What are the types Rhinoplasty?

The surgery can sometimes be done through incisions made inside the nose (closed rhinoplasty). This will keep the scars from being noticed. Other times, incisions may be needed at the base of the nose (open rhinoplasty). This may leave small scars, but they typically can’t be noticed.

What happens during the procedure?

Patient will be given a medicine to fall asleep (general anesthetic) and patient may also be given a medicine to relax (sedative).

Incisions is made inside the nostrils or on the skin between the nostrils. The surgeon will then reshape the cartilage, bone and the tissue that helps to form your nose.

A piece of your cartilage or bone may be used to strengthen or improve the build of your nose, or to improve breathing or help your nose look better. The surgeon may also use cartilage from the wall that divides the nostrils inside your nose (septum) Or cartilage may be taken from your ear or rib.

Implants (synthetic) may also be used to rebuild your nose if the normal structure is very damaged or weak. This is rare.

May reshape the septum or remove a part of the cartilage or bone of the septum. This is called septoplasty. This helps to improve nasal breathing. The cartilage that’s removed could also be used to make your nose and its framework look better.

To finish the surgery, the surgeon will close incisions with stitches (sutures) which will dissolve safely into your body. These will not need to be removed.
May place a nasal splint in your nostrils. An aluminum splint could also be put over your nose to guard it.

What are the risks?

Generally, this is a safe procedure. However, problems may occur and are temporary including:
  • Swelling and bruising.
  • Bleeding.
  • Blocked nasal breathing (airway obstruction)
  • Numbness
  • Infection

The bruises & swelling will diminish in about 2-3 weeks and the nose will get softer over a few months and get back to normal. Within 3 weeks, you can start practicing light sports, but it is recommended to resume heavy exercises only after a month and consulting your surgeon.
