What is rinoplasty?

rhino (Latin for nose) and plastics (rivers for forming or forming) is a medical procedure that transforms the nose for cosmetic or reconstruction purposes. This is more often referred to as "nasal work". It can even change the angle between the nose and the upper lip. It can also restore the proper functioning of the nose in case of injury or abnormalities of the nasal cavities. Rhinopastics ensures that the patient is able to breathe both nostrils.

Men and women are rhinos candidates, but most surgeons will warn against the progress for girls under 15 years or boys under 17 years, waiting for full maturity.

Rhinoplasty is performed using one of two techniques: open technique or closed technique. Both techniques include cuts created inside the nostril, but open technique creates a second cut of fleshy skin between nostrils. The skin is separated and modifications are performed on bones and cartilage. Bones can be broken or chisels depending on the desired patient outcome. The cartilage mayt cropped. The nasal passages are then packed and the outer plate is applied. The packages are removed in 24 hours, but the splint is worn for about a week. The operation usually lasts 1-2 hours and can be performed under general or local anesthesia.

post-op bruises and swelling around the nose and eyes are normal and culminate about three days after the operation, which lasts a total of 2-3 weeks. Other temporary side effects may be matte headache, sore nose or dullness of certain areas on the nose. If the bones have been broken, the recovery will take longer.

Most people who have undergone rhinoplasty return to work after two weeks, giving bruises and swelling time to disappear. It is usually recommended that sports and activities that could result in injury for six weeks or more.

Clear results from rinoplasty can be seen a week after the operation, but the final results will take 4-6 months to fully recover the nose. SecondOperations for minor adjustments are common in 5-10% of patients.
