Are you unhappy with the shape, size, or structure of your nose? Whether for aesthetic reasons or to improve breathing, rhinoplasty surgery—commonly known as a nose job—is one of the most transformative procedures in modern plastic surgery. At GLOJAS Plastic Surgery Specialist Clinic Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, we offer advanced nose reshaping solutions tailored to your unique facial structure, ethnicity, and medical needs.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the shape and structure of the nose. It can serve cosmetic or functional purposes, including:
Reducing the size or width of the nose
Refining the tip or nostrils
Straightening the bridge or removing a nasal hump
Correcting asymmetry or previous trauma
Improving breathing by correcting a deviated septum
Rhinoplasty surgery is increasingly popular in Malaysia, as it not only enhances appearance but also improves nasal function and breathing comfort.
Rhinoplasty involves reshaping nasal structures like bone, cartilage, or tissue under general or local anaesthesia. The surgeon makes precise incisions—either inside the nostrils (closed technique) or across the base of the nose (open technique)—to access and sculpt the nose. Adjustments may include refining the tip, removing a hump, narrowing the bridge, or correcting asymmetry. Functional issues like deviated septum can also be addressed. The incisions are then closed and the nose is bandaged to support healing.
Understanding the different types of rhinoplasty is important to identify which treatment is right for you.
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Focuses on improving the appearance of the nose. This includes smoothing bumps, reshaping the tip, narrowing the nostrils, or enhancing overall symmetry.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Addresses internal issues that impair breathing, such as nasal valve collapse or septal deviation. Often combined with septoplasty.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Tailored for individuals of specific ethnic backgrounds—particularly Asian patients. Emphasizes preserving natural ethnic features while enhancing proportion and balance.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Performed when a previous rhinoplasty yields unsatisfactory results or causes complications. This is a more complex procedure that requires an experienced surgeon.
There are two primary surgical techniques for rhinoplasty surgery:
| Technique | Description | Scarring | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Rhinoplasty | Small incision between nostrils for full access | Minimal visible | Major structural changes |
| Closed Rhinoplasty | Incisions inside nostrils | No visible scar | Minor reshaping or refinement |
Your surgeon will recommend the best approach based on the complexity of the procedure.

Nose Fillers
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers injected to lift the nose bridge or smooth bumps. Results last 12 to 18 months. No downtime required.
Dissolvable threads inserted under the skin to lift and contour the nasal bridge or tip. Results last 1 to 2 years, depending on the technique used.
These options are best for subtle refinements and do not address structural or breathing issues.
