Rhinoplasty - Commonly known as "nosejob"
Rhinoplasty is commonly known as a ‘nose job’ and involves a surgical operation which changes the shape of the nose and therefore the patient’s facial features. Rhinoplasty is commonly performed for aesthetic reasons but is also used as a corrective procedure to repair the nose following an accident or as a result of a birth defect.
What are the benefits of the surgery?
Rhinoplasty can change the shape and size of your nose if you are unhappy with it. The nose is one of the face’s most prominent features. Changing it through Rhinoplasty can have an enhancing impact on a person’s appearance.
From a medical perspective, Rhinoplasty can correct bone and cartilage deficiencies which may cause breathing issues and repair the nose after an accident.
What does the Rhinoplasty procedure involve?
For Rhinoplasty the two basic surgical approaches involve a Closed Rhinoplasty or an Open Rhinoplasty. During the Closed Rhinoplasty procedure incisions are made inside the nose. In Open Rhinoplasty a small incision is made along the skin that separates the nostrils. In both cases surgical scars are hidden or barely visible. The majority of Rhinoplasty procedures require only a light sedation although in some cases a general anaesthetic may be used.
Typically Rhinoplasty surgery time is between 1 to 3 hours with an initial healing time of 1 to 2 weeks but bandages are usually removed after a few days. The patient can return to work following the initial healing period but it is advisable they refrain from strenuous activity and contact sports for 4 to 6 weeks.
Rhinoplasty is a popular and generally safe procedure which is performed almost 800,000 times per year but choosing to have any surgery is a serious and personal decision. If you decide that this is right for you then further information on Rhinoplasty, your suitability and the possible side effects will be provided by a qualified cosmetic surgeon during the Rhinoplasty consultation stage pre surgery.
