• How does a rhinoplasty work?
  Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to enhance its appearance and improve its function. It can address various concerns such as reducing or increasing the size, altering the shape of the tip or bridge, correcting asymmetry, or improving breathing difficulties. The procedure requires general anesthesia, so you’ll be asleep and won’t feel anything while it’s happening. The operation typically takes around 3 to 4 hours, with a few hours necessary for recovery. It is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can head home after the procedure.
• Am I a right candidate for rhinoplasty?
  Anyone who wants to improve their nose’s appearance or function can be a suitable candidate. It’s important to have realistic expectations, good overall health, and a fully developed nasal structure, typically around the age of 15 or older. Consulting with a Belo surgeon is crucial to determine if rhinoplasty is right for you and to discuss your goals and expectations.
• How is the recovery for rhinoplasty like?
  The nasal cast, sutures, and swelling may look overwhelming for the first week. Patients may experience a stuffy nose during this period. Some patients manage to return to work a few days after the surgery, while others may need more rest. It varies on a case-by-case basis. Heavy exercises and strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-8 weeks after surgery.
• What are potential risks and complications?
  Potential risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, difficulty breathing through the nose, and changes in skin sensation. It’s important to discuss these risks with your surgeon and report any unusual symptoms immediately.
• Will rhinoplasty leave me visible wounds?
  Our surgeons carefully place incisions in inconspicuous areas. With careful suturing techniques and well-designed incisions, the scars from rhinoplasty generally blend well with natural skin creases, making them almost invisible.
• How do I know if nose surgery or a nose thread lift is a better option?
  If you’re looking for a procedure with immediate results and no cutting, a nose thread lift may be right for you. However, if you want permanent results and a more comprehensive treatment for your unique nose, rhinoplasty may be the better option. Consulting with your Belo surgeon will help you decide which procedure best suits your needs.
• When will I see the best results?
  The first week after rhinoplasty won’t show the results you want due to swelling, especially around the eyes. The swelling will subside within 4 days to a week, and the sutures will be removed 5-7 days after. The final results will become more apparent as the swelling continues to decrease over the following months.
