Rhinoplasty, commonly referred as nose job or nose surgery, aims to change the proportion and the appearance of the nose as well as improve its function. It can be done for both medical and cosmetic reasons. Nose job may alter the width and the size of the nose, nasal tip, nostrils, deviation and nose profile. Rhinoplasty makes it possible for people to have better- looking facial harmony. How is Rhinoplasty Performed? Nose surgery is in most cases performed under general anaesthesia; therefore, a patient does not feel any pain during the surgery as s/he sleeps through the procedure which may take up to three hours. Most people undergoing cosmetic surgery are anxious about post-operation scars. However, advanced rhinoplasty techniques ensure that no scars are visible after the operation. Incisions during the operation are made either inside the nostrils or across columella, which is the tissue strip between the nostrils. After the incisions, bone and cartilage are reached and they are partly removed, augmented or rearranged, thereby resulting in an attractive nose. Did you know that the oldest discussions about nose surgery date back to 3000 BC in Old Kingdom of Egypt? What is Septoplasty? Nasal septum refers to the wall which separates the nostrils. Nasal septum deviation is a condition which occurs when nasal septum is off the centre and it is one of the most frequent disorders of the nose. Deviated septum results in breathing impairment. Septoplasty is the name of the procedure which straightens a deviated nasal septum. As a result of septoplasty, breathing through the nose is significantly improved. During septoplasty, an incision is made inside the nostril and deviated parts of the bone and cartilage are reshaped or removed. Rhinoplasty and septoplasty procedures can be combined, which is called septo-rhinoplasty or rhino-septoplasty. Septo-rhinoplasty enhances the appearance of the nose as well as improves the airway. Recovery Rhinoplasty patients stay for one night at the hospital and discharged next morning. Absorbable stitches inside the nose do not need to be removed, however the external stitches as well as the nasal dressings and splints need to be removed in five to seven days. Most patients do not experience significant pain; however, nasal breathing would be limited during a few days after the surgery. Bruising and swelling around the eyes may occur in the case of few patients but they ease off within a week. Swelling after the operation subsides in a few weeks but nasal contour may take up to a year to fully refine. Although it may take up to a year for the outcome of the surgery to fully show itself, the result of rhinoplasty is usually permanent.
