Rhinoplasty -

Rhinoplasty or nose surgery is a procedure which is performed by a rhinoplasty surgeon – who’s job is  to reshape the nose in order to create a more visually pleasing look and in some cases, to correct severe breathing problems.

Rhinoplasty surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure in the United States. Rhinoplasty surgery usually involves reducing the size of the nose by removing and sculpting the nasal tissues in order to enhance the facial appearance. The results are unique to each individual, and depend upon such factors as skin condition and thickness, nasal and facial structure, genetic contributions, and age.

Traditionally, a “nose job” was performed only to correct major problems. However, recent surgical innovations allow for individuals to benefit from more moderate improvements from the rhinoplasty procedures as well. In general, having nose surgery provides the patient with a better facial balance and overall appearance.

Reasons for Rhinoplasty or  Nose Surgery-

-Bring a better proportion to the nose and facial features.
-Reduce the size of the nose that is too large or too wide.
-Correct an overly arched or “Roman” nose.
-Re-form a crooked or elongated nose tip.
-Restore the nose if damaged from an accident or sports injury.
-Help with breathing problems by rebuilding the nasal passage.
-Treat nasal deformities caused at birth.

Note: If rhinoplasty is being utilized to correct a breathing problem or nose deformity, the procedure may be covered under the patient’s insurance policy.

General Rhinoplasty Surgery -

The rhinoplasty procedure lasts from one to three hours. The surgeon may elect to utilize either local or general anesthesia, depending upon the complexity of the operation.

To begin the surgery, tiny incisions are made which allow the surgeon to access the underlying nasal structure. Typically these incisions are made on the inner surface of the nose (closed technique), but a small incision may also be made along the skin between the nostrils on the underside of the nose (open technique). Next, the cartilage and bone are reshaped to form the basis for the new look. The physician can discuss which technique is best when the patient arrives for the initial consultation visit.

Rhinoplasty Recovery -

Generally, post-op rhinoplasty recovery calls for plenty of rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing process and to reduce the rhinoplasty recovery time. Some swelling is normal, and the majority of the bruising will resolve within the first few weeks, although the ultimate result after rhinoplasty  is not visible until one year after rhinoplasty surgery.

A splint, bandages, and/or gauze are applied immediately following rhinoplasty surgery to aid in the healing process and to minimize movement of the nose. Patients must refrain from smoking for several weeks before and after the surgery.

In addition, any corrective glasses that are worn must be taped up and off the nose. The nose will need to be well-protected from the sun for the first year after the procedure while the body is adjusting to the new look.

Patients sometimes report minor pain associated with the nose surgery. Pain can be effectively treated with oral medication and/or cold compresses. Patients can minimize the risk of potential problems by carefully following the post-surgical directions given by the plastic surgeon.
