Rhinoplasty is a surgical intervention to correct and reconstruct the nose. It is one of the most common procedures performed to improve the symmetry, shape and size of the nose. The goal is to achieve proper proportion and balance of all facial features. The nose is located in the center of the face and is the foundation of the facial aesthetic sense of balance.
It is necessary to make a consultation with the plastic surgeon in order to clarify with him the goal you are striving for. A consultation with an anesthesiologist will also be conducted. You should provide the doctor with detailed information about your general health- illnesses, allergies, medications if you are taking any at the time, previous surgeries, etc.
Rhinoplasty lasts between one and three hours and takes place under full anaesthesia.
Like any surgical intervention, rhinoplasty carries some risk of complications. Problems can arise with nose surgery once the swelling goes down.
After surgery, you should rest in bed with your head elevated higher than your chest to reduce bleeding and swelling. Your nose may be blocked due to swelling or from the splints placed inside it during surgery. In most cases, the internal dressings stay in place for one to seven days after surgery. Your doctor will also place a splint on your nose for protection and support. It usually stays in place for about a week. It can take up to 12 months to fully recover from rhinoplasty and achieve the desired results, and in some cases the recovery period can take up to 18 months.
