Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a plastic surgery procedure for correcting and reconstructing the nose.

• Specific Wicks are placed inside the nose for 12hours which will be removed before you leave the clinic.
• The severity of Bruises and swelling depend on the severity of the corrections made.it also differs from a patient to another and will disappear within a week.
