Rhinoplasty Procedure
- Rhinoplasty is done under general anesthesia and the surgery takes 2 to 3 hours.
- Very well concealed incisions are made inside the nostrils, and occasionally across the lower midsection.
- Excess bone and cartilage is removed, reshaped, or redistributed. The skin molds down around this rearranged framework to arrive at the final cosmetic appearance.
- The septal cartilage in the middle of the nose is removed or molded to allow for better breathing.
- Packing is seldom required.
- A splint is applied over the nose for 1 week to hold the tissues in place and decrease swelling.
- A chin implant often compliments this procedure and improves the profile.
Rhinoplasty Recovery
While patient experiences vary, in general you can expect the following progression after your surgery:
- You can return home after several hours.
- You can shower 2 days after surgery.
- Minimal pain that is mostly gone by the second or third day and easily controlled by medications.
- Some congestion and nasal drip for 2 to 3 days.
- Swelling is mild to moderate for the first week, and rapidly disappears thereafter.
- Minimal bruising between the eyes and cheeks which peaks at 2 days then disappears rapidly by 7 to 10 days.
- Resume many activities within the first week, and most by the third week.
- Stitches are removed at 7 days.
- Off of work for 3 to 7 days.
Rhinoplasty Results
Rhinoplasty results vary between individuals and may include one or more of the following improvements:
- Natural look without the “operated” or “nose job” appearance of the older techniques.
- A softened and beautiful balance to compliment your other facial features and proportions.
- Lasts the rest of your life, and looks better than if you did not have the nose reshaping surgery.
- Natural and presentable appearance after the first week that continues to improve over the next 6 to 9 months.
