Rhinoplasty improves the proportions of your nose and the harmony of your face. Patients may also refer to it as a "nose job" or "nose reshaping." It can help remedy breathing problems brought on by structural flaws in the nose.

Things rhinoplasty can fix

• In relation to face equilibrium, nose size
• The size and placement of the nostrils, or the width of the nose at the bridge
• Noticeable bumps or depressions on the bridge in the nose profile
• An abnormally big or bulbous, drooping, tilted, or hooked nasal tip
• Broad, wide, or cocked-up nostrils
• Nose asymmetry

Remember that everyone's face is somewhat asymmetric if you want a more symmetrical nose. The objective is to produce facial equilibrium and the right proportion, even though the results might not be perfectly symmetrical.

A deviated septum can be fixed by rhinoplasty.

A comprehensive analysis of the nasal structure in relation to airflow and breathing is necessary before performing nose surgery to repair an obstructed airway.

By altering the nasal structure to promote better alignment, it is possible to correct a deviated septum, one of the most prevalent causes of breathing difficulties.

The rhinoplasty process is quite personalised. You should act in your own best interests, not those of others or in an effort to conform to some sort of idealised ideal.

For rhinoplasty, who makes a good candidate?

Should any of the following apply to you:

• Your facial development is finished.
• You are in good physical shape.
• No, you don't smoke.
• You are optimistic and intend to make improvements to your appearance by setting reasonable goals.

Plastic surgery is a highly individualised choice. You must choose whether the risks and probable consequences of rhinoplasty are tolerable and whether the advantages will help you accomplish your goals.

The dangers of surgery will be thoroughly explained by your plastic surgeon and/or staff. You will be required to sign consent paperwork to show that you are aware of all the risks and potential consequences associated with the treatment.

Among the hazards of rhinoplasty surgery are:

• Hazards of anaesthesia
• Skin sensitivity variations (numbness or pain)
• Breathing challenges
• Infection
• It is uncommon to have a perforation in the nasal septum. The septum may require additional surgical intervention, however it might not be able to resolve this issue.
• Scarring or inadequate wound healing
• Surgery revision is a possibility.
• Edoema and skin discolouration
• Unacceptable nasal appearance

Before you give your consent, all risks, including this ones, will be clearly disclosed. It's crucial that you ask your plastic surgeon all of your questions up front.

To support and protect the new structures during early healing after rhinoplasty, you can have a splint or packing within your nose and bandages or a splint on the outside.

While the initial swelling quickly goes down, it could take up to a year for your new nose contour to become completely refined. As the process refines to a more permanent result, you can notice subtle changes in the way your nose looks during this period.

During the first year after your rhinoplasty surgery, swelling may come and go and get worse in the morning.

You'll receive detailed instructions, which can include:

• Care instructions for the surgery site
• medications that can be used topically or taken orally to promote healing and lower the risk of infection
• specific issues to watch for following surgery or with your general health
• when to schedule a consultation with your plastic surgeon.

Ask your rhinoplasty surgeon specific questions about what to anticipate throughout your unique recovery period by making sure to:

• Where will I be taken when my procedure is finished?
• What prescription drugs will I receive or be given following surgery?
• After surgery, will I wear dressings or bandages?
• Will they be taken out when?
• Are the sutures taken out? When?
• When can I get back to my regular routine and exercise?
• When do I go back for additional treatment?

The effects of rhinoplasty surgery will stay for a very long time. While the initial swelling quickly goes down, it could take up to a year for your new nose contour to become completely refined. As the process refines to a more permanent result, you can notice subtle changes in the way your nose looks during this period.

It is normal to experience certain progressive changes to your face, particularly your nose, as your body ages. However, the majority of your progress should be fairly long-lasting.

The effects of your new appearance will last longer if you lead a healthy lifestyle and use sunscreen every day.
