Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty

The key to harmony and symmetry of appearance
Rhinoplasty is an operation to correct the size and shape of the nose, its individual parts, as well as congenital and acquired deformities. This plastic surgery changes the appearance of the face, harmonizing its features, and in some cases even allows solving health issues.

Types of rhinoplasty

Depending on the purpose of the plastic surgery, the surgeon can work with different parts of the nose and its structures:
Hump ​​rhinoplasty

Hump ​​rhinoplasty

Usually a congenital hump is combined with a high and narrow nose. When performing plastic surgery, it is necessary to take this feature into account and compensate for the narrowness of the nasal passages so that breathing problems do not arise. During plastic surgery, work is done on the bone and cartilaginous base of the nose, and it may even be necessary to move its side walls. In order for facial features to be harmonious, it may be necessary to correct the tip of the nose so that it does not look too long.
Septoplasty

Septoplasty - changes in the nasal septum

In its isolated version, it does not change the shape of the nose and is performed in case of traumatic displacement or breathing problems. However, it can also be used in combination with other types of rhinoplasty.
Plastic surgery of the tip of the nose

Plastic surgery of the tip of the nose

During this operation, work is carried out only on the tip; the osteochondral skeleton is not affected. The intervention technique depends on what specific problem needs to be corrected. For example, when reducing the wings, the wing cartilages and/or adipose tissue located between them are resected
Reconstructive rhinoplasty

Reconstructive rhinoplasty

It is performed on patients with severe nasal deformities, which can be either congenital or acquired. In any case, this is a complex operation that requires the movement of osteochondral structures and even the use of various implants (both artificial materials and natural ones).
Revision rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty

Patients who are dissatisfied with the aesthetic parameters or functional features of the first plastic surgery resort to it. Repeated intervention requires special qualifications of the surgeon, since the patient already has anatomical changes. Some patients may need bone or cartilage grafts.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty

This technology is gaining increasing popularity. Long-acting fillers are used here; with their help, you can correct the missing volume, eliminate asymmetry, a forked tip, etc. The procedure has maximum safety, is absolutely non-traumatic, and does not require a recovery period. Disadvantages include a small range of problems that can be solved and the reversibility of the result (on average, it lasts for 6-8 months).

How is rhinoplasty performed?

The technical nuances of the operation will depend on the type of intervention. It can be performed from two accesses - open and closed.

When access is closed

The incision is made on the inner surface of the nostrils, and the stitches will be completely invisible to strangers. Further tactics will be determined by the qualifications of the surgeon and the planned work. For example, endoscopy can be used, which allows visualization of internal structures using a miniature video camera.

When open access

Incisions are made in the columella, the skin barrier between the nostrils where it connects to the upper lip. Then the skin and soft tissues are peeled off and the osteochondral base of the nasal skeleton is exposed. This technique is used in reconstructive or repeat operations when there is a change in the anatomy of an organ, and the doctor needs to clearly understand the relationship of the tissues.

Recovery after surgery

Even in the operating room, the patient's nostrils are tamponed with turundas or splits. A plaster cast is applied to the back (if it has been corrected). The turundas are left in place for several days and the cast is removed after a few weeks. But even after this, it is necessary to protect the face from accidental deformations. The patient is asked to refrain from wearing glasses, limit sports activities, and sleep exclusively on his back.

The first results are assessed after a month, when pronounced swelling subsides and bruises disappear. But the final result will be visible a year after the operation, when the tissues fall into place and post-traumatic swelling finally subsides.
