Rhinoplasty, also known as nose job, is a nasal plastic surgery and an art of reshaping the nose in the most aesthetic way possible and in harmony with the face and style of the person.
Rhinoplasty surgery (nasal plastic plastic) has both aesthetic/cosmetic and functional/health benefits. A typical rhinoplasty surgery mainly focuses on cosmetic results such as improved symmetry, removal of humps and bumps, and adjusted size. Many people also choose to have rhinoplasty surgeries primarily for the treatment of impaired breathing, and to enjoy the positive aesthetic results as a “bonus”. A rhinoplasty surgery can significantly enhance your life quality by solving your breathing problems and difficulties. This is mainly done by readjusting the size and shape of nostrils, which gives you healthier breathing and more productive sleep.
Rhinoplasty is widely considered as one of the complex cosmetic surgeries. The procedure is mostly conducted under general anaesthesia. This technique is widely accepted to be comfortable, effective and unharmful if done in a professional way. Rhinoplasty surgery mainly involves removal of bone or cartilage, and/or addition of cartilage to reshape the nose in the ideal, desired way. Modern rhinoplasty surgeries are conducted either through a “closed procedure” or an “open procedure”. While open procedure includes incisions inside the nose only, the closed procedure involves incision across the columella (the part of the nose separating the nostrils). In either scenario, the patient does not have much visible scars from outside, except few stitches on the columella.
After the surgery, the swelling and bruising on the face starts disappearing after third day. Silicone fillers are removed in 3 to 7 days, and everything becomes much easier. Patients are recommended to rest for up to 2 weeks before they go back to work. And certain sports / exercises should be avoided for a month or more. Moderate bruising, bleeding and swelling are common in the first days after the procedure. The effects and durations can be minimised by getting the right medications/products, using the practical tips your doctor will give you, and adjusting your lifestyle for several weeks. Once you see a demo of the actual result after few days (with less swelling, etc.), you will start enjoying the aftercare process (e.g. applying the cream, daily massage in front of mirror, etc.).
