What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to achieve a more balanced and feminine appearance. As part of facial feminization surgery (FFS), rhinoplasty focuses on refining masculine features to create softer, more traditionally feminine contours.
Who Is Rhinoplasty For?
This procedure is ideal for transgender women and non-binary individuals seeking to feminize their facial features. It is also suitable for anyone looking to enhance their nose's shape and achieve better facial harmony.
Benefits of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty provides numerous benefits:
Refines the shape and size of the nose for a more feminine appearance.
Enhances overall facial symmetry and balance.
Boosts self-confidence and alleviates gender dysphoria.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from rhinoplasty varies by individual, but general expectations include:
Swelling and bruising typically subside within 1-2 weeks.
Most individuals return to daily activities after 1-2 weeks.
Final results become visible as swelling decreases, often within 6-12 months.
Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions is essential for achieving the best outcomes.
