Love Your Nose
The face is the most visible part of the body, with the nose positioned centrally, making any structural defects highly noticeable. Rhinoplasty, or cosmetic nose surgery, not only enhances the nose's appearance but also establishes a more harmonious connection between the nose and other facial features. Therefore, the nose should not be regarded as an isolated organ; its relationship with the forehead, eyes, lips, and chin is crucial, as defects in these areas can influence how the nose is perceived. For instance, a small chin can make the nose appear more prominent. Failing to consider this balance may result in dissatisfaction with the surgical outcome.
Today, rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures globally, allowing individuals to reshape their noses. It is essential to recognize that the nose is a key feature of facial aesthetics and plays a critical role in overall beauty. Many seek rhinoplasty due to dissatisfaction with their nose's appearance, while others require it to address breathing difficulties.
Rhinoplasty is not considered an emergency procedure; however, it is one of the most complex forms of plastic surgery due to the nose's intricate functions. Therefore, patients should thoroughly research and carefully choose a qualified surgeon to minimize the risk of complications. Breathing through the nose is vital for our health. The nose not only serves as a pathway for inhaled air but also cleans, warms, and humidifies it. Consequently,nasal obstruction can deprive a person of these essential benefits.
Considering both the significance of nasal function and the aesthetic impact of the nose on a person’s face underscores the necessity for a rhinoplasty surgeon to possess both extensive knowledge and experience. An experienced surgeon will ensure that aesthetic modifications do not compromise the nose's functionality.
In the past, rhinoplasty primarily focused on reducing the size of the nose, with an ideal being a small, high, and arched appearance. However, the field has evolved significantly. "Augmentation rhinoplasty" has emerged, shifting away from traditional techniques. This method involves not only reducing the size of the nose but also enhancing its structure to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing outcome without compromising function.
By adhering to these advancements, the likelihood of complications following rhinoplasty decreases significantly. An experienced surgeon can predict potential issues based on a thorough examination and should openly discuss any concerns with the patient, potentially advising against surgery if complications are likely.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most effective cosmetic surgeries for achieving your desired nose shape. The procedure can correct various issues, such as a crooked nose, a prominent bump, asymmetry, or breathing problems. It is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation and takes about one hour or more. The results are generally permanent.

Iran has gained a reputation as the global capital of rhinoplasty. A study by the Iranian Rhinology Association in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University revealed that over 80,000 rhinoplasties are performed annually in Iran, significantly higher than in the United States.
Iranian surgeons excel in a variety of rhinoplasty techniques, from natural to fantasy styles, making the country a sought-after destination for cosmetic surgery. While countries like South Korea and Brazil are known for their cosmetic procedures, Iran offers high-quality services at competitive prices.
The cost of rhinoplasty in Iran ranges from $1,200 to $2,200, which is considerably lower than in countries like Turkey, where prices can reach $4,000, and even higher in places like India and the UAE.

Rhinoplasty is a surgery to change the shape of the nose. Both breathing and the nose's shape are related. A rhinoplasty can be used not only to change the way the nose looks but also to improve breathing.
Septoplasty is a surgery to improve breathing. It straightens the wall inside the nose that divides the nasal passages into a right and a left side, known as the nasal septum. When the septum is crooked, it can make it harder to breathe through the nose. A septoplasty is often done at the same time as a rhinoplasty.
No. Rhinoplasty is a difficult operation. This is due to several factors. First, the nose is a complicated 3D shape that is in the middle of the face. Changes made during rhinoplasty often are very small. But these changes can make a big difference in the way the nose looks and functions. Because these changes are small, so is the margin for error.
Swelling and the placement of local anesthetic in the skin distort the nose during surgery. That can hide many of the small changes made. Rhinoplasty also doesn't have a regular plan or set order of steps. Surgeons personalize each operation to the needs of the patient.
Nearly everyone who has rhinoplasty is able to safely leave the hospital the same day as the surgery. In rare cases, you may stay in the hospital for one night if you're having a hard time with nausea or have other health problems that need to be monitored.
Plan to take a week off from work, school or other duties. You will feel better each day during the first week. One week after surgery, people usually feel like they are themselves again.
After surgery, there will be some swelling. The swelling can take many months to go away. Most people stop noticing it after a couple of months. People are usually back to doing most activities after a week and all activities after 2 to 4 weeks.
All surgeries have risks. Fortunately, rhinoplasty risks are small and complications are rare. Your health care provider talks to you about the risks and benefits before the operation.
Before the surgery, some surgeons use simulations to show what you may look like after surgery. Your provider takes photographs of several views of your face. These photos can be changed to give you an idea of what your nose might look like after surgery.
Not for most people. One day after surgery, most people rate their pain between 0 and 4 out of 10.
No. Packing can be very uncomfortable. But you'll likely have some soft splints in your nose. These splints have a hole in them so you can breathe through them, at least for a few days. They can be easily removed at the one-week visit.
Bruising is not common. Any minor bruising usually lasts about a week.
Most rhinoplasties are done by plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons or otolaryngologists, also called ENTs. Training and board certification in one of these specialties is a good starting point. You'll probably want a surgeon who often does rhinoplasty.
