Specialists in Rhinoplasty

Overview of Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at modifying the structure and appearance of the nose, improving both aesthetics and respiratory function. This procedure can correct various aspects, including the size, shape, angle, and proportions of the nose in relation to the rest of the face.

Evaluation and Decision Process

Before opting for rhinoplasty, it's important to consider various factors. The main signs that may indicate the need for the procedure include breathing difficulties, deviated septum, previous nasal trauma, or dissatisfaction with nose appearance. Non-surgical alternatives, such as non-surgical rhinoplasty with fillers, may be considered in specific cases.

Surgery Preparation

Proper preparation is fundamental for rhinoplasty success. This includes complete pre-operative exams, adjustments to current medication when necessary, and smoking cessation. It's also important to organize the recovery period, including transportation and post-operative care.

The Surgical Procedure

Rhinoplasty can be performed through different techniques, including closed (internal incisions) or open (small incision in the columella) approaches. The surgery typically takes between 2 to 3 hours, depending on case complexity and techniques used.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

The initial recovery period lasts about two weeks, during which you will experience swelling and possible discomfort. It's crucial to follow all post-operative instructions, including nasal dressing care, head elevation during sleep, and avoiding intense physical activities.

Surgeon selection is a crucial factor for rhinoplasty success. To ensure the best results, look for plastic surgeons with proven experience in this procedure.
