Nose job
Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, it is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It is a reshaping of the cartilage, bone and sometimes the soft tissues of the nose.
The patient´s input is always sought regarding the desired nasal change, but the patient must accept the judgment of the plastic surgeon as to the type, shape and contour of the nose as he/she is more acquainted with limitation imposed by the patient's tissues and facial features.
How long does the surgery take?
The procedure will require 1-2 nights stay in the clinic. Rhinoplasty usually takes an hour or two.
What will happen in the recovery period?
You may have some swelling (usually lasts for 2-4 weeks up to several months) and some bruising. For 24 hours your nose passage will be filled with an oil pads so you will not be able breathe through your nose. Next day the surgeon will take them out. You will be applied the splint on your nose, which remains in place for 7-8 days.
Each patient is individual so no definite timescale for recovery can be given. However most rhinoplasty patients are up and about within a couple of days after surgery, and are able to return to work after just a week.
What can I expect from the surgery?
Your expectations need to be realistic. Day by day, your nose will begin to look better and you can expect a nose that looks natural and blends harmoniously with your other facial features. The vast majority of patiens undergoing rhinoplasty gain a feeling of increased self-confidence with improvement in their body image. The final results of rhinoplasty may not be apparent for a year or more.
