What Is Rhinoplasty?
Also known as a nose job, rhinoplasty is a surgery to change or adjust the shape of your nose by modifying the bone or the cartilage. Whether done for aesthetic or health reasons, rhinoplasty is a popular cosmetic surgery. You can for instance change the size of your nose, the shape of your nostrils, or the symmetry of the nose.
Rhinoplasty Techniques
The surgeon will cut between the nostrils to reshape the nose. Of the two options, open rhinoplasty is more common.
The surgeon will make small incisions inside the nostrils. There are some results that cannot be achieved with closed rhinoplasty.
Types Of Rhinoplasty
1. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Cosmetic rhinoplasty is done when the main consideration for the surgery is aesthetic change i.e. the patient wants the nose to have a different look. For instance, to alter the appearance of the nose which the patient feels is too small, too big, or is crooked.
Nose jobs for cosmetic reasons may involve surgery done to the bone in the nose, or to the cartilage at the base of the nose, or both.
2. Functional Rhinoplasty
The sole purpose of the surgery is to correct a breathing problem and to enable the patient to breath properly. It may also be carried out to correct any other functional problems with the patient’s nose.
3. Revision Rhinoplasty
When previous rhinoplasty procedures yield unsatisfactory results, revision rhinoplasty can offer a second chance for improvement.
How Is Rhinoplasty Done?
The patient will be given local or general anaesthesia before the procedure.
The surgeon will make small cuts inside or between the nostrils, and they will separate the skin from the cartilage or bone before reshaping them. In a situation where the new nose needs additional cartilage, the surgeon may retrieve it from the ear or deep inside the nose. However, if the procedure requires a more chiselled look, they will instead trim the existing cartilage. Lastly, they will finish the procedure by closing the incisions and dissolving stitches.
Rhinoplasty surgery may take up to about 4 hours.
