The Anatomy of the Nose
Rhinoplasty involves reshaping various components of the nose, including:
- Skin: During surgery, adjustments to the skin’s tightness or positioning may be made.
- Bone: The nasal bones can be reshaped to correct humps or adjust the width.
- Cartilage: Cartilage in the lower portion of the nose may be refined or augmented for better definition.
- Nasal Septum: A deviated septum can be straightened to improve breathing and nasal symmetry.
- Nostrils and Alae: The nostrils can be narrowed or reshaped to enhance balance.
- Nasal Tip: Refining the nasal tip can correct a bulbous, droopy, or asymmetric tip.
- Nasal Cavity: Reshaping the internal structures can resolve breathing problems.
- Blood Supply and Nerves: Proper care is taken to preserve blood flow and nerves for optimal healing and function.
1. Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty provides full access to the nasal structures for comprehensive reshaping. This method is preferred for more complex cases.
2. Closed Rhinoplasty
In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars. This technique is ideal for less extensive changes.
3. Tip Plasty
Tip plasty focuses solely on refining the nasal tip without altering other parts of the nose. It’s a less invasive option for correcting a droopy or bulbous tip.
4. Septorhinoplasty
Septorhinoplasty combines cosmetic reshaping with functional improvements, such as correcting a deviated septum to enhance breathing.
5. Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is performed to correct unsatisfactory results from a previous rhinoplasty, addressing both functional and cosmetic concerns.
6. Male Rhinoplasty
Male rhinoplasty is tailored to preserve masculine facial features while addressing cosmetic or functional concerns. The focus is on maintaining a strong, natural look.
7. Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Ethnic rhinoplasty respects the unique nasal characteristics of various ethnicities while enhancing balance and facial harmony. Techniques are customized to preserve cultural identity.
- African American Rhinoplasty – Focuses on refining the tip, reducing nostril flare, and sometimes augmenting the nasal bridge.
- Latino/Hispanic Rhinoplasty – Often involves reducing the nasal bridge and refining the tip while maintaining ethnic characteristics.
- Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty – Addresses a prominent nasal bridge or droopy tip while preserving strong facial features.
- Asian Rhinoplasty – Typically, it involves augmenting a low nasal bridge and enhancing tip projection for a more defined appearance.
Before your surgery, follow Dr. Stile’s instructions, which may include avoiding certain medications, arranging transportation, and stopping smoking to promote optimal healing.

Rhinoplasty Recovery Week by Week:
Week 1: Expect swelling and bruising. You’ll wear a splint and should keep your head elevated to minimize swelling.
Weeks 2-4: Swelling begins to subside, and you can return to light activities.
Months 1-3: Continued decrease in swelling, with final results gradually becoming apparent.
Months 6-12: All residual swelling subsides, and the final results are fully visible.
Follow-up visits are typically scheduled one week, one month, and three months after surgery to ensure proper healing.
Most patients take about 1-2 weeks off work for initial recovery. Strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks.
Light exercise can be resumed after 2-3 weeks, but vigorous activity or contact sports should be avoided for at least six weeks.
Most patients experience mild discomfort during the recovery period, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. The surgery itself is painless due to anesthesia.
Keeping your head elevated, applying cold compresses, and following Dr. Stile’s post-operative instructions can help reduce swelling.
Avoid blowing your nose for at least two weeks after surgery to prevent complications and allow proper healing.
Patients who undergo rhinoplasty can expect:
Improved breathing if functional issues were addressed.
- A more balanced and proportionate nose.
- Enhanced facial harmony.
- Improved breathing if functional issues were addressed.
Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible scars, as incisions are made inside the nostrils. Open rhinoplasty may leave a small scar on the columella, but it typically fades over time.
While initial results are visible within a few weeks, it may take up to a year for swelling to subside entirely and for the final shape to be revealed.
Rhinoplasty results are permanent. However, the natural aging process may cause slight changes over time.
