Rhinoplasty Surgery in [city_name]

Rhinoplasty is the most common type of nose surgery in [city_name], performed to correct the shape of the nose. Medically, it is called nasal reconstruction, and in common terms, it is called a nose job. Rhinoplasty can be performed for cosmetic and/or reconstructive purposes to improve or restore the form and functions of the nose along with its appearance.

The surgery involves modifying the upper part of the nose, including the bone, cartilage, and skin. In some cases, rhinoplasty is also performed to fix the issues from an injury or birth defect or improve breathing problems. Regardless of the reason why you are undergoing this surgery, it's crucial to understand the procedure, its risks, and its benefits before making the decision.

Who to Consult to Get Rhinoplasty Surgery in [city_name]?

You should consult a plastic or cosmetic surgeon for nose job surgery in [city_name]. Plastic and cosmetic surgeons are doctors who are well-trained and certified to perform rhinoplasty surgery with safety and precision. However, in certain cases, an otolaryngologist (ENT) doctor can also perform rhinoplasty after gaining ample training and experience.

How to Choose the Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon in [city_name]?

To find a board-certified surgeon for nose reshaping surgery in [city_name], follow the steps below-

  • Do some research online to find plastic or cosmetic surgeons in your area who specialize in rhinoplasty surgery.

  • Ensure that the surgeon is certified by the board and has the necessary qualifications and training.
  • Check the surgeon's website or online reviews to evaluate whether the patients are satisfied with their results.
  • Schedule a consultation with the surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations for the surgery. During the consultation, the surgeon will examine your nose and facial structure, take photographs, and discuss the surgical technique and potential risks and complications.
  • After the consultation, you should feel comfortable with the surgeon's expertise and bedside manner and be able to trust them to perform your rhinoplasty surgery safely and effectively.

By following these steps, you will be able to make an informed decision after consulting the rhinoplasty surgeon. Always make sure that you feel confident in the surgeon's skills to undergo surgery with his/her hands.

Types of Rhinoplasty

The most common types of rhinoplasty surgery in [city_name] are reduction and augmentation rhinoplasty. However, there are other types as well that address different concerns of the patient.

  • Reduction rhinoplasty: This is the most common type of rhinoplasty, which involves removing excess bone, cartilage, or soft tissue to make the nose smaller and more proportional to the face.
  • Augmentation rhinoplasty: This type of rhinoplasty involves adding tissue or implants to the nose to improve its shape and size. This is often used to correct a flat or depressed nasal bridge or to enhance the tip of the nose.
  • Ethnic rhinoplasty: This type of nose surgery is tailored to the specific facial features of different ethnic groups, such as African American, Asian, or Middle Eastern. The goal is to create a natural-looking nose that complements the patient's facial features.
  • Revision rhinoplasty: This is a secondary rhinoplasty procedure performed to correct issues from a previous rhinoplasty surgery that was unsuccessful or if the patient is unhappy with the results.
  • Post-traumatic rhinoplasty: This type of rhinoplasty is performed to repair a nose that has been damaged due to injury or trauma.
  • Functional rhinoplasty: It is performed to improve breathing by correcting structural issues such as a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or enlarged turbinates.

The most suitable type of rhinoplasty is recommended to the patient after discussing his/her goals and examining the nose.

Techniques of Rhinoplasty Surgery

There are several techniques used in rhinoplasty surgery, depending on the patient's goals and the surgeon's expertise. Two of the most common techniques are:

Open Rhinoplasty

This technique involves making a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) to access the underlying nasal structures. It provides greater visibility and control during the surgery, allowing the surgeon to make more precise modifications to the nose.

Closed Rhinoplasty

This technique involves making incisions inside the nostrils so there is no visible scarring. It's used for more minor modifications and has a quicker recovery time than open rhinoplasty.

Besides the above-mentioned techniques, there are several other techniques used for rhinoplasty that involves-

  • Cartilage grafting involves taking cartilage from another part of the body, such as the ear or rib, and using it to reshape or add structure to the nose.
  • Tip plasty focuses on reshaping and refining the nasal tip. It can involve trimming, suturing, or adding cartilage grafts to improve the tip's shape and projection.
  • Dorsal hump reduction involves removing excess bone or cartilage from the bridge of the nose to reduce a prominent hump or bump.
  • Alar base reduction involves reducing the size of the nostrils by removing the excess tissue from the base of the nose.

Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages, and your surgeon will work with you to determine the best course of action to deliver the desired outcome.

How is Rhinoplasty Surgery Performed?

Rhinoplasty surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis in a hospital. The steps will be different based on the individual needs of the patients. The general steps involved in the surgery are given below-

  • The patient is given anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and relaxed during the surgery. Typically, general anesthesia is used for the procedure. However, in some cases, local anesthesia with IV sedation may be done.
  • Depending on the technique used, the surgeon will make incisions either inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or on the outside of the nose (open rhinoplasty). In some cases, additional incisions may be made in the tissue between the nostrils (columella).
  • The surgeon will reshape the nose by removing or adding bone, cartilage, or soft tissue. This can involve reducing a hump on the bridge of the nose, refining the nasal tip, or adjusting the nostril size or position.
  • Once the necessary modifications are made, the surgeon will close the incisions with sutures and place a splint inside the nose to support the nasal bone and cartilage as it heals.
  • Nasal packing or other bandages may also be applied inside the nose to control bleeding and swelling.

The patient will be monitored in a recovery room until the anesthesia wears off. Once the patient regains consciousness, he/she will be discharged after giving a detailed post-op guide and follow-up schedule.
