Rhinoplasty/Nose Aesthetics

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure which can change the size or shape of your nose. As well as cosmetic reasons, rhinoplasty may also be helpful for those who have physical irregularities that prevent them from breathing effectively. The following is a list of ways that rhinoplasty may benefit the individual:
It can reduce both the size or length of your nose
It can be used to reduce or remove a bridge or lump
It can be used to straighten your nose
It can be used to adjust the size and shape of your nostrils
It can be used to address asymmetry of the nose
It can be used to reshape the tip of your nose
It can also be used to alleviate or improve difficulties with breathing
At American Aesthetic we offer 3 different types of rhinoplasty surgery. You should contact one of our expert consultants to see which one is best for you and your needs.

1) REGULAR RHINOPLASTY

• OPEN RHINOPLASTY
This procedure involves a cut being made across the skin between the nostrils after which bone and cartilage is rearrenged to alter the shape of your nose. This type of operation will leave a small scar that disappears after time.

• CLOSED RHINOPLASTY
This procedure involves small cuts being made on the inside of your nostrils with minimal andmostly internal scarring. This procedure also takes less time to heal than open rhinoplasty. It should be kept in mind, however, that not everyone is able to have this kind of procedure.

2) SEPTORHINOPLASTY

This procedure involves the straightening of the cartilage and bone in the septum and other areas of the nose thereby removing any obstructions that impair breathing and improves airflow in the nasal cavities. As well as this, septorhinoplsty can also address any existing asymmetry of the nose and correct the outer shape of the nose

3) SECONDARY/REVISIONAL RHINOPLASTY

This procedure is a revisional procedure for those who have had rhinoplasty before and are unhappy with the results of the operation or wish to do further work on their nose. It is also recommended for those who have experienced substancial trauma to the nasal area. It may be done either using open or closed rhinoplasty procedures All rhinoplasty procedures are performed under general anaesthetic and will probably last around 2 hours on average. Recovery can last up to 12 weeks. To find which procedure is best for you, please contact one of expert consultants at American Aesthetic.

Rhinoplasty post-op care

• • After surgery you should rest in bed with your head elevated higher than your chest as this will help to reduce both bleeding and swelling.
• • Do not put ice packs or cold packs on your nose after surgery.
• • It is normal for your nose to be congested and swollen after surgery and sometime thereafter.
• • Slight bleeding and drainage of blood and mucus is quite common for a couple of days after the procedure. Your surgeon may adhere some gauze to the underside of your nose and direct you to change it at regular intervals. When you reapply the gauze to the area make sure that you do so lightly.
• • The splint and dressings that the surgeon has placed in and on your nose are removed 7 days after the operation.
• • You will experience some swelling and blackening around your eyes for 2-3 weeks after surgery.
• • The swelling of the nose takes a lot longer and in most cases it will be up to a year before all swelling has disappeared revealing the final result
• • Reducing sodium in your diet will help any swelling to go away faster.
• • For 4-6 weeks after the operation avoid strenusous activities such as sport.
• • While the bandages are still in place you should avoid having a shower; instead try taking a bath.
• • Do not blow your nose.
• • Eat food which is high in fiber such as fruit and veg so that you do not get constipated.
• • Avoid making facial expressions such as smiling and laughing.
• • Brush your teeth slowly and careful so that you limit the movement of your upper lip.
• • Wear clothes that fasten from the front and avoid clothes that require you to put them over your head
• • Do not rest glasses or sunglasses on the bridge of your nose for at least a month after surgery.
• • Avoid direct sunlight and if you can’t, make sure you wear suncream as it may cause discolouration to your nose’s skin.
