Rhinoplasty, popularly known as a nose job, is a form of plastic surgery that
allows surgeons to reshape and reconstruct the nose. This surgical procedure has
two main types: open and closed rhinoplasty. The former – requiring a longer
incision – allows for a more extensive view and access into the nasal
structures; while the latter adopts a more conservative approach and is more
suitable for minor enhancements.
Nose surgery comprises of various procedures, such as reduction rhinoplasty,
augmentation rhinoplasty, functional rhinoplasty, and more.
Most people undergo rhinoplasty to improve their appearance and the proportion
of their facial features. For instance, Asians typically have a low nasal bridge
with a rounded tip. A nose job can help enhance its form by adding height to the
bridge. Other commonly done types of rhinoplasty include alarplasty, which is
done to reduce the nostril size, and tip-plasty which enhances the tip of the
nose.
Some people may also need a nose surgery if they have difficulty breathing as a
result of a deviated septum or narrow nasal passages. In this case, a functional
rhinoplasty may be done to fix the structural deformity and improve one’s
ability to breathe through their nose. One type of functional rhinoplasty is a
septoplasty, which is done to correct nasal septum deformities and defects.
Depending on the type of rhinoplasty, it is performed while the patient is under either sedation with local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia. The entire operation generally takes between one to two hours. In most cases, Dr Tham, a Singapore rhinoplasty surgeon, skilfully creates small incisions inside the nose, which means that there will be no external incisions or visible scarring. In the remaining minority of rhinoplasty surgeries, a small incision is created at the bottom of the nose where it is easily concealed.
In most cases, Dr Tham does not use nose packing, which translates to an easier recovery and less pain. Usually, a nasal splint will be placed at the top of the nose and worn for a few days to provide support and control swelling following rhinoplasty surgery.
Every Patient Deserves Personalized, Quality Care
The nose, located front and centre, provides the foundation for facial harmony. Dr Tham’s approach to rhinoplasties is driven by three goals: to enhance the appearance and function of the patient’s nose, to do so with natural-looking results, and to ensure minimal to no scarring and discomfort.
Physically, the nose must be fully developed – typically by around age 14 for girls and 16 for boys.
Young patients also need to demonstrate emotional maturity and understanding about the plastic surgery process.
Otherwise, in general, most people can benefit from a rhinoplasty.
Our clinic’s approach to rhinoplasties is one that is fully patient-centric, with the patient’s wishes and facial harmony at the core. Dr Colin Tham will walk you through all your options and together formulate a plan that is in your best interest.
