What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is considered to adjust the shape or slope of the nose through a specific configuration on the nasal bones.

Why are rhinoplasty procedures performed?

You often find rhinoplasty and the problems that this procedure can correct are many, including:

• Narrow nostrils that hinder breathing.
• Broken nose.
• Congenital problems in the nose.
• A certain quantity in the shape of the nose, such as the slope, size and angle of the nasal bone.

Am I suitable for rhinoplasty?

Although there is no specific appropriate age for rhinoplasty, between 18 and 40 years is considered an ideal age for the procedure.

If your nose is slightly broken or its shape changes:

• If the fracture results in a change in the position of the nasal bones or cartilage, the doctor may be able to return it to its correct position manually
• If the fracture has damaged your nasal septum — the middle part of your nose that separates the nostrils — your breathing may feel blocked or you may feel like you have nasal congestion. The doctor may recommend reconstructive surgery.

Types of rhinoplasty

Nasal Reconstruction:

This procedure is used in cases in which the patient loses his nose, or suffers from bone and cartilage deformities. So it needs to add bones and cartilage to highlight the external shape of the nose.

Nose reduction:

In most cases, rhinoplasty is performed in order to reduce the nose or make it appear better.

Septoplasty:

It is an operation to treat a deformed nasal septum, which affects breathing and causes headaches. In this procedure, the nasal septum is modified so that it is in a better position for breathing without any obstruction causing nasal obstruction.

Secondary Rhinoplasty:

It is used if the desired results are not obtained in the previous operation
Rhinoplasty with threads: Two types of threads are used in rhinoplasty with threads, which are very thin threads used to sew the tissues inside the nose to rejuvenate the nose without risks, and to reduce the nose.

How are rhinoplasty performed?

Before

performing plastic surgery Plastic surgery is performed with a surgeon who specializes in the field of rhinoplasty for a reason, where he discusses the patient through the execution, determines by examining the nose piercing, and ensures that there is no problem with the nasal option.

After

hearing the patient’s three expectations regarding the appearance he lost, the doctor selected different options for rhinoplasty, which was done with the help of a computer through presentation.

Rhinoplasty operations

• Are made through the final space between cartilage, bone and skin so that the surgeon chooses to sculpt the bones or remove some parts or tissues to obtain the desired result.
• The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes one to two hours to store.
• In cases where surgery is performed, a plaster splint is placed on the nose for two weeks. Chronic nasal plugs are also worn longer for a longer period of time.
• You can return to normal life three days after the operation, and activity about a month after the operation.
• Most of the time the correct change and results can be observed smoothly. However, this usually happened at the end of the surgery six months after it was performed.
