What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery aimed at reshaping the nose for aesthetic or functional improvements. Whether you're unhappy with your nose's size, shape, or symmetry, or need to correct breathing issues caused by structural problems, rhinoplasty can help.
Common reasons people seek rhinoplasty include:
- Refining the nose tip.
- Smoothing a bump on the nose bridge.
- Correcting deformities from injury or birth defects.
- Improving breathing issues caused by a deviated septum or other structural problems.
At SCCSA, we customize each rhinoplasty to meet the patient's specific needs, ensuring natural-looking, balanced results that suit their individual facial features.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is ideal for individuals who are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and want to improve the appearance or function of their nose. Candidates typically seek rhinoplasty for:
- Enhancing nose shape, size, or symmetry.
- Correcting structural issues that impair breathing.
- Restoring the nose's appearance after an injury.
During your consultation at SCCSA, our team will discuss your concerns and goals to assess whether rhinoplasty is the right choice for you.
The Rhinoplasty Procedure and Recovery
Typically performed under general anesthesia, rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure, so you can go home the same day. During the surgery, the surgeon carefully creates small incisions to reach the bone and cartilage beneath the skin, allowing for precise adjustments to the nose’s structure. The surgery typically takes a few hours, after which patients are discharged to begin their recovery at home.
Recovery from rhinoplasty varies, but most patients experience swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes for the first week or two. You should be able to get back to your usual routine in 10-14 days, with the full results becoming clearer as the swelling diminishes in the months following surgery.
Our team at SCCSA ensures you receive detailed aftercare guidance and support, helping to ensure a smooth recovery and the best results.
