When someone mentions nose jobs, we commonly think of crooked or bulbous noses magically transforming into slender, straight ones via cosmetic surgery (also called cosmetic rhinoplasty). However, that’s not the only type of nose surgery, although it is one of the popular ones.
What are the most common types of nose surgeries?
- Reduction Rhinoplasty (Big nose surgery)
As the name suggests, this nose job reduces the size of the nose to give off a slender, slimmer look. The nose is not only a highly functional organ of the body, but also serves to add to the aesthetic appeal of your face.
When you opt for a big nose surgery, you can choose the altered overall size of your nose or specific areas that need to be made smaller in size.
Resizing is generally done by removing cartilage and/or bone from the nose to achieve the desired shape and size.
- Augmentation Rhinoplasty (Depressed or flat nose surgery)
This treatment requires bone or tissue grafting to build up the nasal tip and/or bridge. In a number of cases, cartilage from other parts of the nose as well, usually the nasal septum (the dividing wall between the two nasal cavities).
In case there isn’t enough tissue to graft, synthetic implants may also be used.
- Deviated or Crooked Nose Surgery
A crooked nose is a common sight. However, it might look unpleasant on some people. It is a common, albeit intricate cosmetic nose job to correct the alignment. It includes correction of the irregular sinus and removing any sort of nasal obstruction. A closed surgery with cuts made on the bone to re-align the structure.
- Reconstructive Rhinoplasty (Revision nose surgery)
Post-surgery or any kind of trauma to the nose, the disfigured structured needs to be redone. This may involve fixing a deviated nasal septum, collapsed or deficient cartilages or the original medical issue. It is usually corrected with an open nose surgery by removing the scar tissue and may even require soft tissue filling.

The open procedure on the other hand involves cutting the narrow tissues separating the nostrils. The slits are made to uncover the skin of the cartilage and nose bone thus facilitating the reshaping procedure.
A big nose is then tapered by eradicating cartilage and bones. Additional cartilage grafting might also be done. The cartilage from the middle partition of the nose is utilised for the purpose. in many cases cartilage from the ear is also used. In case of major operation, our surgeons might also use cartilage from the bone of other body parts, implants or ribs. A deviated septum is also straightened in the surgery.
