Rhinoplasty: what it is and how does it
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that allows you to recreate the harmonious proportions, both bone and cartilage, of the nose, alsofrom an aesthetic point of view. During the consultation phase, the cosmetic surgeon carefully evaluates the patient’s face, taking into consideration the plans composed of the forehead and eyes, and mouth and chin: rhinoplasty when there are no breathingproblems that must be corrected, has important psychological benefits, as it helps improve self-perception.
How does rhinoplasty happen
The rhinoplasty operation begins with the tip of the nose: it intervenes on the cartilages to reshape the area. The cosmetic surgeon then continues by correcting the bones and the back and, if there are respiratory problems on which to intervene, also the septum. Each incision is made internally, so rhinoplasty leaves no noticeable scars.
The most common features among patients who decide to undergo rhinoplasty are:
The aquiline nose
The potato nose
The crooked nose
The nasal hump
The wide nostrils
Post rhinoplasty: the course
After rhinoplasty, convalescence is challenging: the patient must wear a rigid brace for a week, after which it is necessary to apply patches for 5 days The rigid mask not only favours the rearrangement of the tissues in the correct position but also protects the treated area from any accidental bumps.
The nose is bigger after rhinoplasty than the final result will be, since the operation causes bruising and swelling that can take a few weeks before disappearing and completely reabsorbed. Furthermore, bruises can also be visible under the eyes and can be accompanied by a feeling of heaviness: healing occurs slowly and to facilitate it is better to avoid sports activities that involve the risk of hitting the nose.
The definitiveresults, which restore general harmony to the face and satisfy the patients, are visible 6 months after rhinoplasty.
