Rhinoplasty

While there is no upper age limit for having rhinoplasty, patients may be advised
to wait until they are 16 (when the nose is fully developed) before considering
undergoing rhinoplasty.

Sometimes breathing problems related to
the internal nasal structures can be
corrected at the same time as nose
reshaping. It is important to have a clear
idea of how you would like your nose to look
as well as to know there are some
limitations to cosmetic nasal surgery.

Your plastic surgeon may ask whether you
have difficulty breathing through your nose,
suffer from allergies or use nasal spray
excessively.

In evaluating you for rhinoplasty, your plastic surgeon will examine your nose both
internally and externally. Skin quality as well as the size and shape of your nose
must be carefully studied. Sometimes, chin augmentation may be suggested so
that a more harmonious facial balance can be achieved.

With rhinoplasty, work is done on the
cartilage and bone that form the structure of
your nose. Sometimes, certain bones may
need to be altered in order to make your
nose look narrower and straighter.

If your nose needs to be augmented, this
can be accomplished using cartilage from
your nose or cartilage from another part of
the body. The skin and soft tissues will
re-position themselves over the new form of
your nose.

In most cases, the incisions will be placed
inside your nose so they will not be visible.
If the base of the nose is narrowed or the
nostrils reduced, small pieces of skin below
the nostrils will be removed.

When external incisions are recommended
they are placed in well hidden areas as the
crease where the nose and cheek join or
where the nose and the lip join.


Skin numbness after rhinoplasty may occur but is usually temporary.
Occasionally, extra surgery may be necessary to refine the result.

Bruising is mostly gone after a week and you can use concealing makeup if you
wish. Swelling, however, can last a number of weeks or months though residual
swelling usually affects just the nasal tip.
