Nose correction (rhinoplasty)
Rhinoplasty
is a nose surgery which improves appearance and proportion of
patient’s nose. It can also correct problems with breathing.
The
best candidates for undergoing the surgery are women after nose
injuries, problems with breathing / deviated septum, have
disproportions in: nose size, width, profile (for example have hump),
tip, nostrils or have nasal asymmetry.
Depending on a patient’s needs during the surgery gristle
part or/and bone part of the nose may be corrected. During direct
assessment a plastic surgeon makes a decision about the method of
performing the surgery. Depending on a complexity of the work to
perform, the procedure can be provided under general or local
anaesthesia. If the surgery is performed under local anaesthesia a
patient can leave the clinic even on the day of the surgery. Whereas in
case of general anaesthesia at least 2-3 days stay in the clinic after
the surgery is recommended. After the procedure patient has to wear a
special bandage which secures the nose (for about 7-10 days after the
surgery), also during the surgery plastic surgeon places for first 2-3
days special tampons in the nose.
After
the surgery bruising and swelling
may occur, it can get worse
during first few weeks after the surgery. On the first day after the
procedure a patient has to stay in bed with head lifted up. Cold
compresses reduce the swellings and hematomas. For the next three
months a patient should avoid any kind of injuries, as well as
excessive warming (including sauna, sun, solarium) or
cooling. Each patient receives detailed information
concerning further individual proceedings. The healing of the nose
takes even up to one year but the results are long-lasting.
Each
surgery carries a risk. In case of
rhinoplasty there is a risk of
infection, excessive bleeding, creation of scars and hematomas.
Reduction of sensitivity of nose and upper lip is possible, but usually
it disappears after several weeks. On the site of bone incisions, the
superstructure of bone tissue and excessive bulging of a nose are
possible. Each patient is informed about all risks and complications
during the direct consultation with a plastic surgeon.
The surgery enhances facial harmony and self-confidence.
