Before
AfterRhinoplasty
Reshape the nose to improve facial harmony while maintaining natural function and appearance.
Rhinoplasty reshapes the bone, cartilage, and skin of the nose to bring it into better balance with the rest of your face. It can also correct breathing difficulties caused by structural issues, so the result is often both aesthetic and functional.
Candidacy & Benefits
You may be a good candidate if:
- You feel your nose is too large, too small, or out of proportion with your face
- You have a visible bump, asymmetry, or a drooping or wide tip
- You experience breathing difficulty linked to a deviated septum or narrow airway
Key benefits
- Improved facial balance and profile
- Potential improvement in nasal breathing
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results
How Rhinoplasty is performed
A detailed facial and nasal assessment, often supported by photographs and 3D imaging to plan the new shape
Anesthesia is administered general or local with sedation, depending on the extent of the surgery
Incisions are placed inside the nostrils or across the columella (open technique) to access the bone and cartilage
The bone and cartilage are reshaped, reduced, or grafted to achieve the planned contour and, where needed, to open the airway
The skin is redraped and a splint is applied to support the new shape while it heals
Preparation & things to know
How to prepare
- Share your full medical history, including any prior nasal trauma or breathing issues
- Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (e.g. aspirin, fish oil) for the period advised by your surgeon
- Stop smoking well in advance, as it slows healing and affects skin circulation
- Arrange for someone to drive you home and help for the first day or two after surgery
Possible side effects & risks
- Swelling and bruising around the eyes and nose for one to two weeks
- Temporary nasal congestion and reduced sense of smell during healing
- A small risk of infection, bleeding, or asymmetry requiring minor revision
- Numbness or altered sensation in the nasal tip that usually resolves over months
Every surgery carries some risk. Your consultation with Dr. Muhammad Ali will cover how these apply specifically to you.
