Rhinoplasty
The majority of people who seek rhinoplasty, often known as nose cosmetic surgery, are not happy with the size or shape of their noses. The most prominent feature on your face is your nose. Therefore, more obvious changes in the nose’s size or form could make people laugh at you.
People who have very prominent noses may feel self-conscious. An operation called a rhinoplasty can correct inherited or acquired asymmetries in the nose in both men and women. People frequently favor the Rhinoplasty treatment in particular.
Who are Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty?
The center of the face is formed by the nose, which also gives the face its personality. Many people feel uneasy and less confident because of the size or shape of their noses. Rhinoplasty has a noticeable cosmetic influence, as well as a major psychological effect on the patient.
After puberty and the end of growth, this sort of surgery is preferred. There is no set maximum age for rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty Preparation Process
At Healthy Life Clinic, we always advise prospective rhinoplasty patients to have a free first consultation with our plastic surgeon before the treatment. Our expert will determine whether rhinoplasty is a good choice for you and will go over the steps involved in the procedure. The surgeon will explain the anesthesia to you as well as any potential hazards to the procedure. You will have time during the appointment to ask any questions you may have, particularly those regarding the procedure’s timeline, your goals, and any worries you may have regarding the outcomes of the rhinoplasty.
You will receive instructions and an explanation of how to prepare for surgery when you book your appointment, including details about what to eat, drink, smoke, and whether or not to take certain medications. It is essential to adhere to all of these recommendations to ensure a successful treatment and speedy recovery after rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty Procedure Steps
Check out the Rhinoplasty procedure steps in Healthy Life Clinic:
Anesthesia
In order to increase comfort and ensure a painless treatment, local or occasionally general anesthetics are administered.
Incision
There are two procedures used to do rhinoplasty: open and closed. When the incisions are internal to the nose and invisible from the outside, it can be done safely. By creating a small incision in the soft tissue separating the two nostrils, the surgeon can also complete the procedure in an open manner.
Nose Shaping
Using cartilage from other parts of the body, our plastic surgeon Dr. Idris Elmas can decrease or increase specific portions of the nose during rhinoplasty. The nasal septum cartilage is most frequently used for this, with cartilage from the ear or a rib only sometimes being used.
Correction of the deviated nasal septum
At this point, the lateral prominences and deviated septum level lift to allow for unhindered respiration.
Closing the incision
The tissues are stitched together by the plastic surgeon once he or she has given your nose the shape you want. The physician may also place more sutures in the region of natural curvature to modify the size of your nostrils. The surgeon next performs nasal fixation and nasal tamponade to finish the procedure.
Recovery After Rhinoplasty
The surgeon covers the patient’s nose with a plaster sheet at the conclusion of the procedure, which they must wear for 14 days. Additionally, a tamponade is inserted into the nasal passages and is removed by the physician after two days.
You must wear the plaster for an additional two weeks even though it comes off after 14 days. This eliminates the chance that you will wake up with a sore nose. It is possible to begin massaging the skin on the bridge of the nose three weeks after the operation to begin releasing it. After the procedure, significant swellings and bruising will go down within 14 days. However, little swelling in the nose might occasionally persist even six months following the treatment. You’ll be able to see the outcome after six months.
Individual variances may negatively impact the surgery’s outcome. This uncontrollable disorder may show symptoms like swelling of the nasal root, a little irregularity with excessive bone development, or swelling of the soft tissues near the tip of the nose. These issues are uncommon, and if they don’t go away on their own, the doctor can fix them with a quick operation. The following are daily recovery procedures after rhinoplasty:
Mild postoperative pain can be managed with common analgesics. Bruises, like swelling, are a common occurrence in the postoperative period, particularly while the bone portion is being adjusted. Around the first to third day following the treatment, they start to show up near the base of the nose and underneath the eyes before retreating towards the face. You can resume athletics and intense physical activity after 4 to 8 weeks. Your mucous membranes will heal and your nasal tissues will generally regenerate quickly and effectively.
