How is Male Rhinoplasty Performed?

What will happen during a septorhinoplasty procedure?
During septorhinoplasty, incisions are placed just inside the nostril on its the lower edge and sometimes across the skin between the nostrils. The soft tissues of the nose are then carefully separated from the underlying cartilages and bone. Bone and cartilage are appropriately reoriented to give a balanced harmonious appearance to the nose and face while preserving or improving nasal breathing.

A rhinoplasty can take up to two weeks to heal. After the surgery, patients will experience some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside. The nose may also feel congested for a few days after the surgery. Most people can return to work within seven days of the surgery.
What will recovery from rhinoplasty be like?
The procedures usually last two to four hours, depending on the amount of work required.
