What should I not expect from the Rhinoplasty surgery?

Even though it will make your face look more beautiful and harmonious, and it will probably also improve your self-esteem, it will not be enough to make you look perfect. One should be realistic in his or her expectations from the cosmetic surgery.

Am I a Good Candidate for RHINOPLASTY?

If you have one or more of the following problems, you require Rhinoplasty :

• Nasal airway obstruction that impairs breathing
• Crooked/deformed nose
• Cosmetically unacceptable nose

How is Rhinoplasty done?

The procedure of Rhinoplasty takes about 1 - 2 hours. The procedure can be done either under local or general anesthesia depending on the choice of patient and the preference of surgeon. If done under general anesthesia, a stay of one night is required at the hospital or the patient can go home the same day if done under local anesthesia.

Incisions for Rhinoplasty are made depending on the reshaping job that needs to be performed. The skin of the nose is separated from it's underlying bone and cartilage which are cut and trimmed to obtain the desired results. The skin is then re-draped over the bone and cartilage. Incision(s) is sutured and nose packs are placed to minimize the chances of bleeding.

Broadly there are four different types of Rhinoplasty procedure based on the procedure and the requirement of the patient:

Reduction Rhinoplasty:
Bone or cartilage are removed in an effort to change the shape of the nose.

Augmentation Rhinoplasty:
Enhances the nose by adding cartilage, bone, or implant material when nasal deficiency (loss of structure) is encountered.

Closed Rhinoplasty:
Improves the contour of the nose by making the incisions inside the nose and removing, shaving or repositioning the cartilage and bone.

Open Rhinoplasty:
Improves the contour of the nose by making the incisions inside the nose along the nostrils and across the columella(vertical strip), and removing, shaving or repositioning the cartilage and bone

How long is the recovery period after Rhinoplasty and when can I resume my work?

The patient is kept under observation to keep a watch for bleeding or any other post-operative complications that might become manifest in the next couple of hours after Rhinoplasty.

 The patient would generally have a nasal pack that is left in for 48 hours, and a plaster on the nose for 5 to 7 days. Any stitches inside the nose dissolve by themselves. Any stitches left outside the nose are removed in three to five days. The nasal splint remains in place for seven days to hold the nasal bones in place, as well as help reduce swelling.     Swelling and bruising lasts for two to three weeks. One can return to work or school by ten days as well as resume light exercise. Rigorous exercise can be resumed within 6-8 weeks.



What is the outcome of the Rhinoplasty or nose surgery?

The final result of surgery may not be apparent until 3 to 6 months after surgery. Each day, your nose will begin to look better and your attitude will improv e.  Most people end up wishing they had had the surgery earlier! The pain and discomfort associated with the surgery is soon forgotten as the results become more and more evident.
