Done. I did this one too. After I got braces, my teeth moved back (as was normal) and my nose looked bigger. So instead of feeling self-conscious about having a biiig nose... I touched it up a little instead!

What did Roxana Vancea say about her rhinoplasty?

As reported by Libertatea, Roxana Vancea took off her bandage and showed her new nose, writing on Facebook shortly after the operation, which the outlet said lasted one hour and 40 minutes: „Gata. Am facut-o si pe asta. Dupa ce mi-am pus aparat dentar, dintii mei s-au dus in spate (cum era normal) si nasul mi se vedea mai mare. Asa ca, decat sa fiu complexata ca am nasul mareeee… mai bine l-am retusat un pic!” (“Done. I did this one too.

Why her explanation is worth hearing

Her account connects a common, little-discussed cause: orthodontic work can shift the jaw and teeth, changing how the nose looks on the face even when the nose itself has not changed. Framing the correction this way, as restoring a balance rather than chasing a new look, reflects how many rhinoplasty consultations actually start — from a change elsewhere in the face, not from the nose in isolation. Nothing here comments on how she looks; the point is only what she said about her own reasoning.

How rhinoplasty is done today

Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose using either a closed or an open technique, chosen by the surgeon depending on how much correction is needed.

Who is a candidate, and how to prepare

Rhinoplasty is generally suitable for adults between about 18 and 45, sometimes older if health allows, who want a shape correction, better breathing, or both, and who have realistic expectations. Anyone who has recently had orthodontic treatment, as in her case, is advised to wait until the bite and jaw position have settled before deciding on a nose correction.

What recovery looks like

The first 24 hours are spent in the inpatient unit. For the first one to three days there can be some swelling or bruising, and breathing is mainly through the mouth while splints sit inside the nostrils; these come out around day 7. The external splint stays on for up to 14 days, when the stitches are also removed.

What recovery looks like

How recovery after rhinoplasty usually goes

  1. Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia, 1.5–3 hours, first 24 hours in the inpatient unit.
  2. Days 1–3Possible swelling or bruising; breathing mainly through the mouth with internal splints.
  3. Day 7Nasal splints are removed.
  4. Up to day 14External splint stays on; stitches are removed around this point.
  5. About 1 monthNo exercise, sauna, pool, hot baths or direct sun; first improvements seen after 2–3 weeks.
  6. 1–1.5 monthsMild nasal congestion can still linger.
  7. 1–1.5 yearsFinal shape settles once the tissue fully stabilises.
