Rhinoplasty surgery

What is rhinoplasty?

A nose job, also known as a rhinoplasty, is a procedure which improves shape and function of the nose, by modifying bone or/and cartilage. Rhinoplasty can enhance aesthetic appearance as well as breathing function.
A rhinoplasty should be considered by patients who are unsatisfied with their nose size, shape or width, or those who have visible humps, wide or asymmetrical nostrils. Rhinoplasty can also help patients with obstructed airways by adjusting a deviated septum, which is a common cause of many breathing problems.
During rhinoplasty a patient is usually put under general anesthesia. Therefore, the patient will have to stay in a hospital overnight. 

Who is a proper candidate?

Different rhinoplasty techniques

During consultation, a patient and a surgeon should define specific expectations and goals. The surgeon will suggest the most suitable technique and inform the patient about the plan of the surgery in more detail.

Function vs. aesthetics

A functional rhinoplasty is usually performed in order to restore breathing through the nose. Reconstruction of obstructed airways might be required because of congenital reasons (meaning that it is hereditary) or after traumas, such as a nose fracture. Because nostrils tend to narrow with age, older people might have difficulty breathing, and thus, might need a reconstruction of their airways.

On the other hand an aesthetic rhinoplasty focuses mainly on improving the visual appearance of the nose. This includes reducing bulbous nose tip, hump, narrowing wide nostrils, reducing the size of the nose, or vice versa, augmenting the nose.

Revision rhinoplasty

A revision rhinoplasty is needed when a patient is unsatisfied with the results of a former nose surgery and desires additional improvements. Note that before undergoing a revision rhinoplasty, the nose should be completely healed, there should be no signs of inflammation caused by previous surgery and scar tissue formation is complete. Depending on each case, a surgeon will reset the nasal bones and reposition cartilage. Airway obstruction can also be cleared by adjusting the position of the internal nose structures. It’s best if the revision surgery is performed by the surgeon who performed the first surgery.

Preparing for rhinoplasty

The patient might have very specific expectations for the outcome of the surgery, therefore, a thorough discussion with a surgeon is necessary, so each case could be evaluated individually.

Recovering after rhinoplasty

Depending on the technique chosen for the procedure, a patient will have either  dissolvable or non-dissolvable sutures inside the nose or columella. The dissolvable sutures are supposed to dissolve after approximately a week and do not require to be removed. If the stitches are non-dissolvable, they should be removed by the surgeon 7-8 days after the surgery. The patient should also expect to have external and internal nasal dressings which will be placed inside and outside of the nose. A small gauze is placed right under the nose so that it absorbs any blood discharge, which is normal and common after rhinoplasty surgeries. Bear in mind that in the first few days after surgery, an absorbent gauze is required to be changed as often as 10 to 20 times. Nasal dressings should be removed in 5-7 days.

Patient’s upper part of the face is likely to be swollen, especially the eyes and the cheeks. Approximately 2 weeks off work are recommended to rest and heal properly because swelling and discomfort usually subsides in that time. After two weeks post-surgery swelling is usually not as noticeable and should not interfere with any daily tasks. Final results can be appreciated after residual swelling is gone, which usually takes about 6-12 months.

It is not recommended to wear eyeglasses since it puts pressure and disrupts the blood flow. In order to reduce swelling overnight, it is advisable to elevate one’s head with multiple pillows.

The patient should avoid bending forward and lifting heavy objects or children and high-intensity activities should be limited for at least 8 weeks after surgery.

Combinations with other procedures

Combining several procedures in one surgery is a good way to lower travel expenses and reduce combined recovery time. Bear in mind that when a few procedures are performed together a risk of complications and infection also gets higher. For a successful procedure and recovery it is crucial to choose a surgeon who is well experienced in all procedures that will be performed. Common combinations are:

A straightening of the deviated nasal septum can be performed in combination with improving the visual appearance of the nose;

Although it is possible to have rhinoplasty combined with breast surgery, there is a bigger chance of infection. Each case should be discussed individually in order to evaluate any specific risks;

A nose surgery and a facial improvement is a common combination of the procedures, that allows to achieve a more youthful and proportioned appearance in one surgery.

If a prospective patient would like to improve a few areas of their body and have a combined surgery, for more specific information they should consult with a qualified surgeon. The surgeon will evaluate the patient’s anatomical, physical features, overall health and medical history, and will recommend possible combinations that will best fit the patient’s needs.
