How is Rhinoplasty Surgery Performed?
Before the introduction of rhinoplasty, when a person was unhappy with the size or shape of their nose there was nothing they could do about it. However, given the great leaps society has made in terms of medical advancements, there is plenty that can be done to correct the nose with cosmetic rhinoplasty. Whether a person’s nose is hooked, misshapen, protruding, or even just too large, surgeons are able to correct these issues with a routine procedure.
Today people don’t need to feel uncomfortable about their problems. They can take control of their appearance and their life by reaching out to a surgeon for a safe and effective cosmetic procedure.
Before Surgery Care
Once you have made the decision to speak with a surgeon about cosmetic rhinoplasty you should contact their office and make an appointment for an initial consultation. During this consultation the surgeon will examine your nose and facial structure and provide you with information to see if your desired outcome is feasible. If everything sounds good and you feel comfortable about proceeding with the surgery, you will be given a package of information along with the necessary medication that you should take to reduce inflammation and prevent a bacterial infection from developing.
Surgical Procedures
On the day of surgery you will meet the surgeon at the hospital and will be taken to an operating room where you will be prepared for surgery by the hospital’s medical technicians. Once this is complete, the surgeon will enter the room along with the anaesthesiologist and you will be sedated in preparation for the procedure. Next the surgeon will make an incision and begin to shape your nasal bone and the surrounding cartilage in order to sculpt the desired look agreed upon during your initial consultation. Finally, the surgeon will stitch you back up and bandage your nose before admitting you to the recovery ward where you will be taken off the sedative and allowed to rest and recover.
After Surgery Care
After you have left the hospital you should continue taking your medicine as directed and be sure to continue going to all your medical appointments. During these appointments, the surgeon will examine your nose and evaluate your recovery process to ensure that you are healing well without any complications. After you have been cleared, you can enjoy the rest of your life with your new nose.
