Rhinoplasty involves repairing and / or eliminating the shape of the tip of the nose. Depending on the anatomical features and the desired result, surgery may require treatment of cartilage, soft tissues, and columella.
Thanks to the rhinoplasty of the nasal tip, you can change:
- The thickness of the area above the tip of the nose
- Protrusion of the mountain (distance from the face)
- Tip projection (angle between the upper lip and the tip of the nose)
- Position of the nasal septum
Nose tip surgery is much more complicated than it may seem at first glance. The surgeon must plan his or her activities very precisely - otherwise the result may be contrary to expectations.
The bone and cartilage structure of the nasal tip significantly influences its appearance. Failure to do so can lead to distortion of not only the shape of the tip but also the shape of the entire nose.
How is a rhinoplasty performed?
The surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia and takes 1-2-3 hours. In nasal tip plastic surgery, it’s hard to single out a single characteristic momentum - almost every surgery is unique in its own way.
In different cases, the tasks facing the surgeon are handled differently - based on the anatomical structure of the nose, the thickness and shape of the cartilage, the strength of the tissues, and other individual characteristics of the patient.
The process of preparation and recovery after surgery is not much different from traditional rhinoplasty. Smoking and many medications that affect blood clotting and suture healing should be stopped in advance and possible contraindications should be examined.
Swelling, bruising and pain may occur in the first days after rhinoplasty. Recovery takes about 1-2 weeks after surgery, after which it is advisable to protect your nose from physical impact and high blood pressure for another 2-3 weeks (especially restrictions on exercise).
How much does a rhinoplasty cost
The cost of surgery depends on the nature of the changes, the qualifications of the doctor and the prestige of the clinic, as well as a number of other factors.
