Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to rectify the shape of the nose such as a nasal hump, broad nostrils, or to alter the nasal tip. The profile of the face is essential in facial aesthetics. It consists of three main elements, namely the nose, the lips, and the chin, which must be arranged harmoniously to achieve optimal aesthetic results.
Rhinoplasty is typically carried out under general anesthesia and typically lasts for a duration of two to three hours. The surgeon makes an incision inside the nose to access the bony and cartilaginous structure. Then, he can sculpt the bones and cartilage to give the nose the desired shape.
To ensure optimal healing, the new shape of the nose is maintained with a plaster, which also helps to minimize swelling. Bruising and swelling may appear around the eyes and nose, but will disappear within a week. The discomfort associated with the procedure is typically mild and can be alleviated with medication prescribed by the surgeon.
