts to obtain an aesthetically-pleasing outcome.
Revision rhinoplasty may be required when the previous rhinoplasty has failed to achieve the desired appearance, when there is a recurrence of the previous problem, or if there was infection to the underlying prosthesis.
This is performed through an open rhinoplasty approach and often requires the use of cartilage from the patient’s ears or ribs, extensive scar release and structural grafts that maintain or restore good airflow in the nose in addition to a beautiful appearance.
A rhinoplasty is a safe and straightforward procedure carried out on an outpatient basis, meaning that there is no need for an overnight stay. Patients are given general anaesthesia and will be asleep through the procedure.
Patients experience minor swelling and bruising which will diminish in a few days. There are usually no visible scars.

Patients experience minor bruising which will diminish in a few days. Swelling is variable depending on the type of rhinoplasty performed. The majority of the swelling goes away after 2 to 3 weeks. There are no visible scars in a closed rhinoplasty and a small 4-5mm non-visible scar on the underside of the nose in an open rhinoplasty.
