Rhinoplasty involves changing the nose’s shape, size, or proportions to improve an individual’s look. Aside from aesthetic purposes, this surgical procedure can also repair congenital disabilities or deformities from injuries and help with breathing problems. From cartilage or bone revision to cartilage transfer, there are various techniques used by surgeons in nose surgery. It is performed to treat the following:
1- Nose misalignment
2- Overly large or overly small nose
3- Bulbous, drooping, or hooked nose tips
4- Nose bridges with visible humps and depressions
5- Nasal injury (such as a broken nose)
6- Closed or limiting breathing passages.
Getting a rhinoplasty is a highly personal decision. In general, you are a good candidate for a nose job if:
1- You are physically healthy
2- You have realistic expectations and a positive outlook
3- You have completed facial growth
4- You do not smoke
During your initial consultation, our surgical team at Skin Works will discuss everything you need to know about rhinoplasty, from preparation to recovery. You will also be asked about your surgery goals and motivation to manage your expectations. By understanding what the entire procedure entails and the results you might achieve, you can decide whether a nose job is right for you.
Similar to any form of surgery, nose surgery requires patients to prepare themselves physically and mentally for the procedure. These steps should help you get ready for your upcoming rhinoplasty:
Your assigned surgeon will ask you questions regarding your medical condition. This interview will touch upon the following:
1- Any history of nasal obstruction including other surgeries performed in the past.
2- Bleeding problems. If you have a bleeding problem, you most likely won’t be allowed to undergo rhinoplasty as this could complicate the procedure.
3- Adjusting or avoiding certain medications altogether. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin including herbal supplements obtained over-the-counter should be avoided.
4- Smoking habits. The reason for this is that, as with the majority of surgeries, smoking can cause the healing process after the operation to go at a slower pace. This can lead to an increased risk of infection as well.
If you have any other medical history that may complicate the procedure, your doctor will also review them.
Before undergoing nose surgery, you should expect a physical exam and a lab test. Apart from your nose, the doctor will meticulously analyze your entire facial structure and draw up a plan that will best suit your profile.
A physical examination before rhinoplasty is crucial as it helps surgeons determine certain factors, such as the strength of your nose cartilage and skin thickness. These two can severely affect the surgery’s results if not assessed beforehand.
The staff assigned to you will acquire photos of your nose. Different angles will be taken as this will help your doctor showcase the before and after results of the operation.
After the nose surgery, a nasal splint or bandages are usually used to support and protect your new nose. There will be some swelling or bruising around the eye area, which can improve after a couple of weeks to months.
You can return to most of your activities one week after the surgery. You can carry on with your routine by the second to fourth week. The results of your rhinoplasty will become more apparent once your nose has healed completely.
Specific tips will help you recover quickly after your nose surgery. These are:
1- Take a bath instead of a shower. Otherwise, water will hit your nose, which could be painful or affect the surgery results.
2- Avoid swimming pools. The chlorine in swimming pools may irritate your nose as it heals.
3- Having good posture and making sure your head stays elevated.
4- Avoid making extreme facial expressions, particularly smiling or laughing.
5- Refrain from blowing your nose or sneezing. While sneezing may be involuntary, it is usually triggered by environmental factors such as allergies or spices. You should avoid these triggers. If you end up having to sneeze, moving your tongue along the roof of your mouth or pressing it against your front teeth can help.
6- Avoid strenuous exercise.
7- Don’t put your clothes over your head. Wear button-up or zip-up tops instead. You can also opt to wear clothes that you can step into, such as body suits, rompers, or dresses.
8- Don’t wear glasses or sunglasses. If you need glasses to see, you can opt to use contacts instead. You can consult with one of our experts at Skin Works Medical Spa prior to your surgery if you need more advice on dealing with this recovery step.
