Rhinoplasty Surgery India
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty or Nasal surgery is a surgical procedure to refine and reshape your nose to improve it's appearance. Rhinoplasty may also be performed to reduce the dorsal hump, modify the nasal tip, narrow the nostrils, reduce the width of the nose, change the angle between the nose and the upper lip, and straighten or narrow the nasal bridge.
Patients undergo nasal surgery for one of three reasons:
- To correct a crooked nose or deformity as a result of injury
- Have difficulty breathing as a result of nasal passage obstruction
- For cosmetic reasons (to enhance the shape of their nose).
Rhinoplasty is sometimes performed in conjunction with a Face Lift procedure to combat aging changes.
Will Rhinoplasty help me with breathing problem?
No, there is a special procedure called Septoplasty for that. Septoplasty is a nasal operation that is used to straighten or reshape the septum. It is performed on patients who have difficulty breathing as a result of a mal-positioned septum. Septoplasty will not change the shape of the nose, and can be performed alone or in addition to Rhinoplasty. Turbinate Surgery is nasal surgery that is used to improve breathing by opening the nasal air passages. It does not change the shape of the nose.
How do I know if I require Rhinoplasty?
If you have one or more of the following problems, you require Rhinoplasty:
Nasal airway obstruction that impairs breathing
Crooked/deformed nose
Cosmetically unacceptable nose
What are different types of Rhinoplasty procedure?
Reduction Rhinoplasty:
Bone or cartilage are removed in an effort to change the shape of the nose.
Augmentation Rhinoplasty:
s
Enhances the nose by adding cartilage, bone, or implant material when nasal deficiency (loss of structure) is encountered.
Closed Rhinoplasty:
Improves the contour of the nose by making the incisions inside the nose and removing, shaving or repositioning the cartilage and bone.
Open Rhinoplasty:
Improves the contour of the nose by making the incisions inside the nose along the nostrils and across the columella(vertical strip), and removing, shaving or repositioning the cartilage and bone
How is Rhinoplasty done?
The procedure of Rhinoplasty takes about 1 - 2 hours. Rhinoplasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis.
Incisions for Rhinoplasty are made depending on the reshaping job that needs to be performed. The skin of the nose is separated from it's underlying bone and cartilage which are cut and trimmed to obtain the desired results. The skin is then re-draped over the bone and cartilage. Incision(s) is sutured and nose packs are placed to minimize the chances of bleeding.
What is the after care and how long is the recover period?
The patient is kept under observation to keep a watch for bleeding or any other post-operative complications that might become manifest in the next couple of hours after Rhinoplasty. Nasal packing (if used) stays in the nostrils for one to seven days. Any stitches inside the nose dissolve by themselves. Any stitches left outside the nose are removed in three to five days. The nasal splint remains in place for seven days to hold the nasal bones in place, as well as help reduce swelling
Swelling and bruising lasts for two to three weeks. One can return to work or school by ten days as well as resume light exercise. Rigorous exercise can be resumed within 6-8 weeks.
What are the risks associated with Face Lift surgery?
There are very rare chances of any complication and the risks associated with face lift surgery are same as that with any surgical procedure which includes bleeding, infection, scarring, damage to deeper structures, asymmetry, nerve injury, improper healing, numbness, allergic reactions, and risks and complications associated with anesthesia. Although complications can occur, they are rare.
Smokers have a greater risk of skin loss, pulmonary, and wound healing complications.
