Rhinoplasty at Eagle Aesthetics & Surgery
Your nose is one of the most prominent features of your face. For many people, a nose that they are unhappy with can negatively impact their self-esteem and confidence. That’s where rhinoplasty can help.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is a surgical procedure to alter the shape, size, or function of the nose.
Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and refines the nose to produce a more aesthetically pleasing and proportionate appearance. Through strategic modifications like reducing or increasing size, altering angles, and refining the nasal tip and bridge, rhinoplasty can dramatically improve the balance and harmony of facial features.
Furthermore, it could also addresses breathing difficulties, offering results tailored to each individual’s needs.

About Rhinoplasty Surgery
Before and During the Procedure
Your rhinoplasty journey begins with an in-depth consultation. Our plastic surgeon will evaluate your concerns, medical history and aesthetic goals. You will also receive detailed pre-op instructions like avoiding certain medication or supplements
In the operating room, local anaesthesia along with intravenous or inhalation sedation is used to maximise your comfort during the procedure.
Refinements like cartilage grafting, bone reductions and nasal tip work sculpt your ideal appearance. Key incisions are meticulously placed to facilitate procedures and heal well. The duration ofa nose job typically ranges from 1-3 hours depending on the extent of work needed to achieve natural yet transformative changes.
Post Rhinoplasty Recovery
Most patients notice bruising, swelling and discomfort post-operation, which can be alleviated with ice packs. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 2 weeks. Splints or nose guards are worn externally to support healing. Antibiotics and pain medication are prescribed. Sutures or stitches are removed after 1 week.
Full recovery from rhinoplasty can span up to a year, with swelling persisting for about four to six weeks post-surgery and gradually subsiding within three months. Between three months to a year, your nose is still healing and swelling could still be present.
