RHINOPLASTY.
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure performed to make aesthetic or functional changes to the shape of the nose. This operation can be done to improve the appearance of the nose and to correct breathing functions.
Through rhinoplasty, we can change the size and shape of the nose, correct bumps on the bridge, address issues with the nasal tip, or adjust the size of the nostrils. Additionally, we can correct a deviated septum inside the nose, thus making breathing easier.
There are three types of rhinoplasty:
• Open Rhinoplasty: This method involves lifting a portion of the nasal skin to provide better visibility of the nasal structure.
• Closed Rhinoplasty: This technique is performed through small incisions inside the nose, leaving no visible scars and typically involves a shorter recovery time.
• Revision Rhinoplasty: This corrective procedure is performed when the desired outcome is not achieved after a previous rhinoplasty operation.
The recovery process after rhinoplasty varies from patient to patient and can take several weeks. The post-rhinoplasty period is critical for the success of the operation and the maintenance of long-term results. The care and precautions taken during this period can significantly impact the patient’s quality of life.
