Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)

Rhinoplasty in open or closed technique to reshape the nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, or overall nasal proportions. Non-surgical rhinoplasty using dermal filler is also available as a temporary alternative. Recovery includes 1 to 2 days of bed rest, suture removal at one week, and primary swelling resolution within two to four weeks — though final shape continues settling for up to one year.

Rhinoplasty at CG Cosmetic Surgery is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons experienced in both open and closed approaches, allowing the technique to be matched to the complexity of each patient's anatomical goals. In the open rhinoplasty approach, a small transcolumellar incision connects the two nostril incisions, allowing the surgeon to lift the nasal skin off the underlying cartilage framework for direct visualization and three-dimensional reshaping of the tip, dorsum, and alar cartilages — the preferred approach for complex tip work, significant dorsal reduction, or cases requiring cartilage grafting from the ear or septum. The closed rhinoplasty approach limits all incisions to inside the nostril, avoiding any external scars and reducing post-operative swelling — suitable for patients whose goals are limited to dorsal refinement or modest tip rotation without requiring cartilage redistribution. For patients seeking temporary augmentation or correction without surgery, non-surgical rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid dermal filler can smooth dorsal humps, lift the nasal tip, and improve symmetry with no downtime, though results are temporary (typically 12 to 18 months). Post-operative recovery from surgical rhinoplasty includes one to two days of bed rest with the head elevated to manage swelling, a splint worn over the bridge for approximately one week, and suture removal at day 7. The majority of visible bruising and swelling resolves within two to three weeks, allowing return to social and professional activities. The nasal skeleton is structurally stable by four weeks, though the full refinement of tip shape and skin contraction over the new framework continues for up to twelve months as residual edema fully resolves. Price is by consultation only, varying with technique complexity and surgical duration.
