Rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose involves improving the shape and / or eliminating defects on the tip of the nose. Depending on the anatomical features and the desired result, the operation may require treatment of cartilage, soft tissues and columella.
Thanks to rhinoplasty on the tip of the nose you can change:
- The thickness of the area above the tip of the nose
- Protrusion of the tip (distance from the face)
- Projection of the tip (the angle between the upper lip and the tip of the nose)
- The position of the nasal septum
The operation on the tip of the nose is much more complicated than it may seem at first glance. The surgeon must plan his actions very precisely - otherwise the result may be exactly the opposite of expectations.
The cartilaginous structure of the tip of the nose has a significant impact on its appearance. An unsuccessful intervention can lead to distortion not only of the shape of the tip, but also of the shape of the whole nose.
How is rhinoplasty performed on the tip of the nose?
The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia and takes from 1 to 2-3 hours. It is difficult to separate typical moments in plastic surgery on the tip of the nose - almost every operation is unique in its own way.
The same tasks facing the surgeon in different cases will be solved in different ways - based on the anatomical structure of the nose, the thickness and shape of cartilage, tissue strength and other individual characteristics of the patient.
The process of preparation and recovery after surgery is not much different from conventional rhinoplasty. It is necessary to give up smoking and a number of drugs that affect blood clotting and stitch healing, as well as undergo a medical examination to identify possible contraindications.
Swelling, bruising and pain may occur in the first days after rhinoplasty. Recovery after surgery takes about 1-2 weeks, after which it is recommended to protect the nose from physical exposure and high blood pressure for another 2-3 weeks (especially restricting sports),
How much does rhinoplasty cost?
The prices for the operation depend on the nature of the changes, the qualification of the doctor and the prestige of the clinic, as well as a number of other factors.
