In rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose, the shape is improved and/or defects at the tip of the nose are eliminated. Depending on the anatomy and the desired outcome, the surgery may require treatment of the cartilage, soft tissue, and columella.
Thanks to nose tip rhinoplasty, you can change:
- The thickness of the area above the tip of the nose
- Tip protrusion (the distance from the face)
- Tip projection (angle between upper lip and tip of nose)
- The position of the nasal septum
Nose tip surgery is much more complicated than it might appear at first glance. The surgeon must plan his actions very precisely - otherwise the result can directly contradict expectations.
The bone and cartilage structure of the tip of the nose has a significant impact on its appearance. An unsuccessful procedure can lead to distortion not only of the tip of the nose, but also of the shape of the nose as a whole.
How is a nasal tip correction performed?
The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia and takes 1 to 2-3 hours. It is difficult to single out typical moments in rhinoplasty - almost every operation is unique in its own way.
The same tasks that the surgeon faces in different cases are solved differently - based on the anatomical structure of the nose, the thickness and shape of the cartilage, the strength of the tissue and other individual characteristics of the patient.
The process of preparation and recovery after surgery is not much different from conventional rhinoplasty. It is necessary to give up smoking in advance and a number of drugs that affect blood clotting and suture healing, as well as undergo a medical examination to determine possible contraindications.
Swelling, bruising and pain may occur in the first few days after rhinoplasty. Recovery after the operation takes about 1-2 weeks, after which it is advisable to protect the nose from physical influences and high blood pressure for another 2-3 weeks (especially limit sports),
How much does a nose job cost
The prices for the operation depend on the nature of the changes, the doctor's qualifications and the prestige of the clinic, as well as a number of other factors.
