Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a 'nose job,' is a surgical procedure that reshapes and enhances the structure of the nose for aesthetic and/or functional improvement. It is one of the most popular plastic surgeries worldwide, sought by those who want to refine the shape of their nose or address breathing issues.

At Medixir Clinic, rhinoplasty is performed with precision and artistry by experienced surgeons who tailor each procedure to the patient's facial proportions and goals. Whether it’s to correct a hump, refine the nasal tip, narrow the bridge, or fix a deviated septum, rhinoplasty can significantly enhance both appearance and nasal function.

There are two main types of rhinoplasty techniques: open and closed. In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made at the base of the nose to fully expose the underlying structures. In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils, resulting in no external scars and a shorter recovery time.

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity. Patients usually return home the same day with a nasal splint to support healing during the first week.

Initial swelling and bruising are common and usually resolve within 10 to 14 days. Full results may take up to a year to settle as the tissues continue to refine and adjust. Post-operative instructions are carefully explained to ensure a smooth and safe recovery.

Rhinoplasty can be cosmetic, functional, or a combination of both. It not only improves facial harmony by creating better balance between the nose and other features, but also enhances quality of life by improving nasal airflow and resolving congenital or trauma-related issues.

Ideal candidates are healthy individuals with fully developed facial structures (usually 18+), who have realistic expectations and specific concerns about their nose’s size, shape, or function.

At Medixir Clinic, every rhinoplasty procedure is planned using advanced imaging and consultation, ensuring that the final result aligns with the patient’s vision and natural anatomy.

We also specialize in revision rhinoplasty, helping patients who are dissatisfied with the outcome of a previous nose surgery.

If you’re seeking to improve your facial profile, correct breathing problems, or simply gain confidence in your appearance, rhinoplasty at Medixir Clinic offers safe, natural-looking results tailored to you.
