Prior performing rhinoplasty, the surgeon should ensure that the patient is completely aware of the operation, including the risks and advantages. While rhinoplasty is a safe treatment, it is critical that it be performed by a professional. The plastic surgeon can create models of the nose as it is before surgery and how it will be after surgery. It can help patients and the plastic surgery team convey the surgery's goals more effectively.

Rhinoplasty is usually an outpatient treatment that takes 1.5 to 3 hours. Incisions are done within the nostrils in "closed rhinoplasty," a method with restricted capacity to make alterations. An incision is performed across the tissue between the nostrils as well as within the nostrils in "open rhinoplasty." These incisions heal quickly and are almost invisible.

Liquid rhinoplasty, also known as nonsurgical rhinoplasty, is a set of operations performed in the office while the patient is awake. Without invasive surgery, injectable hyaluronic acid fillers are utilized to change the form and size of the nose.

After rhinoplasty, there is a time of recovery.

Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort after surgery, which can be managed with medication. However, due to possible bruising under the eyes and the usage of a splint, the early portion of the recuperation period might be awkward at work and in social situations. To protect the nasal bones and cartilage, patients should expect to wear splints on the inside and outside of the nose for about a week after rhinoplasty. Patients should also refrain from vigorous activity such as jogging or swimming for two to three weeks, and for four to five weeks, they should not wear glasses.
