Rhinoplasty
Anesthesia: General
The incision: Endonasal (inside of the nostrils), no visible scars
Stay in clinic: 24 hours
Recovery: 8 to 10 days
What is
Rhinoplasty is the surgical treatment to modify the nose shape and size according to a rational and carefully considered demand from the patient.
Different surgical scenarios are possible: nose too long, nose too wide, nose too deep, nose too short or nasal malformation.
Before the intervention
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking or avoiding certain vitamins and medications.
If you smoke, it’s especially important to stop at least a week or two before and after surgery; smoking inhibits blood flow to the skin, and can interfere with the healing of your incision areas
The surgery
Lasts 1 to 2 hours and the surgeon begins with internal incisions under general anesthesia.
No scars will be visible, except in case of narrowing of flared nostrils.
After the surgery
Hospitalization is 24 hours.
The operation is pain-free and the splints are kept for a few days during which mouth-breathing is necessary. You will notice some swelling and bruises around the eyes that can be masked by a make up after splint removal.
Results
The result of the surgery can be seeing right away but the final appearance will take place within 12 months.
Risks
Bleeding (normal the first few days), bruising, infection or unsightly scars.
