Considering Rhinoplasty Surgery? Here's What You Need to Know!

There are people who are bothered by a nose that does not fit the overall symmetry of their face. This causes a lot of mental stress because of low self-esteem.

There is an easy-to-access solution that produces immediate results for this. It is known as rhinoplasty surgery. The nose job is a cosmetic surgery that allows people to change the shape and formation of their nose to achieve the desired facial appearance. Dr. Dhaval Patel, a skilled, experienced, and board-certified plastic surgeon, has performed numerous nose surgeries, and many patients rely on his reconstructive abilities.

What you can expect?

There is no set sequence of steps for nose cosmetic surgery. Each surgery is unique and tailored to the specific anatomy and goals of the patient.

During the surgery

Rhinoplasty requires either local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the complexity of your surgery and the preference of your surgeon. Before surgery, discuss with your doctor which type of anaesthesia is best for you.

●    Sedation and local anaesthesia. This type of anaesthesia is most commonly used for outpatient procedures. It only has an effect on one part of your body. You are sedated with medication injected through an intravenous (IV) line after receiving a pain reliever injected into your nasal tissues. This causes drowsiness but does not put you to sleep.

●    General anesthesia. The drug (anaesthetic) is administered either orally or through a small tube (IV line) inserted into a vein in your hand, neck, or chest. General anaesthesia affects the entire body, rendering you unconscious during surgery. It requires a breathing tube.

Rhinoplasty can be performed either inside your nose or through a small external cut (incision) between your nostrils at the base of your nose. Our CI Plastic surgeons will almost certainly realign the bone and cartilage beneath your skin.

Depending on how much needs to be removed or added, the structure of your nose, and the materials available, our surgeon can alter the shape of your nasal bones or cartilage in a number of ways. The surgeon may use cartilage from your ear or from deeper inside your nose to make minor adjustments. The surgeon may use implants, a bone from other parts of your body, or cartilage from your rib to make larger changes. After making these adjustments, the doctor stitches the incisions in your nose and replaces the skin and tissue.

The septum (the wall between the two sides of the nose) can also be corrected by the surgeon to improve breathing. You'll be in a recovery room after the surgery, where the staff will monitor your return to consciousness. You could leave later that day, or you could stay overnight if you have other health issues.

After the surgery

Your doctor may advise you to take precautions for several weeks after surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding and swelling. Your surgeon may say:

●      Avoid activities like jogging and aerobics.

●      Prefer to take baths instead of showers while you have bandages on your nose.

●      It is not appropriate to blow your nose.

●      Consume high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables to avoid constipation. Constipation can cause strain, which puts strain on the surgical site.

●      Try to avoid extreme facial expressions such as laughing or smiling.

●      Brush your teeth gently to avoid moving your upper lip.

●      Wear clothing with a front zipper. Clothing, such as sweaters or shirts, should not be pulled over your head.

As per your age, your nose will keep in little changes, whether you have surgery or not. As a result, determining when you have obtained your "final result" is difficult. However, the majority of the swelling goes away within a year.

As a result, proper care must be taken, and consulting a good and experienced clinic will be beneficial.
