To correct a crooked nose, the surgeon loosens the septum (partition) and straightens it. Excess cartilage is then removed.

Correcting a hooked nose or unproportionate nose is a more complicated procedure. The nose may need to be broken, and cartilage from other parts of the body (rib, ears) may be used for the best results.

This can be done in two ways: a closed technique with an incision on the inside of the nose in the nasal mucosa or an open technique with an incision in the skin bridge between the nostrils. 

Once the incision technique is chosen, the surgeon will adjust the nasal skeleton according to your wishes. 

The skin is then replaced, and the incisions sutured. Finally, tampons and a splint will be placed in the nostrils to maintain the new shape.

This will depend on the rhinoplasty chosen. A snub nose rhinoplasty is less painful than an extensive rhinoplasty. The nose will be sensitive after rhinoplasty, but the pain is generally much less than with other corrections.

The larger the correction, the higher the risk of pain. You will receive pain killers. 

Most patients suffer from a painful tugging sensation in their faces. Most patients also suffer from headaches in the first week. 

Swelling and bruising worsen in the first three days after surgery and then slowly diminish. 

Bruising can go as far as the eyes. Keep in mind that you will temporarily lose the sense of smell. You will recover it after a few days. Two to three check-ups are necessary, depending on the procedure and your recovery.
