Who this may help
An adult with stable facial growth, realistic goals, and a specific concern about nasal proportion or function may be considered after an examination of the nose, airway, skin, and supporting structures.
Rhinoplasty
Features considered in proportion—not in isolation.
Rhinoplasty reshapes bone and cartilage to bring the nose into better proportion with the rest of the face. ICRS has long approached concerns such as a bridge hump, asymmetry, width, projection, or overall shape as part of the full facial profile rather than as an isolated feature.

What to know before deciding.
02 Recovery overview3 phases
01
Early: splinting, congestion, bruising, and visible swelling are common during the first one to two weeks.
02
Routine: return to work and exercise depends on bruising, breathing, and the extent of bone or cartilage work.
03
Maturation: subtle swelling can continue for many months; final refinement may take a year or longer.
03 Realistic goals3 points
- Refine a specific proportion or contour while preserving identity
- Discuss cosmetic and airway priorities separately
- Plan for gradual resolution of swelling
04 Alternatives to compare3 options
- No procedure
- Makeup or photographic styling
- Airway evaluation without cosmetic surgery
