Rhinoplasty Overview to Get an Insight into the Surgery

The Rhinoplasty surgery deals with the reshaping of the nose. The Rhinoplasty overview will cover the surgical process, its associated risks and the symptoms of the nose disorder. There are some people who are not happy with the shape of their nose or maybe it doesn’t go well with their overall image. So the Rhinoplasty surgery can make their nose big, small or just as they desire. The Rhinoplasty surgery: The objective of the Rhinoplasty surgery is to reshape your nose by increasing, decreasing or changing the angle of your nose to make it better suited with the rest of your face or overall looks. During the Rhinoplasty surgery, incisions are made around the nose for accessing the bones of the nose and the cartilage as well which actually supports the nose. In order to achieve the objectives of the surgery, some part of the cartilage and the nose bone might be removed. Further, if the objectives of the surgery demand to enhance the size and shape of the nose, then the extra tissues might be added to the bones and cartilage of the nose to make it bigger and better in size. A splint is inserted as a support to impose the surgical objectives until the full recovery is achieved. The Rhinoplasty surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Further, the surgery is performed usually as an outpatient. The patient might be made to stay overnight, but only in exceptional cases and it is very rare as well. What to expect after the Rhinoplasty surgery? The bandaging and the splint support might take a week at least to be removed. You will notice considerable swelling and bruises around your nose area where the incisions got stitched with stitches. The patients do have some uncomfortable feeling and some pain as well, which can be controlled by taking painkillers. The first few days also require the patient to keep his head a bit still and also at an elevated position. The full recovery can take about 4 – 6 weeks and after that you can continue your tough working routine.


Risks: The risks with the Rhinoplasty surgical process are the bleeding of the nose from the area which separates your nostrils. Further, some other bruises around the incision areas, bleeding and swelling of the skin can be noticed. Conclusion: The Rhinoplasty overview covers everything associated with the surgical process which can be the procedure itself, its risks, expected results and the need of the surgery.
