What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, resize or correct the nose. It addresses both cosmetic concerns—such as bumps, asymmetry or a drooping tip—and functional issues like a deviated septum or breathing difficulties.
At Magniva Aesthetics, our approach ensures both aesthetic improvement and functional enhancement, tailored to your unique facial profile.

Rhinoplasty Procedure
Nose Surgery is a technically advanced procedure performed under local or general anesthesia based on the case complexity. The exact steps vary depending on whether the procedure is:
Step-by-Step
1. Pre-Surgical Assessment & Facial Analysis
A thorough evaluation ensures the procedure is personalised and safe.
Includes:
Medical Examination: Review of medical history, medications, allergies and nasal function.
Facial Proportion Analysis: Measuring nasal width, tip projection, angles and symmetry.
Breathing Assessment: Checking septum, turbinates, airflow and internal structural support.
Digital Simulation: Optional previewing of potential outcomes using imaging tools.
Treatment Planning: Deciding on open or closed rhinoplasty based on goals and complexity.
2. Anaesthesia Administration & Surgical Preparation
Ensures comfort and safety during the complete procedure.
Includes:
General Anaesthesia or IV Sedation: Based on patient suitability and surgeon preference.
Vital Monitoring: Heart rate, oxygen level and blood pressure continuously tracked.
Sterile Preparation: Cleansing the surgical area and placing sterile drapes.
Markings: External skin marking of nasal bridge, tip and incisions.
3. Creating Surgical Incisions
Precise incisions allow access to internal nasal structures.
Includes:
Closed Rhinoplasty Approach: Incisions made inside the nostrils for minor reshaping.
Open Rhinoplasty Approach: A small incision across the columella for complex correction.
Minimal Scarring Technique: Incisions designed to heal discreetly and naturally.
4. Reshaping the Nasal Bridge (Dorsal Modification)
Correcting height, width, or curvature of the nasal bridge.
Includes:
Hump Removal or Reduction: Using delicate instruments to refine the dorsal profile.
Bridge Narrowing: Adjusting nasal bones with controlled osteotomies.
Smoothing & Contouring: Ensuring a straight and balanced appearance.
5. Refining the Nasal Tip
A key step for defining the final aesthetic look.
Includes:
Cartilage Sculpting: Repositioning, trimming or reinforcing tip cartilages.
Tip Projection & Rotation: Adjusting how far the tip sticks out and its upward angle.
Structure Reinforcement: Using cartilage grafts (septal, ear or rib) for long-term stability.
6. Correcting Functional Breathing Issues
Improves airflow and nasal comfort.
Includes:
Septoplasty: Straightening a deviated septum for better breathing.
Turbinate Reduction: Reducing enlarged turbinates causing congestion.
Valve Support Grafts: Strengthening internal nasal valves to prevent airway collapse.
7. Closing Incisions & Applying Support
Final surgical refinements and wound closure.
Includes:
Internal Sutures: Dissolvable sutures placed inside the nose.
External Sutures: Used only in open rhinoplasty and removed after a few days.
Splint Placement: A nasal splint or cast supports the newly shaped nose.
Soft Packing (if required): To control bleeding and stabilise tissues.
8. Immediate Post-Operative Care in Clinic
Ensures a safe transition into recovery.
Includes:
Monitoring: Vital signs checked until fully awake from anaesthesia.
Nasal Care Instructions: Guidance on cleaning, cold compress use and medication.
Discharge Protocol: Patient sent home with detailed recovery instructions and follow-up schedule.
Recovery & Healing Timeline
Immediate Post-Surgery Phase
Includes:
Swelling, congestion, and mild bruising peak
Cold compress and head elevation required
Nasal splint and bandages remain in place
Breathing may feel blocked due to swelling
Early Healing Week
Includes:
Bruising begins to fade significantly
Pain reduces; discomfort becomes mild
Splint, tapes and external sutures usually removed at 5–7 days
Avoid blowing your nose or bending forward
Visible Improvement Phase
Includes:
Most facial bruising disappears
You can return to work or school
Light activities and normal daily routines resume
Tip swelling still noticeable but improving
Structural Healing & Stabilisation
Includes:
Nasal bones become more stable
Moderate exercise may be allowed
Swelling continues to decrease gradually
Breathing improves as internal tissues heal
Refinement Stage
Includes:
Tip definition becomes sharper
Bridge contour becomes smoother and more refined
Numbness fades and skin sensation improves
Most swelling (70–80%) has resolved
Final Shape Maturation
Includes:
Final nasal shape fully visible
Tip settles into its final position
Subtle contour changes continue for up to 12 months
Long-term breathing and aesthetic results stabilise
Results You Can Expect
- Refined and natural-looking nasal shape
- Improved facial symmetry and profile
- Enhanced breathing and nasal function
- Correction of previous deformities

Can fillers replace rhinoplasty?
Fillers can temporarily correct minor irregularities but cannot permanently alter nasal structure.
