Nose Job

What is Rhinoplasty?

The nose is commonly considered the most prominent facial feature. A nose that complements the other features provides balance, while one that is too large or oddly shaped can make you uncomfortable with your overall appearance.

The term “rhino” refers to the nose and the word “plasty” means to mold, form, or shape. Rhinoplasty is a surgery that transforms the nose’s appearance or improves the way it functions. Cosmetic doctors perform rhinoplasty to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose or to modify a disfigurement caused by a traumatic event or birth defect.

Realistic Expectations

Ideal Rhinoplasty Patients

If you feel that your nose doesn’t complement your other facial features, perhaps due to cosmetic reasons or an abnormal appearance, then you may be a good rhinoplasty candidate. Any healthy person who has a significant nose irregularity, such as a dorsal hump or flared nostrils, can be a good candidate for the surgical procedure.

Those who are considering nasal surgeries, especially if addressing issues like a broken nose or breathing difficulties, should do so with the understanding that the surgical procedure is designed to provide improvement instead of perfection. Both female and male rhinoplasty candidates should be in good physical health and emotionally stable. They must also be at least 15 years old or older to ensure that the nose has finished growing.

What Can I Expect During My Rhinoplasty Consultation?

Before the rhinoplasty procedure

Board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Hojjat will schedule a meeting with you to discuss your aesthetic goals. He will ask you what it is about your nose that bothers you and what changes you’d like to see.

During your rhinoplasty consultation

Dr. Hojjat will assess the shape and functionality of your nose about your other facial features to develop the best surgical technique. He will also discuss the risks of plastic surgeries and the amount of recovery time that you can expect.

Your rhinoplasty treatment plan

Rhinoplasty surgeon, Dr. Hojjat will use computer-imaging technology to show you different options for your results. He will also let you know if your nose job request is realistic. Although nose surgery is highly customizable, it does have some limitations.

It’s important to note that you can have your cosmetic surgeon complete other plastic surgeries at the same time as your nose job. For instance, Dr. Hojjat can enhance the shape of your chin or contour your cheeks during the same surgery.

The Procedure

What Happens During the Rhinoplasty Procedure?

Rhinoplasty surgery is usually an outpatient surgical procedure, so you shouldn’t have to spend the night in a hospital. Before your surgery begins, you’ll be given a local or general anesthetic.

Anesthesia Options in Rhinoplasty

With a local anesthetic, you will also receive sedation. Your nose will be numbed completely, so you’ll stay relaxed. With your nose numbed, you won’t feel any pain during the surgical procedure. If you opt for general anesthesia, you’ll sleep through your nose surgery.

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

When it comes to nose-reshaping surgery, two basic types are available, open or closed. During a closed rhinoplasty procedure, Dr. Hojjat will only make incisions within the interior of your nostrils, ensuring minimal impact on nasal bones and less likelihood of visible scars.

Surgical Techniques and Incisions

During an open surgical procedure, Dr. Hojjat will make incisions within the nostrils and along their base. This gives him greater visibility during the plastic surgeries, allowing for precise adjustments to the facial appearance. Scars from an open rhinoplasty typically heal very well, often leaving no visible scars. During the initial consultation, Dr. Hojjat will evaluate your nose and discuss your goals, including the desire for a perfect nose, to determine which option is better suited for you.

Nose Reshaping Process and Goals

For the procedure itself, Dr. Hojjat will make the needed incisions to transform your nose’s cartilage, tissue, and bones. He may need to remove extra tissue and transfer cartilage grafts from your septum to the end of your nose for enhancement purposes, focusing on achieving a perfect nose that harmonizes with your overall facial appearance.

Once the reshaping process is complete, taking special care to realign the nasal bones and ensure a natural look, Dr. Hojjat will close the incisions, and you’ll be sent to the recovery room. This meticulous attention to detail is vital in enhancing not just the nose but the entire facial appearance, leading to results that exceed just a perfect nose but also contribute to a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing face.

Recovering from Nose Surgery

After rhinoplasty, the area around your nose and eyes will swell, and you may also experience bruising. This is a normal part of the healing process. To manage discomfort, your doctor may prescribe pain medications.

Because of the initial swelling and bruising, it’s wise to schedule the surgery during a work vacation or when you have a long gap between social engagements. Rhinoplasty patients will need to wait two or three weeks before returning to their daily activities. Minor swelling around and in your nose may persist for as long as a year, but it’s usually subtle enough that only you will notice.

To protect your nose job results following plastic surgeries, your doctor will safeguard your nose with a nasal splint. During the early recovery stages, it’s crucial to keep your head elevated, as this aids in reducing swelling and promotes a smoother healing process.

Most people heal from a nose job quickly, but it’s vital to avoid strenuous activity initially, even if you feel up to it. Post-rhinoplasty, engaging in physical activity should be approached cautiously. You should not participate in vigorous activities for three weeks to ensure optimal healing and to prevent any complications.

Cost of Rhinoplasty

The cost of rhinoplasty can vary significantly, influenced by factors such as the chosen rhinoplasty approach, the location of the cosmetic surgery, and the expertise of the highly skilled plastic surgeon performing the procedure. During the initial consultation, the surgeon will discuss the patient’s surgical goals to determine the most suitable method for achieving an attractive appearance. This personalized plan influences the overall cost, as more complex procedures or additional requirements can increase the expense. Patients should consider these variables when budgeting for their rhinoplasty to ensure they can meet both their financial and aesthetic objectives.

Possible Complications

What are the Potential Risks and Complications of Rhinoplasty?

As with other plastic surgeries, rhinoplasty is associated with some risks and potential complications. General risks include bleeding, scarring, and infection, which are common risks with nose surgery.

Following the nose job surgery, you may experience numbness, pain, or skin discoloration. Poor wound healing is another concern, where the wound may not heal as quickly or efficiently as expected. Damage to the septum, which can lead to functional issues, is another possible complication, as are skin problems. Occasionally, patients may require revision surgery to correct or improve upon these complications or to address signs of surgery that are aesthetically displeasing.

FAQ

FAQs about Rhinoplasty

What is the best way to sleep following rhinoplasty?

Your surgeon will advise you to sleep with your head elevated. Try to avoid falling asleep on your side because you may inadvertently move in ways that constrict the nasal area. However, if you wake up on your side, don’t panic. The cast should keep your surgeon’s cosmetic treatment efforts intact.

How long will the swelling last?

For most patients, major swelling lasts for two to three weeks after the surgery, but this is often individual to the patient. However, it’s not uncommon to experience residual swelling even months after surgery, which gradually subsides to reveal the refined shape of the nose. The length of time that swelling lasts is usually based on your general overall health, age, and whether or not you smoke.

What is the best age for a rhinoplasty procedure?

For women, the best time to seek rhinoplasty is when they are 17 or older, and for men, when they are 18 or older. Ultimately, the ideal rhinoplasty age depends on a person’s physical and emotional maturity.

If I gain weight, will it affect the results of my rhinoplasty?

No, weight gain should not affect your rhinoplasty results. The tissue of your nose contains a few fat deposits. Because of this, weight fluctuations are unlikely to change the nasal structure.

Will the results of my rhinoplasty last?

As long as your rhinoplasty procedure occurs after your nose has stopped growing, the results of the cosmetic treatment should be permanent. Most people’s noses stop growing once they have reached their late teens.
