With Dr. Mark Kohout
What is Rhinoplasty?
The procedure can involve altering the cartilage, bone, and skin of the nose to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome or increase functionality. Rhinoplasty can be performed using two primary techniques: open rhinoplasty, where an incision is made across the columella (the tissue separating the nostrils), and closed rhinoplasty, where incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scarring. Recovery from rhinoplasty typically involves swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few weeks.
Individual results vary due to personal health factors and genetics, and all surgical procedures carry inherent risks that should be discussed with a qualified health professional.
Who May Benefit
Choosing to undergo a cosmetic or reconstructive procedure is a significant decision that requires a clear understanding of your personal goals and physical needs. While every surgery is unique, certain criteria help determine if a patient is likely to achieve the best possible results and a safe recovery.
- Individuals desiring a more balanced facial profile.
- Those with breathing difficulties from nasal structure issues.
- Patients wanting to alleviate an injured or misshapen nose.
- Individuals born with congenital nasal defects.

How is the procedure performed?
Anaesthesia Administration
The procedure begins with the administration of anaesthesia, which is usually general anaesthesia, for patient comfort and safety throughout the surgery.
Incision
The surgeon makes incisions, which can be done either inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the base of the nose (open rhinoplasty), depending on the desired changes and complexity.
Nasal Reshaping
The surgeon then reshapes the underlying bone and cartilage to achieve the desired nose shape, adjusting size, width, and angle as needed before closing the incisions.

What is the Recovery like?
Recovery from Rhinoplasty typically involves a few key stages.
- Patients are advised to rest for the first few days, keeping their head elevated to reduce swelling.
- Some swelling and bruising are common, typically peaking within the first week before gradually subsiding.
- Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing and remove any splints or stitches as necessary.
- While initial recovery may take about two weeks, complete healing and final results can take several months to a year.
What are the Risks?
Rhinoplasty carries several risks, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anaesthesia. Patients may also experience complications such as breathing difficulties, persistent swelling, and dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome. In rare cases, additional surgery may be necessary to correct issues. It’s essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon to make an informed decision.
What are the Costs?
The cost of rhinoplasty can vary significantly based on factors such as the surgeon’s fee, facility charges, and anaesthesia costs. Additional expenses may include pre-operative consultations, post-operative care, and any required medications, all of which can influence the total price. Many clinics provide financing options to help make the procedure more accessible. For an accurate estimate and to discuss payment solutions, please contact the clinic directly. We are committed to offering flexible payment plans so that rhinoplasty surgery is within reach for all patients.
