What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct or eliminate acquired or congenital defects of the nose. Restoring the complete absence of the nose is also a rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is performed not only for aesthetic correction, but also for medical reasons. For example, a curvature of the nasal septum can make breathing difficult or cause snoring during sleep. In these cases, the operation solves this problem.

The main purpose of rhinoplasty is to restore the correct shape of the nose, its cartilage and bone defects. This type of surgery has been known for many centuries. The technique of rhinoplasty is being improved every year. Thanks to modern methods, nowadays you can easily make a perfect nose.

• Disproportionate, in relation to other parts of the face, the size of the nose;

• Aesthetic defects of the nose: wide nostrils, tip asymmetry, hump;

Second Day

On the second day the patient needs to undergo a consultation with a plastic surgeon and an anesthesiologist. If there are no contraindications, an operation is performed on the same day. The duration of the operation depends on the reason for its performing, but does not exceed two hours. Minor correction of the nose lasts 30-40 minutes. In most cases, rhinoplasty is not a complex surgical intervention, therefore it does not require long-term medical training. As a rule, 2-3 hours after surgery, patients can independently take food and perform hygiene procedures.

Performing Rhinoplasty

The method of rhinoplasty depends on the indications for its performing. There are open and closed surgical interventions. The open method is performed using an external incision of the skin. The closed method involves intervention through the mucous membrane in the nostrils.

External incisions are not carried out, so the external restoration of the face will be faster. All incisions are sewn up with neat cosmetic stitches, which after healing do not leave traces on the patient`s face.

There is also a method of structural rhinoplasty. To do this, the doctor makes a bone fracture or forms a rigid structure from cartilage tissue that firmly holds the nasal shape. In this case, it is necessary to apply a plaster splint.

The doctor will be able to determine the method of future rhinoplasty during the preoperative consultation.

Regardless of the chosen method of operation, the whole procedure is performed under anesthesia. It can be a drug-induced sleep or local anesthesia. In any case, the patient will not feel pain. During the operation, the presence of an anesthesiologist is necessarily.
