Nose Job Overview
A nose job, known professionally as Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the shape of your nose. Your surgeon at Speciality Aesthetic Surgery will go over all of the specifics with you but there are two ways that rhinoplasty can be done. There is either an open rhinoplasty in which the nose is cut between the nostrils, or a closed rhinoplasty in which tiny incisions are made inside the nostrils.
It is far more common to have an open rhinoplasty as sometimes the closed option isn’t available or isn’t possible to achieve the results that you are looking for. This procedure can take anywhere up to around four hours, and you are going to have to take the following week off work to recover. Long-term recovery can take anywhere up to a year in order for all the swelling to completely subside. In most cases, patients feel very comfortable about the appearance of their nose within 7-14 days.
