Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty involves surgical approaches to the bone, cartilage and soft tissues of the nose. Assessment considers nasal appearance, breathing symptoms, facial development, general health and previous procedures. Age or a wish to change appearance alone does not establish suitability for surgery.
Who May Be Assessed for Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty involves surgical approaches to the bone, cartilage and soft tissues of the nose. Assessment considers nasal appearance, breathing symptoms, facial development, general health and previous procedures. Age or a wish to change appearance alone does not establish suitability for surgery.
At What Age Can Rhinoplasty Surgery Be Performed?
Reasons for seeking rhinoplasty assessment may include expectations about nasal shape, breathing symptoms, trauma or findings related to previous surgery. Decisions consider nasal and facial anatomy, breathing function, development, general health and individual expectations together.
The physician explains what surgery may achieve, its limitations, alternatives and risks. Not every consultation leads to surgery, and no particular appearance or result can be guaranteed.
How Is Rhinoplasty Planned for Thicker Nasal Skin?
With thicker skin, swelling may take longer to settle and nasal contours may take longer to become apparent. Planning takes individual skin and supporting-tissue characteristics into account.
Care After Rhinoplasty
Postoperative care depends on the surgery performed, supports used and individual health. Use medicines, nasal cleaning and moisturising products only as directed by the physician. Follow individual instructions about physical activity, avoiding injury to the nose and follow-up appointments.
Swelling, bruising and temporary blockage may occur; recovery varies. Contact a healthcare facility for unexpected, severe or worsening symptoms.
Results of any surgical or interventional procedure may vary between individuals. Consult your physician in detail before the procedure.
How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Rhinoplasty may use an open or closed approach. In the open approach, incisions are made in the tissue between the nostrils and inside the nose. In the closed approach, incisions are inside the nose.
The choice depends on anatomy, breathing needs, previous operations and the planned procedure. No approach is more suitable for everyone. Scarring, recovery, breathing and appearance-related outcomes vary with individual characteristics and the surgery performed.
Are Non-Surgical Nasal Procedures Possible?
Non-surgical procedures involving the nose do not have the same aims or effects as rhinoplasty and are not suitable for everyone. Suitability is determined by the physician after assessing anatomy, previous procedures, expectations and procedure-specific risks.
These procedures may also have unwanted effects and serious complications. Tell the physician about previous fillers or other procedures. Decisions should follow a detailed discussion of options and risks.
