Every day, rhinoplasty attracts more and more interested people, everyone has their own reasons: someone wants to look more spectacular, and someone is forced to do a nose job because of its deformation or due to nasal breathing disorders. Rhinoplasty of the nose is a jewelry process, because during the operation the doctor works with different tissues: skin, soft tissues, cartilage, bones. This is a complex operation that requires careful preparation, fine work and extensive experience of the surgeon to calculate what the nose will look like in years to come. Nasal plastic surgery is performed in a specialized clinic, under general anesthesia and local anesthesia. The main purpose of rhinoplasty – to achieve an aesthetic appearance, while maintaining nasal breathing or rhinoseptoplasty with the restoration of nasal breathing. The operation lasts a little more than 2 hours. There are two methods of this operation: “Open” rhinoplasty. An external incision is made on the skin of the nasal septum (at its narrowest point) sometimes, it is necessary to make a couple of skin incisions at the base of the nostrils. If you need to fix a bump, the doctor uses tools to remove the bone, creating a new shape of the nose. Scars from incisions are almost invisible. “Closed” rhinoplasty. To be carried out by means of intranasal incisions. All manipulations take place inside the nasal cavity, one incision is made in each nostril. Next, the skin is separated from the cartilage and bone tissue, the shape or size of the nose is corrected, followed by the restoration of the skin. What you need to know about the postoperative period after the operation “nose plastic surgery”? The first few days after surgery, stationary mode is recommended. There is swelling of the nose and eyes, a possible decrease in sensitivity in the area of surgery, nasal congestion, pain, hematomas pass within two weeks. After 2 weeks the nose has an acceptable appearance. In most cases, the patient can go to work in 5 days. For 7-10 days a tight bandage-sticker “butterfly” is applied, it is necessary to prevent complications. Within 3-4 months, swelling of the outer tissues of the nose may persist, but visually it is not visible. What should be avoided during the rehabilitation period?
