Nose surgery, also known as rhinoplasty, is the most common plastic surgery procedure performed today. Patients may decide to undergo treatment to improve nose shape and proportion in relation to other facial features. Rhinoplasty can also correct chronic congestion or breathing problems.
Specific issues addressed with rhinoplasty include:
• Size
• Angle in relation to the upper lip
• Alter the tip
• Correct bumps
• Correct indentations
• Correct other nasal defects
The best rhinoplasty candidate has realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure. Your consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon is an excellent opportunity to discuss your expectations and goals, and gather the facts needed to make an informed decision to determine if rhinoplasty is right for you.
Rhinoplasty Points to Consider
Most rhinoplasties are performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Your case may be different, and your cosmetic surgeon will discuss these issues with you.
Nose surgery is permanent. The postoperative healing period will include:
• Surgical packing removed about 2 days after surgery
• A nose splint worn for approximately a week
• Icepacks for swelling
You can also expect that:
• Your face will be puffy for a brief period
• You may have significant bruising around eyes and nose
• Swelling and bruising may last up to 2 weeks
• Head elevation and keeping your head still are required for a few days
• Strenuous activity may be banned for several weeks
Most rhinoplasty patients are thrilled with the outcome of their surgery and enjoy the physical and emotional changes that come with improved self-confidence.
