Rhinoplasty Augmentation (nose augmentation) is a highly sought-after cosmetic procedure, especially among Asian and non-Caucasian patients who wish to enhance a flat nasal bridge, refine a bulbous tip, or reduce wide, flaring nostrils. The goal is to create a more defined bridge, achieve elegant projection, and sculpt a well-shaped nasal tip, resulting in a balanced and aesthetically pleasing profile.
At Dr. Jaray Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Jaray Krainam, MD brings over 20 years of surgical expertise to every rhinoplasty case. His advanced approach focuses on achieving natural refinement while preserving nasal harmony and long-term stability.
During augmentation, a high-quality biocompatible implant or autologous tissue is used to enhance nasal height and shape. Incisions are hidden inside the nostrils, allowing the surgeon to gently lift the soft tissues and create the ideal pocket for precise implant placement.
📌 Operation Time
Rhinoplasty augmentation typically takes 1–2 hours to complete.
📌 Care After Surgery
Following surgery:
- A plaster cast or lightweight splint will be placed on the nose to maintain shape and support healing.
- Mild pain or pressure may be felt within the first few days but is easily managed with prescribed medication.
📌 Recovery Period
- Most patients return to work or school within 2 days.
- Full recovery and reduction of swelling generally take about 2 weeks.
Results continue to refine over several months as the tissues settle.
📌 Results
Dr. Jaray prioritizes quality, natural-looking results with strong structural support.
If a corrective revision is ever required due to surgical factors, the clinic provides revision rhinoplasty at no charge.
📌 Risks and Possible Complications
Rhinoplasty is safe and effective when performed by a skilled surgeon, but possible risks include:
- Infection
- Nose bleeding
- Asymmetry
- Implant shifting
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Rare need for secondary correction
Choosing an experienced surgeon significantly reduces these risks.
📌 Type of Anesthesia
The procedure is performed using:
- IV sedation
- Local anesthesia (numbing the surgical area)
📌 Hospital Admission
Depending on the patient’s needs and the surgeon’s preference, the procedure may be performed:
- As an outpatient surgery
- In a hospital
- In an accredited surgical suite
📌 Preparation Before Surgery
✔ Medical Evaluation
A full review of medical history, medications, allergies, and laboratory tests will be completed during consultation.
✔ Stop Smoking
Avoid smoking for 3–4 weeks before surgery, as nicotine impairs circulation and slows healing.
✔ Avoid Alcohol
Do not consume alcohol for 1 week prior to surgery and throughout the recovery period.
✔ Avoid Certain Medications
For 4–6 weeks before surgery, avoid:
- Hormones
- Anticoagulants
- Anabolic steroids
