Rhinoplasty consists of modifying either, or both, bone and cartilage. The upper part of the nose is made up of bone and lower is cartilage. The surgeon will take into account the patient's facial features when planning the nose job.

Post surgery the patient will be kept with their head raised above their chest, to reduce bleeding and swelling. The patient may feel congested due to splints placed inside the nose during the surgery. Swelling can take up to a year to completely diminish as the nose constantly changes shape with age.

The results of rhinoplasty can dramatically improve facial harmony and boost self-confidence while also potentially improving breathing function.
