Rhinoplasty is surgery that modifies the shape of the nose, and is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in plastic surgery.
Each rhinoplasty is a different case that must be evaluated in all its structures. It is not always about reducing size, but rather adapting it to the features and characteristics of each patient. With this surgery, many problems can be eliminated or corrected, both aesthetic and clinical.
This procedure is compatible for both male and female patients.
The most common intervention is what we call closed rhinoplasty. It is performed through incisions inside the nose in such a way that there is no visible external scar.
Through these the surgeon can carve and shape the bones and cartilage of the nose, configuring a new structure. Subsequently, the skin is retracted and adapted until the desired shape is achieved.
In cases that are particularly difficult, particularly large deformities, the so-called open rhinoplasty will be performed. In this type of intervention, a small scar will remain at the base of the spine.
Once the intervention is finished, we proceed to a mild nasal packing and a plaster splint is placed on the nose. In the days that follow, edema and inflammation of the eyelids may occur.
The nasal packing is removed on the second day. The splint between 7 – 10 days.
Until the removal of the splint, no special care is required except for logical medical control. For the recovery of the skin, we will perform drainage for the edema.
