Rhinoplasty Has The Potential Of Being One Of The Most Rewarding And High Impact Cosmetic Procedures
Some plastic surgeons specialize on a variety of ethnicities, including the Hispanic nose, the Middle Eastern nose, the Asian nose, and the African American nose. Each ethnic group has unique features that need to be respected when performing ethnic rhinoplasty. Otherwise, the results will look unnatural and unattractive. Plastic surgeons have performed extensive research on the topic of ethnic noses and have published their work.
Revision rhinoplasty is a special part of some plastic surgeon's rhinoplasty practices. This is a specialty within a specialty. Patients with cosmetic or functional (trouble breathing) problems following primary rhinoplasty often seek these plastic surgeons for resolution of these issues. These patients are often very emotional about there condition and often travel from around the country in hopes of correcting their nasal deformity. Secondary rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty are often the most challenging cases. They require the highest level of planning, judgment and surgical expertise. Often these cases require a wide range of techniques including, reconstruction with multiple grafts and occasionally rib grafts.
In certain scenarios, innovative and simple techniques can be used to correct the problem without the need for surgery.
Your plastic surgeon will spend a significant amount of time discussing the aesthetic and functional concerns you have with your nose. He or she will ask you very specific questions about what exactly bothers you about your nose and what your expectations are. Your history will be reviewed in detail. A detailed and complete nasal and facial exam will be conducted in conjunction with state of the art digital imaging. Digital imaging helps establish a clear communication regarding the expectations and what can be surgically obtained. Following careful assessment and further discussion, a unique treatment plan is developed.
One to two weeks prior to the surgery, a final consultation is scheduled in order to review the surgical plan and make sure all of your questions are answered. At that point pre and post-operative instructions will be given.
Rhinoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure that takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to perform.
The recovery time generally takes between 1 to 2 weeks. A splint is placed on the nose which will be removed in one week. Some plastic surgeons' patients do not have nasal packing, which significantly reduces post operative discomfort. Following surgery, several post-operative visits will be made during the first 2 weeks. Thereafter, you will be seen every 2-3 months during the first year and then annually. The nose continues to look better during the first year. Plastic surgeons believe it is important to maintain a long term relationship with all their rhinoplasty patients in order to ensure an optimal and successful outcome.
Rhinoplasty has the potential of being one of the most rewarding and high impact cosmetic procedures. The outcome of a nose job relies heavily on accurate patient selection, pre-operative communication, and precise techniques required to produce naturally enhancing results that leave the face more attractive.
