Procedure for Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty surgery is a multi-step procedure. Rhinoplasty is often done using local anaesthesia if the correction is minor or general anaesthesia for total rhinoplasty. It is a day-care procedure but at times may require an overnight observation and stay in the hospital.

Rhinoplasty is performed either using a closed procedure, where incisions are hidden inside the nose, or an open procedure, where an incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue that separates the two nostrils. Skin is gently raised allowing access to the underlying bone and cartilage. An overly large nose may be reduced by removing bone or cartilage. Sometimes surgery of the nose may require the addition of cartilage grafts. These cartilage are taken from septum, and occasionally from ear or ribs. If the septum is deviated, it can be straightened and projections inside the nose reduced to improve breathing.

Skin is re-draped over the nose and incisions are closed. A splint is placed to conform to the new shape. A nasal pack may be inserted in your nostrils for 24 hours to control bleeding. These steps followed assist us in providing the best and the most effective rhinoplasty surgery in Bangalore.

Recovery and After care

The following tips would help you in recovery after rhinoplasty-

Use of cold compresses help reduce swelling, pain and bleeding
2 pillows to keep the head elevated for 1 week after surgery
No strenuous activities for four weeks
Cleaning the nostrils with saline tipped buds and apply antiseptic cream along suture line
Nasal decongestant drops
Hot foods to be avoided for a week
Medicines as prescribed by the surgeon
Sneeze should be channeled through the mouth for 7-10 days
Sun exposure to be avoided

Mild bruises and swelling around the eyes are common after rhinoplasty. Sutures are removed after 1 week, and the splint is maintained for 10-14 days. Nasal tip swelling takes a few weeks to resolve to give the final result of a sculpted nose. Dr Sandhya would advise you to start the nasal taping for tip edema or swelling starting 2 weeks after surgery and continuing it for 6 weeks post-surgery at night.

You can start your work 1- 2 weeks after surgery once the swelling subsides on the nose.

Strenuous activity like gym workouts, sports and running is to be withheld for 4-6 weeks atleast.

Rhinoplasty Surgery in Bangalore | Types of Rhinoplasty

Revision Rhinoplasty

This is a surgical procedure done to correct any residual asymmetries or deformities after your first rhinoplasty.

You can seek a revision rhinoplasty for the following reasons

Tip asymmetry or unfavorable aesthetics of tip
Residual deviation which needs full correction and septum reconstruction
Asymmetric ala or nostril
Residual hump

Dr Sandhya is an expert in revision rhinoplasty. She would advise you to be cautious before deciding on the procedure because nose reshaping after primary surgery takes 6 months to 1 year. Ideally, it would be best to wait for a year before opting for this procedure. Discuss all the options thoroughly before going ahead with a revision surgery. Caution be noted in individuals with thicker sebaceous skin wherein the results of nose job are suboptimal. In these individuals, revision surgery can sometimes increase the tip oedema.

Non Surgical rhinoplasty / Liquid rhinoplasty

It is an outpatient injectable procedure whereby dermal fillers are injected into specific areas of the nose to bring the desired effect. It is a temporary procedure and results last for 1 to 1.5 years. It can be done if you want to:

Add volume to the nose
To correct the tip and give it more projection- in under under-projected nose
Camouflage humps on the nose
Correct deviated nose appearance

Non-surgical nose job is an excellent method to make minor changes on the nose and find out how it would look on your face. If you want long-lasting results from a nose job, surgical rhinoplasty is better.

A numbing cream is initially applied on the nose 45 minutes before the procedure. Prefilled syringes of hyaluronic acid are injected in specific areas. Mild bruising and swelling can appear which lasts only for a day or two. A gentle Cold compress is recommended. The advantages of nonsurgical rhinoplasty include - no downtime, faster recovery, no scarring, immediate results, and reversible changes. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not recommended if you are looking for permanent results, have autoimmune diseases or allergies to components of fillers, or have bleeding disorders.
