Rhinoplasty (nose job) “Isabella”

Rhinoplasty (nose job)

Rhinoplasty, or nose job, is one of the most complex branches of plastic surgery and involves changing the outer contours of the nose by smoothing, removing or moving the bones and cartilage that form its base.

Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of the nose, change its shape, and correct birth defects and breathing problems.

Who is rhinoplasty indicated for?

Rhinoplasty can be performed for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes. There are no special restrictions on this procedure, however, it is believed that it is undesirable to do rhinoplasty until the process of facial formation is finally completed (by the age of 14 for girls, a little later for boys).

Planning your operation

At the consultation stage, the surgeon will assess the structure of your nose and discuss possible options with you, explaining factors that may affect the operation.

During the examination, a series of photographs will be taken that are necessary to draw up a surgical plan, as well as an X-ray examination of the paranasal sinuses.

If you have had any surgery or injury to your nose before, or if you have allergies or breathing difficulties, be sure to report this. Issues related to smoking and taking medications should be specifically addressed. For 2-3 days before the operation, it is necessary to take medications to strengthen the walls of blood vessels (ascorutin).

The surgeon should give you recommendations as you prepare for surgery. In case you have any questions, be sure to discuss them.

Carrying out the operation

Rhinoplasty is performed only in a hospital setting under general anesthesia in combination with local infiltration anesthesia. The operation usually lasts 1.5-2 hours, although more complex procedures may take longer. The operation consists of separating the skin of the nose from the bones and cartilage, which will be brought to the desired shape. After this, the skin is restored.

Some surgeons perform rhinoplasty from the inside, making an incision on the inside of the nostrils. In difficult cases, the “open” method is preferable, when a small incision is made across the skin part of the septum. The minimum inpatient stay is usually 1-3 days, depending on the extent of the surgical intervention.

Postoperative period

To stop bleeding after surgery, tampons are inserted into the nose, which are removed after 2-3 days, during which the patient breathes through the mouth.

In many cases, special plates (protectors) made of soft polyurethane are inserted into the nasal passages to hold the nasal septum in the correct position. The protectors are not visible and are removed 3 weeks after surgery.

After the operation, a plaster (sometimes with the addition of plaster strips) bandage is applied to the face, which is removed after 8-10 days. The first dressing is done the next day after the operation.

There is always swelling and discoloration of the skin (bruising) around the eyes, which disappear by 90% within two weeks. Tissue swelling completely disappears over a longer period (up to 6 months).

The time when the patient can return to his daily activities is determined by his well-being. This usually becomes possible within 5-7 days after surgery.

In many cases, it is strongly recommended that you avoid wearing glasses for 2-4 weeks after surgery, as this can significantly worsen the outcome.

For rapid restoration of nasal tissue (reduction of swelling, bruising, restoration of skin sensitivity, elimination of nasal congestion), it is recommended to carry out physiotherapeutic procedures (EF, UHF, electrophoresis, ultrasound) for a year (3-4 courses). It is also advisable to see your doctor monthly.

Preliminary results of the operation can be assessed in 1.5 months, final results in 1-1.5 years.
