Why patients choose Dr. Saleem
Choosing the right surgeon is the most important factor in achieving a successful rhinoplasty result.
Individualized surgical planning
Every patient’s facial proportions, skin thickness, and breathing are assessed before a plan is proposed — not a standard template.
Natural-looking results, preserved breathing
Emphasis on facial harmony rather than an artificial “operated” appearance, with nasal breathing preserved or improved, not compromised.
Advanced open and closed technique
Both approaches are offered and chosen based on what your specific correction actually needs.
Comprehensive pre-operative assessment and follow-up
Detailed evaluation before surgery, and detailed post-operative follow-up afterward — not a single visit and a handoff.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose by modifying the nasal bone, cartilage, and soft tissues. The goal is a nose that looks natural and functions well while staying in harmony with the rest of the face. The surgery can:
- Improve facial balance
- Reduce or remove a dorsal hump
- Refine a wide or bulbous nasal tip
- Straighten a crooked nose
- Correct asymmetry
- Improve breathing caused by a deviated septum
- Repair nasal deformities after injury
- Restore appearance after a previous unsuccessful surgery
Types of rhinoplasty offered
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Improves size, shape, symmetry, and proportion — for a dorsal hump, wide nose, bulbous or drooping tip, crooked nose, or large nostrils.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Corrects internal structural problems like a deviated septum or nasal valve collapse to improve breathing, while preserving appearance.
Septorhinoplasty
Combines cosmetic reshaping and breathing correction in a single operation.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Corrects the result of a previous nose surgery — more complex due to scar tissue and altered anatomy, requiring advanced planning.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Maintains your natural ethnic identity while refining nasal proportions and improving facial harmony.
Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty
Repairs deformities from accidents, sports injuries, or nasal fractures, restoring both appearance and function.
The rhinoplasty procedure
Every rhinoplasty begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Saleem evaluates your facial proportions, skin thickness, nasal anatomy, breathing, and treatment goals.
Step 1 — Consultation
Medical assessment, facial analysis, a digital discussion of realistic expectations, and surgical planning.
Step 2 — Anaesthesia
The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia for patient comfort and safety.
Step 3 — Surgery: Open or Closed
Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision across the columella for excellent visibility in complex reshaping. Closed rhinoplasty hides all incisions inside the nostrils, suited to selected patients with less extensive corrections. Surgery typically takes 2–4 hours.
Rhinoplasty recovery timeline
- First 24–48 hours
Mild swelling and bruising, nasal congestion, splint remains in place. Rest with head elevated.
- Week 1
Splint removed, bruising starts improving. Most patients return to desk work within 7–10 days.
- Weeks 2–4
Swelling continues to decrease. Light daily activities resume; heavy exercise still avoided.
- 1–3 months
Most visible swelling resolves. Nasal definition becomes apparent; normal social activities.
- 6–12 months
Final nasal refinement develops gradually as tissues fully mature. Subtle changes continue up to a year — a normal part of healing, not a complication.
Side effects
The most common side effect of rhinoplasty is a longer downtime for recovery. Swelling occurs after surgery, most of which resolves after 3 weeks, though final results may take a few months. Other side effects include pain and numbness for a few days. Revision is rarely required.

Who are ideal candidates for rhinoplasty?
Nose reshaping is indicated for cosmetic concerns (deviated or depressed tip, nasal hump, fatty nose) and functional concerns (difficulty breathing due to a deviated nasal septum). Nose reconstruction may also follow trauma or cleft lip.
What is aftercare like following rhinoplasty?
A soft diet is advised, avoiding apples or tough-to-chew foods. Strenuous exercise is avoided for 4 weeks, and smoking should stop 3 weeks before and 4 weeks after surgery.
What is the ideal age for rhinoplasty?
18 years old, once nasal growth is fully complete.
Are septoplasty and rhinoplasty different surgeries?
Yes. Septoplasty corrects only the septum; rhinoplasty reshapes the whole nose, including the septum when needed.
When is rhinoplasty possible after a trauma or accident?
Two timelines are typically offered: early, within 2–3 weeks of injury, or after about one year once swelling has fully settled.
Can a thick or fatty nose be made thinner?
Yes — thick, fatty noses can be reshaped and thinned through surgery.
