Rhinoplasty

Transform your life by shaping your nose and achieve a perfect face.

¿What is a Liposculpture and what is it used for ?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to correct the shape and structure of the nose, with the goal of improving both its aesthetics and functionality.

This surgery can make changes to the shape, size, and position of the nose, as well as to the nasal septum and turbinates. In addition to improving the appearance of the face, rhinoplasty can also address breathing problems such as deviations in the nasal septum that affect the patient's ability to breathe properly.

In summary, rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery that can significantly improve the facial appearance and quality of life of those who undergo it.

Consultation and Preparation

The first step is a consultation with the plastic surgeon, where a complete medical evaluation is performed, including blood tests and imaging tests to determine the structure and function of the patient's nose. During the consultation, the patient and surgeon will also discuss the goals of the surgery.

Before the surgery, the patient should also refrain from smoking, consuming alcohol, and certain medications that may increase the risk of bleeding. The plastic surgeon may also recommend certain topical products that should be applied to the nose and nasal passages to reduce the risk of infection. In general, rhinoplasty is considered an outpatient procedure, which means that the patient can go home on the same day of the surgery.

Procedure

The rhinoplasty is generally performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the preference of the surgeon and the patient, and takes about 1 to 3 hours.

The surgeon makes an incision inside the nostrils or at the base of the nose, which allows access to the nasal bones and cartilage. The surgeon may use different techniques to make these changes, such as removing cartilage or bone, grafting with own or synthetic tissue, suturing existing tissues, or repositioning them. Once the adjustments have been made, the incisions are closed with sutures, and a cast or splint is placed on the nose to help maintain the new shape.

Post-operative and Recovery

It is common for patients to experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort after the procedure. Ice can be applied to the area to reduce swelling and discomfort, or the surgeon may prescribe painkillers.

It is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity, sun exposure, and keep the head elevated during the first few days after surgery. It is important to be careful when blowing the nose and avoid any kind of trauma to the operated area. During the recovery, it is common to experience nasal congestion and difficulty breathing through the nose, which is normal. The surgeon may prescribe nasal drops or a spray to help reduce congestion.

It is generally common for the bandages and cast to be removed after one week of the surgery. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to keep the bandages and cast for a longer period to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

The recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the surgery and the patient's health, but generally, normal daily activities can be resumed after one to two weeks. The final result of the rhinoplasty may take several months to appear due to swelling and healing. It is important to be patient and follow the plastic surgeon's instructions to achieve the best results.
