Rhinoplasty Surgery: To Know All About Procedures | Updated 2023

 

Due to the prominent placement on the face, the nose significantly contributes to the attractiveness and overall beauty of the face. A crooked or malformed nose diverts attention from one's personality while one with a symmetrical and proportionate nose enhances it.

Rhinoplasty, often known as nose reshaping surgery, refers to a range of procedures done to enhance the proportions of the nose and repair abnormalities. The rhinoplasty procedure helps to treat post-traumatic abnormalities (nasal injury), internal valve collapse, nasal breadth, crooked nose, noticeable nasal tip, and nasal tip.

Who is an ideal candidate for Rhinoplasty?

• The best method to determine if one is a good candidate for rhinoplasty is to schedule a consultation with the surgeon for the following:
• Unhappy with their nose's look, size, shape, and angle
• The nose is shaped poorly, crooked, and out of alignment
• Seeking to improve a nasal bulge, as well as a drooping or raised nasal tip
• Suffering from birth abnormalities and breathing problems
• Desiring to improve the shape of their nose
• Being honest with oneself when anticipating the procedure
• Not experiencing body dysmorphic disorder

 

Note: Hemophiliacs are not thought to be the best candidates for this surgery.

 

What are the types of Rhinoplasty?

 

Every nose job is different. Each person wanting a nose job has unique requirements and goals. The different types of rhinoplasty include: 

• Closed: Due to the fact that all incisions are concealed inside the nose, it is the most common type of Rhinoplasty. The required adjustments are made to the anatomy of the nose by lifting the soft tissue in the nose to make the bones and cartilage visible. It consists of minimal structural changes.
• Open: The surgeon begins by making incisions in the columella, a region beneath the nose between the nostrils. As a result, the tissue from a significant portion of the nose is cut. Patients who require substantial grafting frequently choose this kind of surgery.
• Filler: This kind of non-surgical rhinoplasty is less common. For those who want to fix a tiny flaw in their nose, this kind of rhinoplasty is ideal. The filler helps to correct or cover up minor flaws in the nose. It's quick and non-intrusive.
• Revision: After an initial nose job, this form of intervention is performed. If a patient is unhappy with the results obtained from the rhinoplasty procedure, they might elect to have a revision.

 

What happens during the Rhinoplasty procedure?

• In order to ensure the patient's comfort during the procedure, anesthesia is given. The incision is performed after numbing the area. This allows the surgeon to reach the bones and cartilage that give the nose its shape and support. 
• The bone or cartilage inside the nose is changed in the following phase, which helps to either lengthen or shorten the nose and reduce or enhance the nose shape. 
• To add volume to the desired nose area, tissue grafts and fillers are also applied. Monitors are used during surgery to measure pulse rate, blood pressure, heart beat, and the quantity of oxygen flowing through the patient's blood. 
• Following surgery, a nostril splint is worn over the nose to offer support, cover it from disturbances, protect it while sleeping, and provide support.

 

After the Procedure:  

• Stop smoking for a minimum of 4-6 weeks following surgery as this aids in quicker recovery.
• Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications that can increase bleeding risk
• Stay hydrated.
• Rest is a must.
• Eat a fluid-rich diet and avoid putting any strain on the nose.
• Avoid chewing gum, and use a soft brush.
• Avoid taking showers and keep the area that has been treated away from heat.
• Avert excessive facial expressions.
• To obtain a more defined chin profile, rhinoplasty frequently includes chin augmentation surgery.

 

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

• By correcting the dimensions of the nose, surgery not only improves face harmony but also boosts confidence.
• Eliminates headaches, deviated septum, sinus issues, snoring, and persistent nasal congestion.
• The corrections that one is unable to achieve during the initial rhinoplasty surgery can be made with the aid of revision rhinoplasty.
• In those with birth deformities, it helps them breathe better.  The fractured nose is also fixed during this procedure.
• Reduces the bridge and tip of the nose.
