Nasal tip rhinoplasty consists of improving the shape and/or eliminating defects in the tip of the nose. Depending on the anatomical characteristics and the desired result, the operation may require the treatment of cartilage, soft tissues and columella.
Thanks to rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose, you can change:
- The thickness of the area above the tip of the nose.
- Tip protrusion (how far it is from the face)
- Tip projection (the angle between the upper lip and the tip of the nose)
- The position of the nasal septum.
Nasal tip surgery is much more complicated than it might seem at first glance. The surgeon needs to plan his actions very precisely; otherwise, the result may be directly opposite of expectations.
The bone and cartilaginous structure of the tip of the nose has a significant impact on its appearance. An unsuccessful intervention can lead to distortion not only of the shape of the tip, but also of the shape of the entire nose.
How is rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose performed?
The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia and lasts from 1 to 2-3 hours. It is difficult to single out any typical moment in plastic surgery of the tip of the nose; almost every trade is unique in its own way.
The same tasks that the surgeon faces in different cases will be solved differently, depending on the anatomical structure of the nose, the thickness and shape of the cartilage, the strength of the tissues and other individual characteristics of the patient.
The preparation and recovery process after surgery is not much different from conventional rhinoplasty. It is necessary to quit smoking in advance and a number of drugs that affect blood coagulation and healing of sutures, as well as undergo a medical examination to identify possible contraindications.
In the first few days after rhinoplasty, swelling, bruising, and pain may occur. Recovery after surgery takes about 1-2 weeks, after which it is advisable to protect the nose from physical influences and high blood pressure for another 2-3 weeks (in particular, limit sports),
how much does rhinoplasty cost
The prices for the operation depend on the nature of the changes, the qualifications of the doctor and the prestige of the clinic, as well as a number of other factors.
