Service Information
Surgical Procedure
The
incisions are placed on the rim of the alar of nose. Soft tissues
of the nose are then separated from the underlying structures, the
bone and cartilage are then reshaped and the skin re-draped over the
surface. Patients who have a deviated septum may benefit by correction
of this problem at the time of surgery.
Duration of Operation
Two
hours
Risks and Complications
When
rhinoplasty is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications
are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, there is always a
possibility of complications, including infection, nosebleed, or a
reaction to the anesthesia. You can reduce your risks by closely following
your surgeon's instructions both before and after surgery.
After
surgery, small burst blood vessels may appear as tiny red spots on
the skin's surface; these are usually minor but may be permanent.
As for scarring, when rhinoplasty is performed from inside the nose,
there is no visible scarring at all; when an "open" technique
is used, or when the procedure calls for the narrowing of flared nostrils,
the small scars on the base of the nose are usually not visible.
After Care
The
nose will be covered with either plaster of Paris, or a light metal
or plastic splint to maintain the position of the nasal bones.
