Rhinoplasty is a procedure that improves the aesthetics and balance of the nose. Today, rhinoplasty has evolved into a highly sophisticated and predictable procedure that addresses both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the nose.
Rhinoplasty is a surgery that reshapes the nose to improve its aesthetic appearance and restore balance to the face. This surgical procedure can correct nose size, shape, width, and profile, and can also improve breathing function.
During the procedure, the surgeon will make incisions inside the nostrils or on the outside of the nose to access the bone and cartilage. Then, they will sculpt and reshape the bone and cartilage to achieve the desired result.
The procedure typically takes 1 to 3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the nose and eyes, which can last for several days to a few weeks. Patients should avoid strenuous physical activities for at least 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure and should follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing.
It’s important to avoid any activities that could cause trauma to the nose during the healing process. Patients should also avoid blowing their nose for the first few days after the procedure to avoid disrupting the healing process. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure.
Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon will be necessary to monitor the healing process and ensure optimal results.
