Rhinoplasty

how is a rhinoplasty performed

Rhinoplasty is an operation that allows you to correct the shape and size of the nostrils, the tip of the nose and the bridge of the nose. The operation can be performed by open and closed procedures.

Why is a rhinoplasty necessary?

The operation is associated with the correction of breathing, but the main task of rhinoplasty is a beautiful nose, namely:

  • Correction of a birth defect
  • Removal of the nasal hump
  • bridge straightening
  • Change in shape of the tip of the nose
  • Changing the size of the nostrils
  • Correction of the nose after an injury
  • opening of the airways
  • Enlargement or reduction of the nose
  • Correction of nasal asymmetry

Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty: What's the Difference?

Rhinoplasty is an operation to change the shape of the nose. Because breathing and the shape of the nose are related, sometimes a rhinoplasty can be performed to not only change the appearance of the nose but also improve breathing.

Septoplasty is surgery to improve breathing by straightening the wall in the nose that separates the right and left nasal passages (nasal septum). When the septum is curved, it makes breathing difficult. Septoplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty.

How is a rhinoplasty performed?

Rhinoplasty can be done open or closed. The type of operation is determined individually, depending on the patient's nasal defect.

The closed operation is performed through internal incisions.

Advantages:

  • Leaves no visible scars
  • Does not hurt the skin between the nostrils
  • Allows complex work with the inner tissues of the nose.

It is carried out in 6 stages:

  1. You will be given anesthesia.
  2. Incisions are made in the nasal passages. The number and size of incisions depends on what needs to be fixed.
  3. The doctor works with the structures of the nose to achieve the desired result.
  4. The doctor puts all the tissues back in place and stitches.
  5. The doctor fixes the nose with a plaster cast.
  6. After the operation you will be escorted to the recovery room.
Open surgery is performed through an incision on the outside, at the narrowest part of the nose.

Advantages:

  • All of the cartilage is exposed, allowing the surgeon to freely correct high, wide or flat nasal bridges, asymmetries, indentations and bumps in the nose.
  • The ability to remove and move pieces of bone or cartilage and insert nasal implants.
  • Invisible scar.

It is carried out in 6 stages:

  1. The operation can be performed under local or general anesthesia. For example, a tip rhinoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia, while a full rhinoplasty can be performed under general anesthesia.
  2. An incision is made between the nostrils (columella).
  3. The doctor examines the nose, cartilage and bone structure and then makes the necessary correction.
  4. The doctor applies a thin suture. Fine sewing allows you to get an almost imperceptible scar.
  5. The doctor applies a plaster cast.
  6. After the operation you will be escorted to the recovery room.

Open or closed nose surgery usually takes between 15 and 45 minutes.

During the consultation, the doctor will inform you about possible complications after a nose job.

After surgery, your doctor may recommend you avoid the following:
  • Running and other strenuous exercise
  • Bathe
  • clean the nose
  • excessive chewing
  • pull clothes over head
  • wear glasses on your nose
  • vigorous tooth brushing

It is important (! ) to be careful with sun exposure. Too much sun can permanently discolor the skin around your nose.

How to prepare for a nose job?

  1. Sign up for a consultation.
  2. You will meet with your surgeon and discuss the possibility of surgery and the need for additional surgeries, such as changing the shape of the chin.
  3. At the consultation, a plastic surgeon makes a computer simulation. This way you can see the approximate result of the rhinoplasty.
  4. They do tests and come to the clinic on the agreed day.
  5. Ibuprofen and aspirin should be avoided before and after surgery. These medicines slow down the clotting process and can cause bleeding.
  6. We recommend quitting smoking for the period of surgery and rehabilitation. Nicotine constricts your blood vessels, causing less oxygen and blood to reach your tissues. Quitting smoking will speed up the healing of your nose.
