Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure to reshape your nose. Rhinoplasty reshapes your nose for corrective and aesthetic purposes. Rhinoplasty can reshape your nose which has birth defects, age related changes or injuries. It can reduce or enhance your nose as well as reshape the bridge and nose tip.

If you are self conscious or unhappy with your nose, you are a best candidate for the rhinoplasty. Slight changes to the shape of your nose have a dramatic effect on your appearance. Cosmetic plastic surgery procedures can reshape your deformities and balance. Young people should wait until their growth period, which normally occurs from ages 14 to 15 for girls and slightly more for the boys. Minor changes to your nose shape may cause an overall imbalanced appearance. It is better to consider facial procedures to achieve proportion and balance.

Primary rhinoplasty procedures can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Rhinoplasty normally takes one to three hours depending on the nose area to be reshaped. Secondary rhinoplasty procedure is performed to correct the problems developed after the first surgery. The problems may be minor or it can be easily corrected, but the secondary rhinoplasty takes more time compared to the primary rhinoplasty. The aim of secondary rhinoplasty is to reconstruct the nasal framework. It is necessary to reshape and reconstruct the supporting framework of bone and cartilage.

Secondary rhinoplasty can take more time and cost, compared to primary rhinoplasty. The cost also depends on the number of grafts used to reshape the nasal framework. Secondary rhinoplasty is normally performed under general anesthesia at out patient surgery facility or hospitals.

There are two types of rhinoplasty procedures known as open and closed rhinoplasty. In open rhinoplasty, incisions are not made inside the nose and are made in the vertical strip separating the nostrils. This complex procedure, used for major nose reshaping, is often referred as open rhinoplasty. Closed rhinoplasty procedures are used for minor reshaping of your nose and the incisions are made inside the nose. Nose skin is separated from the cartilage and bone. Once exposed, cartilage and bone can be reshaped, removed, rearranged or augmented to achieve the desired shape of your nose.

The nose area will be puffy and bruised after the surgery. Soft puffy materials are used along the nasal air passages to maintain the structure of the nose. An external splint is worn for 6-8 days to maintain its new shape. This also helps in providing additional protection required during the healing process. The splint is removed after two weeks. You should always consult a renowned cosmetic surgeon for rhinoplasty surgeries. Cosmetic surgery procedures help you to enhance your appearance. It gives you self esteem and confidence.

Post operative care includes pain medication to reduce discomfort, swelling and elevating your head for 24 hours. Most of the bruising and swelling should disappear within seven days of your surgery. Limited bleeding may be experienced by you during the first few days. There will be some internal swelling within your nose for several months, which is even difficult for others to notice.
