Nose surgery. Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty usually lasts between one and two hours and is usually carried out under general anesthesia, although it can also be performed under local anesthesia and sedation. The patient normally spends one night in the hospital after the intervention.

The procedure of a rhinoplasty consists of separating the skin from its support of bone and cartilage to sculpt that support and then adapt the skin to this new shape. The surgeon can do the rhinoplasty from inside the nose with small incisions inside the nostrils or from the outside making a small incision.

At the end of the rhinoplasty, a plaster and plugs will be placed in the nostrils to preserve the new shape of the nose and stabilize the nasal septum.

After rhinoplasty

After the rhinoplasty you will notice the swollen face and nose discomfort but these discomforts will disappear with the passage of days and medication. During the first day you should lie down with your head elevated and for the next 3 or 4 days sleep with your head slightly incorporated. The bruising and swelling will disappear almost completely after 2 weeks.

A day or two after the rhinoplasty the plugs will be removed from the nose and after a week or two at the most the plaster and stitches will be removed. Two days later you will feel much better and after a week you can return to normal activity. In any case, you will have to avoid some physical activities during the first weeks after rhinoplasty, such as swimming or jogging, and you should be careful when you touch your nose and wash your face.

Any intervention presents risks of complications, such as infection or reactions to anesthesia, but in a rhinoplasty they are not common and are usually of little importance. It is very important to follow the instructions of the surgeon and his team before and after rhinoplasty to minimize the possibility of these complications. After a rhinoplasty there are usually no visible scars but in some cases small red dots appear in the area.

The results

Our greatest success is to ensure that after rhinoplasty the patient feels comfortable with his new facial harmony, in a natural way, without showing an “operated” nose.

The first days after a rhinoplasty can be difficult since you will have discomfort and you will not appreciate the results. However, your appearance will gradually improve and after a week or two you will be very well with hardly any visible effects of the intervention.
