Types of
rhinoplasty
• Reduction rhinoplasty. The most common procedure
to address size, proportion and balance of the nose in
relation to the rest of the face.
• Post-traumatic rhinoplasty. Performed as a result of
a nasal injury where the supporting bone or cartilage
have been damaged.
• Ethnic rhinoplasty. Takes into consideration the
particular characteristics of your ethnicity.
• Augmentation rhinoplasty. Increases the
dimensions of the nose by adding structural material or
grafts for aesthetic and functional indications.

results
Benefits range
from improved
breathing to
enhanced
appearance and
self-confidence
Results of rhinoplasty are not immediate. The nose
becomes more refined with better definition with time, and
may take up to a year for final results. Most patients can
expect to return to work within a week or two and to more
strenuous activity after a few weeks
Benefits of this procedure can range from improved
breathing to enhanced appearance and self-confidence.
Rhinoplasty can offer subtle or dramatic changes to a
person’s appearance. Often even a small change in the
shape and position of the nose can create a significant
difference to overall facial aesthetics.
Revision rhinoplasty is necessary in five to 12 percent
of rhinoplasty cases. Whilst some may require only minor
adjustments, others may need major modification, and may
be a result of too much or too little bone, cartilage or tissue
having been removed, resulting in a nose that is too large or
too small for their face.
Although techniques for any rhinoplasty surgery may
differ, as well as the patient’s desired results and the
surgeon’s personal preference, there is no doubt that a
well-performed rhinoplasty will reshape and improve an
appearance. csbm
