Understanding Rhinoplasty Surgery
At The Centre for Cosmetic Surgery, we specialize in rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a “nose job”, offering personalized and expert care to patients across Delaware. With state-of-the-art facilities in Lewes and our Wilmington satellite location, we are committed to delivering exceptional results that align with your aesthetic goals.
Rhinoplasty is among the most sought-after cosmetic procedures for its ability to improve facial harmony and boost self-confidence. Dr. Abdollah Malek has extensive experience performing rhinoplasty, utilizing advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking outcomes tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure.
Whether you’re seeking to correct breathing issues, refine the size or shape of your nose, or address other cosmetic concerns, our team will guide you through every step of the process. From the initial consultation to post-operative care, we ensure a safe, supportive, and comfortable experience.
What Is Rhinoplasty Surgery?
A Rhinoplasty is performed to reshape, re-contour and re-define the nose. Being one of the most common cosmetic facial procedures, a rhinoplasty can sculpt the nose to alter unwanted attributes (such as a bump), change the appearance of the nostrils and the bridge, or correct injury and other problems that may affect breathing. It can involve reshaping the bone, cartilage, or soft tissue of the nose. A rhinoplasty is usually performed under either local or general anesthesia and lasts one to two hours, or occasionally longer for more complex deformities.
Rhinoplasty Procedure Details
Rhinoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Surgeons use one of two techniques when performing nose surgery. In a closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made within the nostrils. In an open rhinoplasty, the incision is made across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. The remaining incisions continue inside the nose, as with closed rhinoplasty. With both methods, the bone and cartilage is sculpted to the desired shape. Any additional cartilage needed to augment the nose can often be taken from the septum.
If the patient has a deviated septum, Dr. Malek will adjust the septum and the inner structures of the nose to improve breathing. Then the tissues are re-draped and stitched closed. If the patient desires nostril reshaping, this is done as the final stage of rhinoplasty.

Learn MoreBenefits of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, offers both cosmetic and functional improvements. This versatile procedure can enhance facial harmony, refine nasal shape, and correct structural issues that interfere with breathing. Some of the most common benefits of rhinoplasty include:
- Balancing proportions – Adjusting the size of the nose so it complements other facial features
- Refining the bridge – Modifying the width or removing bumps and depressions
- Shaping the tip – Contouring a tip that appears too large, boxy, drooping, or upturned
- Improving angles – Changing the angle between the nose and upper lip for better harmony
- Reshaping the nostrils – Narrowing or refining nostril size and shape
- Correcting asymmetry – Addressing crookedness, deviations, or irregularities
- Enhancing function – Improving nasal airflow and resolving breathing difficulties
Whether the goal is aesthetic refinement, functional improvement, or both, rhinoplasty provides long-lasting results that can boost confidence and quality of life.

Rhinoplasty Recovery
After your rhinoplasty, you may experience some puffiness, swelling, and a dull ache, along with potential bruising or stuffiness. Most people start feeling more like themselves within two days and are ready to return to work in about a week. As swelling gradually subsides, you’ll begin to see your new look emerge. Swelling can reappear occasionally during the first year, especially in the mornings, but it typically fades as the day goes on. If you wear glasses, you might need to prop them or tape them to avoid pressure on your nose for up to seven weeks.
