Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping or reconstructing the nose to enhance its appearance or improve its function. It is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries and can address various concerns related to the nose's size, shape, and proportion. Here are key aspects of rhinoplasty:

1. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty:

• Nose Reshaping: Cosmetic rhinoplasty is often performed to address aesthetic concerns, such as reducing or increasing the size of the nose, refining the nasal tip, straightening a crooked nose, or correcting asymmetry.

• Dorsal Hump Reduction: Many individuals seek rhinoplasty to remove a dorsal hump or bump on the bridge of the nose.

• Nasal Tip Refinement: The procedure can involve reshaping and refining the nasal tip for a more defined and proportional appearance.

• Nostril Reduction: Rhinoplasty can be used to adjust the size and shape of the nostrils to achieve better facial harmony.

2. Functional Rhinoplasty:

• Septoplasty: In cases where there is a deviated septum causing breathing difficulties, rhinoplasty may include septoplasty to straighten the septum and improve airflow.

• Turbinectomy: Enlarged turbinates, structures inside the nasal passages, may be addressed to enhance nasal breathing.

3. Procedure:

• Rhinoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general or local anesthesia with sedation.

• The surgeon makes incisions either inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils, open rhinoplasty).

• Cartilage and bone are sculpted or rearranged to achieve the desired changes.

• The skin is then redraped over the new nasal framework.

• The incisions are closed, and a splint may be applied to support the nose during initial healing.

4. Recovery:

• Initial swelling and bruising are common after rhinoplasty and gradually subside over several weeks.

• Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and follow post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon.

• Full results may take several months to become apparent as the swelling resolves.

5. Risks and Considerations:

• Rhinoplasty, like any surgery, carries potential risks, including infection, bleeding, and unfavorable scarring.

• It's essential for patients to have realistic expectations and communicate their goals with the surgeon during the consultation.

6. Consultation:

• A thorough consultation with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon is crucial. During the consultation, the surgeon will assess the patient's goals, examine the nasal structure, and discuss the potential outcomes and limitations of the procedure.

Rhinoplasty is a personalized procedure that aims to achieve harmony between the nose and the rest of the facial features while addressing functional concerns if needed. Choosing a skilled and board-certified plastic surgeon is key to achieving satisfactory results.

Other Specialties :

Nose Foreign Matter:

• If there is foreign matter in the nose, it may require medical intervention, typically by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. The removal process depends on the nature of the foreign object and its location. In some cases, it may be extracted using specialized tools, while more complex cases may necessitate minor surgery.

Chinless Plastic Surgery:

• Chin augmentation or genioplasty is a cosmetic procedure that involves reshaping the chin to enhance its appearance. For individuals with a recessed or "chinless" profile, chin augmentation can be achieved through various techniques, including chin implants or surgical advancement of the chin bone.

Eye Plastic Surgery:

• Eye plastic surgery, also known as oculoplastic surgery or oculofacial plastic surgery, focuses on procedures related to the eyelids, tear ducts, and surrounding areas. Common eye plastic surgeries include eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), ptosis repair, and the treatment of eyelid malpositions.

Middle-Aged Plastic Surgery:

• Plastic surgery for middle-aged individuals often addresses signs of aging, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and volume loss. Procedures may include facelifts, neck lifts, eyelid surgery, brow lifts, and non-surgical options like injectables to rejuvenate the face and restore a more youthful appearance.

Ear Keloid Plastic Surgery:

• Keloids are raised overgrowths of scar tissue that can develop at the site of an injury, including ear piercings. Plastic surgery techniques, such as keloid removal or revision, may be employed to address ear keloids. Treatment options may include surgical excision, steroid injections, or laser therapy.
