Nasal rhinoplasty involves improving the shape and / or removing defects in the tip of the nose. Depending on the anatomical features and the desired outcome, the operation may require treatment of cartilage, soft tissues and columella.
Thanks to rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose, you can change:
- The thickness of the area above the tip of the nose
- Protrusion of the tip (distance from the face)
- Tip projection (angle between the upper lip and the tip of the nose)
- Condition of the nasal septum
Nose tip surgery is more complicated than it seems at first glance. The surgeon must plan his actions very carefully - otherwise the result may be the exact opposite of expectations.
The bone and cartilage structure of the tip of the nose significantly affects its appearance. An unsuccessful intervention can lead not only to the shape of the tip, but also to the shape of the entire nose.
How is rhinoplasty done?
The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia and lasts from 1 to 2-3 hours. It is difficult to distinguish any typical points in nasal plastic surgery - almost every operation is unique in its own way.
In different cases, the same tasks facing the surgeon will be solved differently - based on the anatomical structure of the nose, the thickness and shape of the cartilage, the strength of the tissues and other individual characteristics of the patient.
The process of preparation and recovery after surgery is not much different from ordinary rhinoplasty. It is necessary to give up smoking and a number of drugs that affect blood clotting and suture healing, as well as undergo a medical examination to determine possible contraindications.
In the first days after rhinoplasty, there may be swelling, bruising and pain. Recovery after surgery takes about 1-2 weeks, after which it is recommended to protect the nose from physical impact and high blood pressure for another 2-3 weeks (especially to limit exercise).
How much is rhinoplasty
The cost of surgery depends on the nature of the changes, the doctor's qualifications and the reputation of the clinic, as well as a number of other factors.
