The nose is an integral and important part of the face, significantly affecting our beauty and aesthetic appearance. In this article we will analyze how you can correct small and large imperfections in the shape of the nose with rhinoplasty.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty has been used in plastic surgery since the late 19th century and is a fairly well-studied method of nasal correction. First, it has a cosmetic effect: it evens out both congenital defects in the shape of the nose, nostrils or nasal septum, and those acquired as a result of trauma. And secondly, it has a therapeutic effect, as the curved shape of the nose often leads to major breathing problems and respiratory diseases.
Despite its knowledge and popularity, the surgical technique is quite complex and requires a responsible approach not only from the doctor but also from the patient. First of all, before the procedure it is necessary to conduct a detailed consultation with the doctor and all medical examinations that he prescribes. Until computed tomography, if necessary. It is essential that! Because in the presence of significant contraindications for operations of this type, you can get irreversible side effects for your health. A few weeks before the operation it is necessary to exclude drug use, not to smoke and drink alcohol.

The success of the operation directly depends on the professionalism and experience of the doctor. The shape of the nose, as well as the surgical intervention in the process of its change, are not only of great cosmetic importance, but also have a significant impact from a medical point of view. The different parts of the nose are closely interconnected with the entire respiratory system as a whole.
Therefore, this procedure requires a thorough preliminary examination of both the nose itself and the facial structures associated with it. And any manipulations by the doctor must be clear and checked so as not to lead to undesirable consequences for the patient's health. As a result, avoid repeated surgery. Therefore, when choosing a clinic, you should not put the price of the procedure itself in the foreground. Pay special attention to the qualifications and examinations of the doctor.
The moment of dissatisfaction with their appearance after the operation is practically excluded. Today, every clinic has the opportunity for computer modeling and choosing the shape of the nose that suits you. You can see with your own eyes how you will take care of the procedure and make your own adjustments.
Important tip:consult your doctor before making a final decision. Perhaps your unsatisfactory appearance is not affected by the shape of the nose, but completely different parts of the face are subject to correction or correction. In case there are no visible defects and damages, there is even a possibility that the dissatisfaction with oneself has a purely psychological aspect. In both cases, the visible result of the procedure will be rather negative. Therefore, approach the question responsibly.
At what age can rhinoplasty of the nose be done?
Nasal correction procedures are not recommended until the age of 18 or better before the age of 20. This is due to the fact that before this age the process of formation of nasal cartilage takes place. And by the age of 20, they are fully formed. It is also not recommended to perform the procedure in patients over 40. At this age, the process of tissue healing is much slower and the operation will be more complicated. Nasal correction is contraindicated in patients with diabetes, all types of oncology, cardiovascular disease, as well as people with poor blood clotting.
Types of rhinoplasty of the nose
The rhinoplasty procedure is open and closed, depending on what needs to be corrected. With closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nose and no scars remain on the surface of the skin. The open type is used in cases when it is impossible to perform the entire amount of work agreed in the operational plan. The formed scars practically disappear after 1-2 months.
Recovery period after surgery
Rhinoplasty, like any surgery, has its own recovery period. This is short-lived, but has its unpleasant consequences. Mild nasal pain is possible in the first days. You will also need to breathe through your mouth because of special tampons, which are then removed. In addition, slight bleeding may occur for 2-3 days. But this is normal and you should not be afraid.
After the operation, a special plaster is applied to the patient, which has a fixing and protective function. After about a week, this plaster is removed and the sutures are removed. The swelling under the eyes will disappear after about 2-3 weeks. Well, you can evaluate the end result of the surgeon's work no earlier than 6 months.
Finally, a few months after rhinoplasty, you should be extremely careful not to exercise or exercise and get plenty of rest. It is also not recommended to wear glasses.
