Do you feel embarrassed about your nose appearance? Would you like to enhance the proportions of your nose, improving your facial harmony? Or do you suffer from breathing problems resulting from congenital disabilities, looking for a permanent solution that can enable you to breathe normally?
Rhinoplasty is your ideal solution that can reshape your nose and treat your impaired breathing effectively! But what do you know about Rhinoplasty? Let’s learn about it briefly!
Rhinoplasty or “nose job” is a plastic surgery that improves your nose’s appearance or corrects its function due to congenital malformation or trauma by adjusting the cartilage, septum, tip, and nostrils.
The operation is usually undergone through two common types of operations which both require general anesthesia:
- Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty is a common procedure for patients having minor nose concerns. It is an effective method for removing lumps or bumps or thinning the nose.
Closed rhinoplasty usually takes less time and requires a short period for recovery. In this surgery, the incisions are made inside the nostrils between the upper and lower cartilage, so the patient will have no visible scars.
- Open Rhinoplasty
When it comes to nose correction, open Rhinoplasty can be a powerful procedure, especially for patients who have obvious disfigurement and need significant changes to the size or shape of their nose.
The incisions are made externally at the base of the columella, then the skin will be elevated, allowing more access to the nasal structures. Since an open nose job is more invasive, the recovery time might be longer than the closed surgery, and small scars on the outer rim of the nose will be visible as well.
Are you the right candidate for Rhinoplasty?
You might be a good candidate for Rhinoplasty if:
- You are older than 18 years old,
- Your facial growth is complete,
- You are in good health,
- You suffer from a deviated septum,
- You have breathing problems,
- You suffer from malformations due to congenital disabilities,
- You have disfigurement resulting from trauma,
- You have diseases that might cause nose deformities, such as smallpox and leprosy.
What are the post-instructions of Rhinoplasty you should follow?
Here are some necessary tips that you should consider after your Rhinoplasty:
- Take or apply the medicines prescribed by your doctor regularly, which help you avoid infection and control pain.
- Don’t blow your nose for two weeks.
- Keep your head up for a few weeks after the operation.
- Use cold water to compress your eyes and nose, which helps you reduce the swelling.
- Avoid strenuous activities until your wound is fully recovered.
- Stay away from the sun for six weeks after your surgery.
