Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose surgery, is a cosmetic and functional procedure designed to reshape, resize, or improve the appearance of the nose. It can also correct breathing difficulties caused by structural issues.

🔹 What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can address aesthetic concerns such as a hump, drooping tip, wide nose, or asymmetry. It is also performed for medical reasons, including a deviated septum, nasal trauma, or congenital defects. Procedures can be open (incision across the columella) or closed (incisions inside the nostrils), depending on the complexity.

🔹 How the Procedure Works

1. Consultation & Planning – The surgeon evaluates nasal anatomy, facial balance, and discusses patient goals.
2. Anesthesia – Performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation.
3. Incisions & Reshaping – Bones and cartilage are carefully modified to achieve the desired shape and function.
4. Closure & Splinting – Incisions are sutured, and a nasal splint or internal packing is applied to support healing.
5. Post-Operative Care – Patients receive instructions for swelling management, hygiene, and activity restrictions.

🔹 Key Benefits of Rhinoplasty

• Improves Aesthetics – Creates a balanced, proportionate, and attractive nose.
• Corrects Structural Issues – Fixes breathing problems and deviated septum.
• Customizable – Tailored to patient preferences and facial structure.
• Boosts Confidence – Enhances facial harmony and self-esteem.
• Long-Lasting Results – Final shape is stable and durable once healing is complete.

🔹 Possible Drawbacks

• Surgical Risks – Includes swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, or asymmetry.
• Recovery Period – Nose may remain swollen for weeks; minor adjustments may be needed.
• Cost – Rhinoplasty can be expensive due to surgical complexity and anesthesia.
• Revision Surgery – In some cases, a secondary procedure may be required.

🔹 Recovery & Results

• Splint and nasal packing are usually removed within 1 week.
• Swelling and bruising typically improve within 2–4 weeks, though minor swelling may persist for months.
• Final results are visible after 6–12 months once tissues fully heal.
• Following post-operative care instructions is crucial for optimal results.
