What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the nose’s appearance, function, or both. It can refine nasal contours, correct asymmetry, and reshape the bridge or tip to achieve a more balanced look. Functionally, it can address breathing issues caused by a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or other structural concerns, making it beneficial for cosmetic and medical reasons.

Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are individuals looking to enhance nasal aesthetics, improve breathing, or correct an injury. You should be in good overall health, have fully developed facial features (typically by the late teens), and have realistic expectations about the results. 

A consultation with a trusted doctor like Joseph Baylan, MD, will help determine if rhinoplasty in our Houston practice is right for you based on your goals and nasal structure. Dr. Baylan is one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in Houston that you can rely on.

Types of Rhinoplasty

There are various approaches to getting a nose job, including:

Open rhinoplasty – Involves an external incision on the columella, providing surgeons like Dr. Baylan with greater visibility and access
Closed rhinoplasty – All incisions are made within the nostrils, resulting in no visible external scars
Functional rhinoplasty – Focuses on resolving breathing issues without altering the nose’s appearance
Cosmetic rhinoplasty – Aims to enhance the nose’s aesthetic appeal

What to Expect During Rhinoplasty Surgery

The procedure typically involves:

    1. Anesthesia – Administered to ensure comfort during surgery
    2. Incision – Depending on the chosen technique, incisions are made either externally or within the nostrils
    3. Reshaping – Bone and cartilage are adjusted to achieve the desired shape
    4. Closure – Incisions are closed, and the nose is supported with splints as it begins to heal

What Happens During Recovery

Post-surgery, patients can expect:

  • Initial recovery – Swelling and bruising are common and typically subside within a few weeks
  • Follow-up visits – Regular appointments to monitor healing progress
  • Resuming activities – Most daily activities can be resumed after a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Rhinoplasty

How long does it take to recover from a nose job?

Initial recovery takes about one to two weeks, during which swelling and bruising gradually subside. Full results become visible over 6–12 months as the nose heals completely.

Will there be visible scars after getting a nose job?

K

In most cases, incisions are placed inside the nostrils or along the columella, making scars minimal or hidden. Proper post-surgical care helps scars fade over time.

What is the difference between open and closed cosmetic nose surgery?

The open rhinoplasty involves a small external incision on the columella for better surgical visibility. On the other hand, the closed procedure keeps all incisions inside the nostrils, resulting in no visible scars.

Yes, functional rhinoplasty can correct structural issues like a deviated septum to enhance airflow. This procedure can significantly improve nasal function and overall breathing quality.

Is rhinoplasty covered by insurance?
