Rhinoplasty is one of the most common surgeries in the world. It involves improving the shape of the nasal bone to suit the dimensions and shape of the entire face, whether for cosmetic purposes or health purposes such as difficulty breathing. You must be fully aware of the benefits and consequences of the surgery.
what is Rhinoplasty?
It is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the nose in a way that suits the shape and dimensions of the face. It may be for cosmetic or health purposes. It is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries around the world, as it enhances a person’s confidence in his appearance and looks.
What are the reasons for rhinoplasty?
Reasons for cosmetic purposes:
- Enlarge the nose if it is too small
- Shorten the nose if it is too large
- Changing the angle of the nose in relation to the upper lip
- Correcting the shape of the tip of the nose
- Correcting the curves in the nasal bone itself by manipulating the skin covering the nose, cartilage or bones
Reasons for health purposes:
- The presence of congenital defects that hinder the process of breathing normally or cause a sound
- A fracture in the nose for any reason
- Enlargement of the sebaceous glands, which causes an abnormal enlargement of the nose
what are the types of Rhinoplasty?
- Nasal reconstruction
It is done in cases where the patient loses his nose completely or there is a major deformity in the nasal bones due to an accident or cancerous diseases, where he needs to add bones or cartilage to restructure the nose again. In this procedure, the bones or cartilage are taken from the person’s body, whether from the pelvic bones or the earlobe, while the skin is taken from the abdomen or extremities. Silicone can also be used as an artificial material, or if the operation is impossible, we install an artificial nose.
- Nose Reduction:
It is the most common rhinoplasty procedure to reduce the size of the nose and make it look better to improve the psychological state and self-confidence. It is usually done under local or general anesthesia according to the assessment of the case.
- Septoplasty
It is a procedure to treat a deviated nasal septum that may affect breathing and thus cause headaches or sinusitis for the patient. It is also a result of a person being exposed to a strong blow or congenital defects with which he was born.
- Rhinoplasty with threads
Two types of threads are used for rhinoplasty, which are polydioxanone or polycaprolactone. These are very thin threads used to suture tissues inside the nose to rejuvenate them without risks. It is characterized by not requiring surgery and the patient gets an immediate result. It may only take half an hour. It is also characterized by being painless.
- Closed rhinoplasty
The doctor makes incisions inside the nose, which means less swelling and less scarring, and thus a faster recovery period.
- Rhinoplasty Open
The surgeon makes external incisions in addition to internal incisions, which allows him to completely manipulate the shape of the nose and restructure it, thus giving greater results.
What is laser rhinoplasty?
With the great medical development, it has become possible to perform a rhinoplasty with a laser only without surgical intervention, and the patient can also leave the same day after four or five hours without putting a wick in the wound. It is usually done by targeting only the part to be changed, as the laser allows the possibility of polishing the cartilage and bones to be modified and changing their shape, and thus fewer complications and results that are also closer to the natural shape.
What is a rhinoplasty with fillers?
It is a rhinoplasty by filling with fillers, where tissues and spaces are filled or defects are corrected by injecting fillers, but this technique requires refilling again after a period of time.
Are there side effects after a rhinoplasty?
Yes, the patient may experience some complications such as congestion, bleeding or infection. These symptoms usually disappear after two weeks of the operation, but you should also listen to the doctor’s instructions, which include taking painkillers, avoiding smoking and avoiding crowded places to avoid catching a cold. He also recommends resting, keeping the head elevated when sleeping, avoiding lying on one side only, and placing cold compresses on the nose, face and under the eyes to avoid cyanosis.
Rhinoplasty depends entirely on the surgeon’s skill and the type of technique used, in addition to the patient’s health condition.
