Surgery Methods

Nose cosmetic surgery in fact is shaping the nose.

Nose cosmetic surgery in fact is shaping the nose. In this surgery, small incisions are done to access the supporting bones and cartilage in the nose. These incisions are done on non-visible areas of the nose, but in some case minor incisions are done on nostril to make smaller openings. Then varying amounts of bone and cartilage are removed or added to create a new shape. Nose tissues will be moved aside, and the incisions will be made for reconstruction. A frame or plaster will be placed on the nose to help give it a new shape. Additionally, the nose may be padded inside for 12-24 hours to support nasal tissues involved in breathing. Normal nose cosmetic surgery lasts one to two hours, depending on its purpose. Based on patient preference, surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia .

Nose Design

In all cosmetic surgeries, the goal is to obtain a natural appearance. The purpose of this surgery is to make the nose beautiful in such a way as to be harmonious with the rest of the face. This can mean changes in nose size, removing a bump, change in the shape of the nose tip and bridge, reducing the nostrils, or angle change between the nose and upper lip. Skin type, race, and age are factors that determine the results of surgery and the new form and appearance of the nose. Before the surgery, young patients should be in their final stages of growth (females 15-16, males fully 17). Of course there are some exceptions, for example, patients with a severe breathing obstruction. In order to obtain anesthetically pleasing facial features in some patients, it is better to enlarge the jaw along with rhinoplasty.

Dangers and Side Effects

Rarely, as in other surgeries there may be dangers or unexpected side effects. You can help to reduce the dangers. It is important that your surgeon be informed of any drug use. A plaster frame is placed in your nose at least for 3-8 days after surgery. A tampon may be placed inside the nose based on patient preference to absorb the post-surgical discharge. The tampon in your nose will be removed the day after surgery.
