The structure that separates the two nostrils inside the nose is known as the nasal septum. It is made up of bone and cartilage. It may become twisted or deviated which causes a smaller nasal passage on one side of the nose, sometimes even both. This can, of course, lead to breathing problems. There are many different causes for this deviation. Trauma at birth or accidental injury are just two of many. The deviation will likely alter or impede the pattern of airflow through a person's nose. This will make it difficult to breathe. A problem that people may notice with a deviated septum is a crooked or "humped" nose.

The rhinoplasty will be performed completely inside of the nose to avoid scarring. This technique is called the "closed" technique. The goal of it is to achieve a natural look without leaving any visible scars. Plastic surgeons will likely use a chisel to remove the nasal hump. The nasal bones are then brought together to form a more narrower bridge. They may also reshape and refine the nose by sculpting the nasal tip.

Since there is no "perfect nose" for every patient, there is a difference between good results from patient to patient. This will depend on his or her expectations and facial proportions. The expectations will usually relate to the facial features, which will determine the natural dimensions of the nose. Most plastic surgeons will simultaneously consider ethnic features while enhancing the appearance of one's nose. No matter what ethnic characteristics are involved in the procedure, the goal will be to achieve an overall natural, balanced appearance.

After the nose job procedure, the registered nurse will monitor the patient closely in a recovery room until he or she is fully awake. A friend or relative will need to escort the patient from the surgery center to their home and will also need to stay with him or her for that night after the patient is ready to be discharged. The patient will need to follow the specific post operative directions that are discussed and written with the attending nurse. The patient will likely have some facial bruising and swelling for the first few days, but there is usually minimal pain and discomfort during the post operative period. The patient will need to schedule a return visit with their plastic surgeon on the next day for a follow-up evaluation done by the surgeon.

In the next few weeks and months following the surgery, the patient will possibly suffer some subtle swelling especially in the tip of the nose. The final results of the nose job may take up to a year or more to be fully apparent.
