Rhinoplasty-Procedure and Risks

The rhinoplasty is a reconstructive or correction surgery in order to improve the function or the esthetic appearance of the nose.Can have as propuse the correction of a trauma,birth defects or breathing problems.
It is a surgical procedure wich is usually performed by the plastic surgeon but can be performed by ortolaryngologist or maxillofacial surgeon too.
The rhinoplasty surgery can be performed under general anesthetic or with local anesthetic.

Procedure:
There are two possible approches to the nose:
-close approach
-open approach.
In close rhinoplasty the incisions are made inside the nostrils (so,in this case the incisions are hidded) and in open approch the incision is made across the skin that separates the nostrils.
The surgeon first separates the skin and soft tissues of the nose and then reshape the cartilage and bone.
After the surgery the patient can return home (this in hours,or a day).After surgery restrict your activities and sleep with your head elevated,supported by pillows.
The bruises around the eyes and cheeks are apparent only the first 3 days and the swelling may last few weeks,after the paking is removed (in 7 days after surgery).The stitches are removed in 3-7 days.
Even most of the patients prefer to remain in house for the first week,is more safe to be outdoors to fast the healing.
For any case the plastic surgeon has to decide about the possibilities of correction,is not professional to complish the patient wishes (that can be exagerated and unreal) without stablish if the bone structure and the septum support are suitable to reconstruction .
Drastically corrections,exagerating demands can bring risks for minor complications until nasal obstarction.
If after surgery bleeding occurs,this is not serious,pass fast and doesn't need treatment (consult your doctor).
Other post operative complications are the scars (very rare) and nasal obstraction.
Exist an other way to reshape the nose without surgical procedure,by injection.

Don't become a victim of your illusions.
Discuss with the plastic surgeon if is possible the correction you wish.
The plastic surgery has its gratitude if reconstruct when is needed and correct when is necessary!
