If youre eager to transform the appearance of your nose, youll be joining a long list of Brits whove made up their mind to have rinoplasty. What is it? Nose reshaping surgery is a nasal surgery. The procedure can be performed for medical causes, breathing problems, birth flaws, or injury, or it may just be done for aesthetic cosmetic purposes. Rhinoplasty is among the top 5 surgical procedures for men and women with a 34% percent hike in its popularity in one year as stated by British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (www.baaps.org.uk). Nose jobs can reduce or increase the size of the nose, modify the shape of the tip or bridge of the nose as well as narrow the distance of the nostrils. There are two main types of surgery: reduction and augmentation (which makes the nose larger). Tip reshaping or tip-plasty is also well-known. Consultant plastic surgeon from the West London Clinic (www.westlondonclinic.co.uk) think that the nose can be called a balanced nose only when its tip is in proportion. Alex Karidis one of the leading cosmetic surgeons in London comments that gone are those days when people use to have to large size button nose. Now people prefer to have proper shaped nose making reduction the most admired type of rhinoplasty. Advantages of rhinoplasty The aim for most of the patients considering rhinoplasty is to improve the appearance of their nose as declared by Mr Kalpesh Patel an ear, nose and throat surgeon. Plastic surgeons are able to correct abnormalities in your nose and make you feel better about how it looks. This, of course, translates to more confidence on your part. Rhinoplasty can also rectify a birth defect or injury as well as alleviate breathing problems. Mr Ion comments that generally, adults of higher age bracket prefer to have rhinoplasty due to drooping of the nose happening in majority of the people. Since the tip turns bigger with the increasing age due to loosening of the fat from the nose. The rhinoplasty process Your surgeon will make cuts inside your nostrils to get to the bone and cartilage. The shape of your nose will then be created by slightly removing and re-shaping the bone and cartilage. The most important method is a closed operation, carried out from inside the nose and leaving no visible scars. The surgeon enters the nose by making cuts inside the nostrils and reshapes the bone or cartilage to give the desired shape. Open rhinoplasty involves a small cut across the columella, between the nostrils, in addition to incisions on the inside of your nose. Some surgeons choose the open rhinoplasty since it gives them greater visibility of the nose. Rhinoplasty cost Costs vary from place to place but is usually between 3,000 to 4,000. Postoperative care When you come back from surgery, you may have facial bruises and swelling thatll give you the look of having been in a fight. This will last for around 14 days. Your reworked nose will be supported with a splint or plaster cast for about a week. Dont perform any strenuous activities, pass much time in direct sunlight or bend forward for the first week for any threat of bleeding. Be aware that the tip of the nose can feel numb for 6-12 months, but sensation will eventually come back. Risks associated with rhinoplasty There are various risks and complications specific to rhinoplasty. They are: rhinitis also known as running nose, infection, reaction to anesthetic and blockage of nose by swelling resulting in to breathing problems. Taking out too much cartilage or bone can produce an unnatural look and isnt desirable because it may hinder breathing. However, people normally get relief from breathing problems if proper care is being taken. How much reliable is rhinoplasty? Unlike other plastic surgery procedures (many of them need to be redone later), you shouldnt need to repeat a nose job unless youre displeased with the outcome. Mr. Patel says that in about 10 per cent of rhinoplasty examples theres a poor aesthetic result and five per cent of patients will want to have the surgery again. Mr. Karidis states: It is important for patients to know that it takes 12-18 months for them to see exactly what their nose will appear. Until then, while its still mending after surgery, they just get a glimmer of the result. They have to be patient. |
