Normal nose job is one of the types of nose surgery or rhinoplasty. In this surgery, to create specified beauty standards, the appearance and function corrections are made on this part of the face. Natural rhinoplasty is a combination of correction of the blade, bridge and tip of the nose.
Natural rhinoplasty is one of the most complex types of nose surgery, in which the natural function of the nose must be preserved in addition to the beautiful appearance. This cosmetic surgery is performed with both open and closed methods at the discretion of the surgeon. To learn about this type of rhinoplasty, follow this article by Dr. Benyamin Rahmati.
What is normal rhinoplasty?
Natural nose surgery is one of the most popular types of cosmetic surgery. Nose tip surgery, hole reduction, dorsal hump removal, nasal bridge width reduction (upper and bony part) and overall shape change are usually the things that are done in this operation.
In this type of rhinoplasty, the surgeon, in addition to creating the desired appearance, also solves the functional problems of the nose. Solving respiratory problems and narrowing of the nasal valves, solving sinus problems and constant headaches, removing nasal polyps and even changes in the palate to eliminate the problem of snoring are among the things that are done in this procedure.
In order to accurately understand the corrections that are made in natural rhinoplasty, you must first familiarize yourself with the criteria and standards specified for a natural nose.
The nose is located in the center of the face, and for this reason, its size and proportion with other parts have a great effect on beauty. By analyzing the faces of different people who had a beautiful face and of course a nose in the eyes of the public, scientists have determined a series of few principles and rules for the beauty of this central part of the face. These principles are:
If we divide the face vertically into five equal parts from the front, the width of a beautiful and natural nose should be equal to one of the five parts. If it is bigger or smaller, the nose does not fit the face. In this division, the nose should be placed in the center, that is, the third section.
If we divide the face again with horizontal lines into three equal parts. The length of the nose should be equal to one of these sections and again be placed in the middle section. In general, a beautiful nose should change according to the shape of the face. That is, if the face shrinks from top to bottom (heart face), the tip of the nose should be smaller than its bridge
After the standards related to the size and location, we should go to the angles of the natural nose model:
All these aspects have a limit; Because the shape of the face varies from person to person. The precise and appropriate angles of your face must be determined by the surgeon using 3D imaging.
The angle between the natural nose and the upper lip in the lateral view is between 95 and 115 degrees in women and 90 to 95 degrees in men.
The angle between the nose and forehead from the side view is between 115 and 130 degrees.
The angle between the chin and the tip of the nose should be 120 to 132 degrees.
Who can do natural nose surgery?
Generally and naturally, the growth and development of the nose takes place in boys between the ages of 16 and 18 and in girls between the ages of 14 and 16. According to this age range, all people over 18 years old can have their nose operated naturally for more beauty.
Meanwhile, there are certain medical conditions that are an obstacle for any type of surgery. People who have these special conditions and problems should not do cosmetic procedures; Because its complications and losses are more than the benefits. Among these special medical conditions that prevent rhinoplasty, we must mention the following:
- hemophilia
- Blood clotting problems
- Treatment with chemotherapy drugs
- Taking blood thinners
- keloid problem or excessive scarring in wounds and injuries
Performing natural rhinoplasty usually includes the following steps:
Preoperative preparations
In natural rhinoplasty, structural and functional problems are investigated and required changes are estimated. For this purpose, the surgeon first examines structural problems using accurate measuring tools. After the physical examination, she goes to the internal examination.
In the internal examination, the condition of holes, valves and the presence of polyps are checked. Usually, for a detailed examination, the surgeon prescribes radiographs of the nose and face so that the internal parts can be examined more closely. After these steps, a suitable nose for your face is simulated using a 3D scan. At this stage, the surgeon will ask you about the shape of your nose to get a better understanding of what you want. After confirming the final shape of the nose, the surgeon plans the changes to be made on the nose.
Surgery in the operating room
On the day of surgery, your blood pressure and vital signs will be checked and you will go to the operating room. The type of anesthesia to start the work is chosen according to the duration of the surgery, health conditions, your preference and the surgeon. If the necessary changes are not large, local anesthesia is used; Otherwise, general anesthesia should be used.
Along with general anesthesia, anesthetic is injected into the entire nasal area. After complete anesthesia, the necessary incisions are made. Open and closed techniques are used for this surgery. The surgeon chooses one of these techniques according to the amount of changes and her skill. After creating the cuts, it is time for changes and corrections
To have a normal functional nose, the following corrections are usually performed:
Correction of nose blade and bridge
The most difficult and important part of natural nose surgery is the correction of the nasal septum. Doing this, especially in bony and crooked noses, requires a lot of surgical skill. Normal nose surgery in these conditions is usually done with an open technique. The bridge of the nose is open and its back hump is removed. Finally, according to the 3D model, the bridge of the nose is repaired.
Correction of the tip of the nose
After the blade, it’s time for the tip of the nose. In most cases, the tip of the nose should be reduced; For this reason, fat and soft tissues are removed from this part. In noses that have drooping problems, which are called bulbous noses, a piece of grafted cartilage is used to stabilize the tip of the nose. This grafted cartilage is usually removed from the back of the ear. In some cases, the surgeon prefers to use silicone prostheses instead of grafted cartilage.
Changing the size of the nostrils and nostrils, removing polyps, correcting the crooked nasal septum and solving functional problems are other steps of normal nose surgery.
After making corrections and reaching a natural nose model, the incisions are sutured. After the stitches, a splint is placed on the nose to support the blade and then a medical cast is placed on the nose and you go to the recovery room. After recovery, he will be transferred to his room. Usually, you need to stay overnight in the hospital.
Care after normal nose surgery
You should know that it takes four to six weeks for the initial swelling and bruising of the surgery to go away. The final results of the operation can be seen approximately 12 months after the surgery. In people with a bony nose, the swelling may remain for up to 18 months. In these situations, the surgeon may control the swelling by injecting steroids. In the first few days after the surgery, you may have a feeling of congestion and cramping, which will gradually disappear. The most important cares after natural rhinoplasty that you should follow include:
- Try to keep your head higher than your heart for 6 weeks after the operation
- Avoid going to the bathroom for a week.
- After a week, visit the surgeon to remove the stitches and check the condition of the nose.
- Take the pain relievers, antibiotics, and medications prescribed for you as directed.
- Avoid vigorous physical activity for two weeks.
- Do not smoke or hookah until the surgeon gives you permission.
- There is nothing wrong with picking your nose after pulling a stitch; it is better to wash it with a sterile saline solution to clean it.
Does natural rhinoplasty have side effects?

Dangers of anesthesia
Severe allergic reaction, breathing problems and blood clots are among the most important side effects of anesthesia.

Not satisfied with the result
: In some cases, people are not satisfied with the result of their natural nose surgery. In this situation, many unhappy people decide to do rhinoplasty.
The occurrence of all the side effects that we have mentioned is directly related to the skill of the surgical team.
