Introduction
Rhinoplasty is a nose recontouring procedure designed to improve the proportions of the nose. In relation to the rest of the face. This surgery can also correct a deviated septum and address other breathing difficulties caused by obstructed airflow. It alters the underlying framework of the nose through inconspicuous, undetectable incisions. Therefore providing patients with results that can last a lifetime. Depending on the goals you would like to achieve with this. The procedure addresses the bone, cartilage, skin, and soft tissue of the nose.
Due to the nose’s central positioning on the face. Moreover, even small adjustments were made during this procedure. Such as adjusting the angle of the nasal tip or straightening a bump. It can enhance your entire appearance by making the face appear more balanced and symmetrical.
What to do?
But if you experience problems with self-confidence stemming from the way your nose looks, you can choose to correct it. Dr. Furqan Haider is a highly experienced plastic surgeon who achieves elegant, natural-looking results. He can help balance the proportions of your nose with the rest of your surrounding facial features. While surgery may also be performed to correct breathing problems. It is most frequently pursued to correct aesthetic issues in which patients perceive their noses as too large, small, bumpy, droopy, crooked, wide, narrow, short, or long.
How Is the Rhinoplasty Procedure Performed?
It is typically performed under a local anesthetic with intravenous sedation and takes one to three hours to complete. But the procedure can either be “closed,” meaning all the incisions are made inside the nose, or “open,” meaning an incision is made under the nasal tip, between the nostrils, lifting the skin to gain a clear view of the nasal structure. Most patients benefit from a closed procedure.
But once Dr. Furqan Haider has made the incision, bone, and cartilage are reshaped to bring the nose into balance. But the bone and cartilage may be reduced, augmented/refined, or may require harvesting or grafting. After completion, absorbable sutures are placed in the nose and nasal packing is used to control bleeding. In some cases, a special splint may be used.
What Can I Expect from The Rhinoplasty Recovery Period?
Following the procedure, you should anticipate healing to last one to two weeks. At which point you may return to a normal routine. Swelling may take some time to subside and pain medication may be prescribed for the first week. After one week, nasal packing may be removed. You should avoid most sports and activities with a potential for nose impact for six weeks. Most patients will appreciate the effects of the rhinoplasty three to six months after the procedure. But some may need more time to adjust to their new appearance. Like with other surgeries, some complications are possible. And may include unsatisfying results such as nasal obstruction, bleeding, and sinus infection.
In some cases, alternatives to this procedure may achieve a similar result. These may include dermal fillers to contour the nose or chin augmentation to balance a prominent nose.
