    Rhinoplasty & Tip Rhinoplasty

    Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that modifies the bone or tissue of the nose to alter its appearance. It is a very widely accepted type of plastic surgery. It can also help to correct breathing problems caused by structural flaws in the nose.

    The surgical technique is use to enhance nasal features by restoring an existing deformity and improving the look of the nose. Usually, tip rhinoplasty entails modifying the cartilage at the nose tip, which may include extraction, dissection, realigning, or augmentation to achieve the desired result.

    Possible Causes

    Most people undergo rhinoplasty for medical reasons. However, cosmetic reasons have been gaining momentum in the past few years. Apart from structural abnormalities like a deviated septum, cleft palate, rhinoplasty also helps correct structural abnormalities.

    Risk Factors

    Some of the risks associated with rhinoplasty are:

    • Anesthesia risk
    • Infection
    • Scarring
    • Skin discoloration
    • Unsatisfactory results

    Signs and Symptoms

    Rhinoplasty can address multiple concerns related to the nose including,

    • Nose size in correlation to facial balance
    • Nose width at the bridge
    • Visible depression or elevation in the bridge
    • Sagging, twisted, or swollen nose tip
    • Broad, wide, or inclined nostrils
    • Asymmetry of the nasal septum
    • Deformity caused by injuries

    Nose surgery to open an impeded airway necessitates a careful examination of the nasal formation pertaining to airflow and breathing. Adjustment of the nasal structure improves nasal orientation and corrects a distorted septum, one of the most frequent causes of breathing difficulties.

    Diagnosis

    During your early visits, the surgeon is likely to conduct the following examinations:

    • Physical examination
    • Review medical history
    • Discuss your expectation
    • Photographs
    • Imaging

Our surgeon makes an incision inside or between your nostrils while you are unconscious. They will detach the skin from your tissue or bone before beginning the reshaping process. If your new nose requires some extra cartilage, our specialist may take some from deep inside your nose or from your ear. Our doctor may apply a metal or plastic brace to your nose following surgery. While your nose revives, the brace supports to preserve its new shape.
