How is the Procedure Done?
Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
Incisions
The surgeon makes discreet incisions either inside the nostrils (closed Rhinoplasty) or across the columella (open Rhinoplasty) to access the underlying nasal structures.
Tissue Manipulation
Cartilage and bone may be reshaped, removed, or augmented to achieve the desired nasal contour and symmetry.
Closure
Once the necessary adjustments have been made, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures.
Recovery Time
- Swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes, gradually subsiding over a few weeks.
- Post-operative care including wearing a nasal splint and avoiding strenuous activities.
- Return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks.
- Strenuous exercise and contact sports should be avoided for several weeks.
Risk Factors
- Infection at the incision sites.
- Bleeding or hematoma formation.
- Changes in sensation or temporary numbness in the nasal area.
- Unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes, though rare when performed by experienced surgeons.
Combination with Other Procedures
Rhinoplasty can be combined with complementary facial rejuvenation procedures, such as chin augmentation or eyelid surgery, to achieve comprehensive facial enhancement and harmonization.
Preparing for Surgery
- Avoid smoking and certain medications that can increase the risk of complications.
- Arrange for transportation to and from the surgical facility.
- Follow pre-operative instructions provided by your surgeon, including fasting if necessary.
