Whether to do nose contouring or choose rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical intervention, the purpose of which is to correct the shape and restore the functions of the nose. The operation makes it possible to correct congenital or acquired defects: remove hump, eliminate curvature, change the size of the nose, reconstruct the septum, and so on. A doctor's consultation before rhinoplasty is mandatory. The plastic surgeon will determine the scope of the operation and the best option for surgical intervention. Bone-cartilaginous surgery is performed with open or closed access under general anesthesia. With endonasal intervention, the incision is made inside the nasal passages. Open rhinoplasty requires an additional incision along the columella (membrane between the nostrils).

The price of surgery at the best plastic surgeons

Rhinoplasty is performed not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to correct a deviated septum and to improve nasal breathing.

A closed rhinoplasty can be performed in the clinic if the following defects are present:

  • bump of the back of the nose;
  • saddle-like shape (sag) of the back;
  • incorrect tip shape;
  • wide nose wings;
  • asymmetry;
  • large nostrils.

Where do doctors perform correction of the nose with potatoes? In all clinics where plastic surgery is performed. You can find out how rhinoplasty is performed in medical institutions of the ""Dobrobut"" network on our website https://dobrobut.com/.

In an open operation, marginal incisions and an incision along the columella are made. After that, the skin is slightly removed to the bridge of the nose and manipulations are performed on bone and cartilaginous tissues. Open rhinoplasty allows the surgeon to visually control the course of the operation and achieve ideal symmetry of the organ. Bones and/or cartilaginous tissue are removed to reduce the size of the big nose. Sometimes, on the contrary, additional cartilage grafts may be needed. Cartilaginous tissue of the septum of the nose or auricle is most often used for this purpose. Open rhinoplasty is more traumatic, so the rehabilitation period after such an operation is longer. How much open rhinoplasty costs in Kyiv hospitals depends on the scope of the surgical intervention and the conditions of the clinic.

Qualified doctors have both techniques of rhinoplasty and offer the patient an acceptable option of surgical intervention. The price of the operation at the best plastic surgeons is higher than at doctors who perform correction of the shape of the nose exclusively through open access.

Rhinoplasty before and after: what to expect after surgery

It is not possible to see the result of the operation right away. Patients should be prepared for a recovery period during which the face looks unaesthetic. Turunds (tampons) are removed from the nasal passages 1-3 days after the operation. A cast during rehabilitation after rhinoplasty of the nasal hump is necessary for a week.

A few days after the operation, the face will be swollen, and the area around the eyes and nose will be swollen. How long it takes for the swelling to subside after rhinoplasty depends on the surgical procedure and the patient's individual characteristics. Usually swelling and bruising disappear after 2-3 weeks. Cold compresses help reduce swelling and reduce pain.

Rhinoplasty before and after: you can finally judge the results of the operation only after a year. Therefore, doctors recommend re-correcting the shape of the nose no earlier than after 12-18 months. This time is necessary for the complete disappearance of internal swelling. Unsuccessful repeat rhinoplasty of the stars is evidence of too short an interval between operations.

Rhinoplasty: risks

Modern anesthetics belong to medicines with a high level of safety, but the risk of use still exists. For a healthy adult, the probability of serious complications related to anesthesia appears to be 1:100,000.

A little bleeding is normal during rhinoplasty. After the operation, blood gradually seeps from the nose during the day. Pronounced bleeding that requires medical attention occurs much less frequently (approximately in one patient out of a hundred).

Redness and swelling around the nose or on the cheeks, temperature, increasing pain indicate an infectious process. Timely administration of antibiotics reduces the likelihood of infection.

Should contour plastic surgery of the nose be done

It is possible to hide imperfections and correct the shape of the nose without radical surgery. With the help of contour plastic, asymmetry is eliminated, the tip of the nose is lifted, additional correction is carried out after rhinoplasty.

Non-surgical correction of the tip of the nose with fillers allows you to temporarily correct its shape. Injectable fillers are injected under the skin of the problem area. The drug is absorbed after 12-18 months, after which the procedure must be repeated.

Advantages of nose contour plastic surgery:

  1. The risk of complications is reduced to zero.
  2. Absence of postoperative swelling and bruising.
  3. Painlessness of the method.
  4. Lack of preoperative preparation.
  5. Quick result and relatively long-lasting effect.
  6. Re-operation is not required if the ""new"" nose is not to your liking. After 1-1.5 years, the shape of the nose will be restored.

It is up to the patient to do nose contouring or rhinoplasty. Fillers will help correct a small aesthetic imperfection. To eliminate a congenital or acquired defect that spoils the appearance or makes it difficult to breathe, rhinoplasty is required.
