This patient’s septum is bent right at the top, while the lower (caudal) septum has slipped off the anterior nasal spine to the left, creating a complex septal deviation that affects airflow.

To correct this properly, the patient underwent a septorhinoplasty, which is a more advanced procedure that allows the septum to be repositioned and securely fixed back in the midline, restoring a stable and open nasal airway on both sides.

In cases like this, attempting to correct the problem with a simple septoplasty alone is often insufficient to address the full extent of the deviation and, if structural support is not adequately managed, can increase the risk of complications such as loss of dorsal support or saddle nose deformity.

This is the intra-operative before and after of a male by .ent showing correction of a complex deviated septum and turbinate hypertrophy to improve nasal airflow, together with addressing the dorsal hump and under-projected tip to achieve a strong, straight, masculine profile.

This is a 3-week post-op update of a male for our very nice patient by .ent and , who underwent a functional rhinoplasty to improve his breathing, while at the same time increasing the dorsal and radix height using his own rib cartilage, with careful tip and alar refinement to create a masculine, straight profile that enhances the rest of his facial features.

At this stage, there is still swelling, which is expected. Swelling will continue to settle over the next few months, and the definition will become even clearer as healing progresses.

Thank you to our patient for trusting us and allowing us to share his rhinoplasty journey.

Top 5 Rhinoplasty Recovery Questions — A Practical Guide

One of the most common concerns during consultation is recovery and downtime. Here is a realistic general guide for most patients:

Return to work
• Desk-based work: ~10–14 days
• Public-facing roles or physically demanding work: ~2–4 weeks

Exercise
• Walking: ~7–10 days
• Light exercise: from ~3 weeks
• Heavy gym / HIIT: ~6 weeks
• Contact sports: ~3 months

Glasses
• Usually from ~2–3 weeks
• May be longer after osteotomies, dorsal grafts, or revision surgery
• Earlier use may require taping to the forehead or cheek support

Makeup
• Eyes & face: ~7–10 days
• Over the nose: after ~2 weeks, once the skin has healed

Blowing the nose & sneezing
• No nose blowing: ~2 weeks
• Sneezing: allowed immediately with mouth open to reduce pressure
• Sneezing normally: usually safe after ~2 weeks

Recovery timing varies depending on skin thickness, extent of surgery, grafting, and whether the surgery is primary or revision.

This is a general guide only. Your recovery plan should always follow the specific advice given by your own surgeon, based on your individual surgery.

Quick 1-week post-op update for our very nice patient by .ent and

He underwent correction of a deviated septum and nasal structure to improve breathing, together with hump reduction, deprojection and tip rotation to achieve a balanced, straight and masculine profile.

There’s still swelling, as expected at just one week, but the early shape and alignment are already visible. The nose will continue to refine over the next few months as the healing progresses.

Grateful to our patient for allowing us to share this early stage of his recovery. Wishing him a smooth healing journey, and we look forward to seeing the definition improve as the swelling continues to settle.

Many patients who have had nose threads can feel something firm under the skin long after the effect has worn off. These are often undissolved thread bundles, and the barbs can create internal scarring and tethering over time.

When these thread bundles are removed, we’re often left with scarring and an irregular surface. Without proper reconstruction, the nose may lose support and develop contour irregularities. Over time, heavily scarred skin can contract, making future reconstruction more difficult.

Using natural cartilage to rebuild the nose immediately can help restore support and provide a stable, long-term result.

Male functional by .ent and for a droopy, under-rotated and elongated nose.

We corrected the deviated septum and nasal bones to improve breathing, and reshaped the nose to restore a strong, masculine profile with a straight dorsum and natural tip rotation.

Before and after of a male functional and reconstructive rhinoplasty performed after a contact sports injury by .ent and

The goal was to restore breathing, correct the deviated structure, and rebuild the nasal framework — while keeping the nose strong, straight, and masculine.

This is the one-week post-op reveal of our very nice patient who underwent with .ent and

There’s still swelling, but you can already see how the new nose brings out the best of her facial features.

Grateful to her for allowing us to share a part of her rhinoplasty journey.

26/11/2025

These threads were still inside the nose until they were removed before surgical rhinoplasty.

Many patients assume that nose threads dissolve completely, but even after a long time, they can still remain inside.

Although the lifting effect is gone, the barbs continue to create scarring and tethering beneath the skin. These changes don’t just affect the appearance of the nose — they also make future rhinoplasty more complex.

If you’ve had nose threads before and are considering further treatment, it’s important to have the nose properly assessed by a trained rhinoplasty surgeon before adding new threads.

25/11/2025

Intra-operative views by .ent and

Before surgery, this patient had a very low radix and dorsum, with a bulbous tip and hanging alar, giving the nose a shorter and heavier appearance from the front and side.

In this case, we:
• Augmented the radix and dorsum with DCF for a smooth, natural bridge
• Refined the tip and alar for better definition and balance

Every part of the nose needs to be addressed in rhinoplasty to achieve a well-balanced nose that complements the rest of the face without appearing overdone.

23/11/2025

This is the intra-operative view of a complex revision rhinoplasty performed by .ent and

More than 10 threads were removed, followed by immediate reconstruction using rib cartilage to rebuild the dorsum and tip, with alarplasty to restore a natural, balanced and refined nose.

Be careful about adding more threads if you’ve already had complications. Threads do not dissolve the way many people believe. Even years later, they can remain intact and create internal scarring that makes future surgery more difficult.

A proper assessment is essential for anyone with previous threads considering rhinoplasty.
