What is Rhinoplasty Surgery/Nose operation?

At SKIN111 Clinic, rhinoplasty commonly known as a “nose job” is carefully crafted to reshape, enhance, or correct the nose, bringing balance and harmony to your facial features. Each face is unique, and our personalized approach ensures results that complement your natural beauty.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty Surgery

Shape & size refinement: Sculpt the nasal bridge, tip, or nostrils for a balanced look.
Aesthetic improvements: Enhances the overall appearance of the nose, leading to improved facial symmetry.
Functional improvements: Can correct breathing issues caused by structural defects.
Increased confidence: Many patients report improved self-esteem and body image post-surgery.
Long-lasting results: Offers permanent changes, allowing patients to enjoy their new look for years.

Types of Rhinoplasty operation

Open rhinoplasty: Involves an external incision across the columella; suitable for extensive reshaping.

Closed rhinoplasty: All incisions are made inside the nostrils; results in no visible scars.

Revision rhinoplasty: Performed on patients who have previously undergone rhinoplasty to correct or enhance earlier results.

Who is a good candidate for Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Physical health: Generally healthy individuals without serious medical conditions.
Age: Typically recommended for patients over 15-16 years old (after facial growth).
Realistic expectations: Candidates should have clear, achievable goals regarding surgery outcomes.
Psychological preparedness: Must be mentally and emotionally ready for the changes.

The Rhinoplasty Surgery procedure

The rhinoplasty operation is designed to reshape the cartilage and bones of the nasal bridge (dorsum) and/or the cartilages of the tip. The approach depends on the specific areas being treated.

Nose - Bridge procedure:

Cartilage and bone are removed from the bridge.
The nasal bridge is fractured to reposition the remaining bone closer together.

Outcome: This technique effectively removes any hump and narrows the overall nose.

Nose - Tip procedure:

The cartilage that supports the tip of the nose may need to be partially removed or reshaped.
This can be done through the nostrils (Closed Rhinoplasty) or via a small incision in the columella (Open Rhinoplasty).

Scarring:

Closed rhinoplasty: Scars are hidden inside the nostrils and typically fade over time.
Open rhinoplasty: The incision on the columella heals well and becomes difficult to see.

Length of surgery: The surgery generally lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the specific technique used.

Hospital stay duration: Most patients will require an overnight stay, though same-day discharge may be an option for selected cases.

Post-operative care:

A splint is placed on the nose, secured with tape.
A pad is placed under the nose, removed after 12 hours, while the splint stays on for 7-8 days.

Rhinoplasty Surgery recovery process and aftercare

Immediate post-operative care

Days 1-5:

Discomfort and difficulty breathing through the nose may occur.
Bruising and swelling are common and can last up to 2 weeks.
Patients should take it easy, either resting in the hospital or at home.

Days 2-7:

Patients can begin to move around but need to remain protective of their nose and splint.
While feeling some discomfort, patients should gradually increase their activity levels as tolerated.

Days 7-14:

Stitch removal: Stitches will be removed during this period.
Swelling and bruising: Most swelling and bruising will settle, and patients will begin to feel significantly better.
Exercise: Gentle exercise can be resumed, increasing gradually over the next 10 days.

Post-dressing care

After 7-8 days, the dressing and splint will be removed, but patients should continue to protect their nose for an additional 1-2 weeks. Some patients may return to light activities, but caution is advised.

Follow-up appointments

Check-ups:

A follow-up appointment is scheduled at 7-8 days to check the wound and change the dressing.
Additional appointments will occur at 14 days and then again at 3 months to monitor healing and results.

Final outcome

Healing timeline:

Bruising may take 2-4 weeks to disappear.
The final aesthetic results of rhinoplasty will continue to improve over the first 8-12 months as the nose heals and swelling subsides.

Risks and complications of Rhinoplasty Surgery

While rhinoplasty is a routine procedure with a high success rate, it's important to be aware of possible complications:

Bleeding: Minor bleeding is common and usually resolves within 24 hours. Severe cases may require additional surgery.
Scarring: Minimal to no visible scars occur with both Closed and Open techniques.
Infection: Rare but may require antibiotics if it occurs.
Skin irregularity: Small irregularities can develop in the skin, particularly after hump removal.
Change in skin color: The nose may become pink, especially in patients undergoing repeat procedures.
Asymmetry: Subtle differences in nose appearance can occur.
Pain: Some patients may experience discomfort for several weeks post-surgery.
Loss of smell and taste: Typically temporary, though some may experience long-term changes.
Swelling: Generally minimal, but Open rhinoplasty may result in more pronounced swelling that takes longer to settle.
