Rhinoplasty

how is rhinoplasty done

Rhinoplasty is an operation that corrects the shape and size of the sides of the nose, the tip of the nose, and the bridge of the nose. The operation can be performed by open and closed methods.

Why is rhinoplasty necessary?

The operation is associated with the correction of breathing, however, the main task of rhinoplasty is a beautiful nose, namely:

  • Correction of a birth defect
  • Nasal hump removal
  • bridge straightening
  • Change the shape of the tip of the nose.
  • Change the size of the nostrils
  • Nose correction after injury.
  • Opening of the airways
  • Enlargement or reduction in the size of the nose
  • nose asymmetry correction

Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty: What is the difference?

Rhinoplasty is surgery to change the shape of the nose. Since breathing and the shape of the nose are interrelated, rhinoplasty can sometimes be performed not only to change the appearance of the nose, but also to improve breathing.

Septoplasty is surgery to improve breathing by straightening the inner wall of the nose that separates the nostrils into the right and left sides (the nasal septum). When the septum is curved, it makes breathing difficult. Septoplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty.

How is rhinoplasty performed?

Nose correction surgery can be open or closed. The type of operation is determined individually depending on the nasal defects of the patient.

The closed operation is performed through internal incisions.

Advantage:

  • Does not leave visible scars.
  • Does not damage the skin between the nostrils.
  • It allows you to perform complex work with the internal tissues of the nose.

It is carried out in 6 stages:

  1. They give you anesthesia.
  2. The incisions are made inside the nostrils. The number and size of the incisions depends on what needs to be repaired.
  3. The doctor works with the structures of the nose to obtain the desired result.
  4. The doctor puts all the tissues back in place and the stitches.
  5. The doctor fixes the nose with a plaster bandage.
  6. They accompany you to the recovery room after the operation.
An open operation is performed through an incision on the outside, at the narrowest point of the nose.

Advantage:

  • All cartilage is exposed, allowing the surgeon to freely correct high, wide or flat nasal dorsum, asymmetries, sinking and irregularities of the nose.
  • The ability to remove, move parts of bone or cartilage, install nasal implants.
  • Invisible scar.

It is carried out in 6 stages:

  1. The operation can be performed under local or general anesthesia. For example, a nose tip correction can be performed under local anesthesia, while a full rhinoplasty can be performed under general anesthesia.
  2. An incision is made between the nostrils (columella).
  3. The doctor examines the nose, cartilage and bone structure and then makes the required correction.
  4. The doctor applies a thin suture. Delicate sewing allows you to get an almost imperceptible scar.
  5. The doctor applies a plaster.
  6. They accompany you to the recovery room after the operation.

Open or closed nose surgery usually lasts between 15 and 45 minutes.

The doctor will inform you about the possible complications after rhinoplasty during the consultation.

After surgery, your doctor may recommend that you avoid:
  • running and other strenuous exercises
  • swimming
  • blow your nose
  • excessive chewing
  • pull clothes over head
  • wearing glasses on nose
  • vigorous tooth brushing

It is important (! ) to be careful with sun exposure. Too much sun can permanently discolor the skin around your nose.

Rhinoplasty results: before and after photos

Rhinoplasty is a relatively safe and simple procedure. You will see the result immediately, as soon as the cast is removed. You can fully recover in a few weeks.

It is true that you will be able to evaluate the final result of your operation in about a year.

Is it possible to see how the nose will look after the operation?

Yes. The doctor will show you several views of your face in the photo before the operation.

How to prepare for rhinoplasty?

  1. Sign up for a consultation.
  2. You meet with your surgeon and discuss the possibility of surgery, as well as the need for additional operations, for example, to change the shape of your chin.
  3. In the consultation, a plastic surgeon performs a computer simulation. This allows you to see the approximate result of the rhinoplasty.
  4. You do the tests and on the appointed day you come to the clinic.
  5. Before and after the operation, ibuprofen and aspirin should be avoided. These medicines slow the clotting process and can cause you to bleed.
  6. We recommend quitting smoking during the period of surgery and rehabilitation. Nicotine constricts the blood vessels, causing less oxygen and blood to reach the tissues. Quitting smoking will speed up the healing of the nose.

How much does open and closed rhinoplasty cost?

Conservative rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure, the price of which varies from 120 thousand to 300 thousand rubles, depending on what exactly the patient wants to correct.
