Rhinoplasty is a nasal reconstruction procedure which focuses on regaining the proper form and function of the nose. It not only corrects the deformities but also improves the overall facial appearance. As such, plastic surgeons who specialize in this procedure undertake it both as a corrective and an aesthetic procedure depending upon the specific requirements of their patients.
Modern Rhinoplasty Offer Good Results
Rhinoplasty allows for natural and stable results which are quite unlike older techniques that constituted the removal of tissues for surgery which in turn resulted in nasal collapse. Modern rhinoplasty can correct aesthetic complaints of the nose such as a high, wide, narrow or low nasal bridge, a bulbous tip or a tip that is too high or low, or for that matter a nose that is simply to large in appearance.
Patients who opt for rhinoplasty undergo a thorough evaluation during which the plastic surgeon would look for any underlying problems which could be simultaneously corrected during the operative procedure. The specialist would discuss the case and the procedure at length so that the patients would have a clear understanding of what to expect after it is successfully performed.
Today, some plastic surgeons combine septoplasty and rhinoplasty to attain the best results. It corrects the septum of the nasal cavity which may have become deviated due to trauma or overgrowth. Changes brought about to the internal nasal valve and dorsal aesthetic lines would accomplish the desired results.
Recovery and Postoperative Expectations
The recovery depends on the type of surgical approach (open or closed rhinoplasty) that has been performed. One can expect swelling with minimal bruising during the post operative period, which would gradually subside. Thus rhinoplasty is an innovative cosmetic surgical procedure which can improve the appearance of your face, with results holding good for a lifetime.
