Rhinoplasty at Meridian

Overview

Rhinoplasty adjusts the bone and cartilage of the nose to bring it into better proportion with the rest of the face. Some patients are addressing a longstanding concern about shape or size; others are correcting a breathing obstruction alongside cosmetic goals. We plan conservatively, using digital imaging to discuss realistic outcomes before any decision is made, and we are candid when a smaller adjustment will serve you better than a dramatic one.

What to expect

The journey

  1. 01

    Imaging consultation

    Digital morphing software lets us explore possible shapes together, grounded in what your anatomy can realistically support.

  2. 02

    Surgical planning

    We confirm whether an open or closed technique suits your goals and review anesthesia and facility details.

  3. 03

    Procedure day

    Surgery typically takes two to three hours under general anesthesia at our accredited surgical suite.

  4. 04

    Splint removal

    The external splint comes off around day seven, revealing the early shape beneath residual swelling.

Afterward

Recovery

  1. 01

    Week 1

    Rest with your head elevated; most bruising and swelling around the eyes peaks and begins to fade.

  2. 02

    Weeks 2–3

    Visible swelling subsides enough for most patients to return to non-strenuous work and social activity.

  3. 03

    3–12 months

    Subtle refinement continues as internal swelling resolves; final shape is best judged at the one-year mark.
