Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Rhinoplasty is also known as “Nose reshaping” or “Nose Job”. The nose is the defining feature of your face. Rhinoplasty simply refers to a procedure of changing the appearance of your nose. It is one of the most common plastic surgery performed today. This popular procedure can improve the disproportionate appearance of your nose by altering the size or shape of the nose, the span of the nostrils, and the angle between the nose and the upper lip. Hereditary, accidents, structural abnormalities, breathing problems, and natural growth are the genuine reasons for Rhinoplasty surgery.

There are two types of Nose surgery, scarless or open nose surgery and closed nose surgery. The only difference between the two Rhinoplasty surgeries is the approach “where your plastic surgeon makes the incision to access the nasal structure.” In open Rhinoplasty, the incisions are made at the columella, which is a tissue separating both the nostrils. These incisions enable the surgeon to reach your internal nasal structure. And in closed Rhinoplasty the incisions are made inside the nostrils to access the nasal structure.

The procedure of Rhinoplasty in Ahmedabad

The Rhinoplasty surgery begins by giving general anesthesia to the patient making him/her sleep during the operation, or by giving local anesthesia which norms the nose and the surrounding area and makes you relaxed but you may not be asleep. Prior to making an incision, the surgeon draws marks that guide him during the surgery. For open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made on the columella followed by making incisions in each nostril in order to fully expose the nasal framework. For closed Rhinoplasty, two incisions are made in each nostril in order to gain access to the cartilages and nasal bone then the cartilage bone is removed if your nose is wide or if your nose is short additional bone from your ear may be used to shape your nose. Nasal implants are also used when an additional bone is required. After finishing this process the cartilage is pulled inward to adjust its position which reshapes the nose. Additionally, if there is a need to remove the dorsal hump, the surgeon also removes it by carving the cartilage bone.

After Rhinoplasty Procedure

The incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches after the surgeon finished reshaping your nose, Nasal airway splints are likely to be placed inside the nostrils which provide support and stabilize the nose for healing. Bandages are to be applied outside of your nose enabling the cartilage and nasal bone to heal.
