What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure performed to change the size and shape of your nose. Of late, the process has evolved to offer more than cosmetic benefits. Complex rhinoplasty procedures can now help improve nasal function and even help with breathing issues that disturb sleep and wellbeing. In fact, it is now possible to even reconstruct a nose for patients after a traumatic injury or illness.

While rhinoplasty is performed on adults, in some cases it is performed in children as well. For instance, cleft palate repair is best done on babies between 9 to 14 months of age.

The rhinoplasty process involves modifying the nasal cartilages and bones or adding tissue to improve the overall appearance. Nasal fractures can be repaired using rhinoplasty. In some cases, the size and shape of the nostrils can be altered, any hump in the nose can be removed, or even the overall size and projection of the nose can be changed.

Not all rhinoplasty procedures are invasive; some procedures can be done in-office when the patient is awake. For instance, hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to change the shape and size of the nose. Nose surgery cost in India varies depending on the procedure performed and the expertise of the surgeon performing the operation. Call us at +91 4652 228056 to discuss rhinoplasty price in India.

What Are The Different Types Of Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty surgeries can be open on closed, depending on the preference of the surgeon and the goals of the surgery. It is for the surgeon to decide if the procedure can be performed open or closed, based on the difficulty and the degree of correction required.

Open Rhinoplasty

This is preferred in surgeries where the cartilage and fat grafts must be placed strategically to avoid nasal deviation and correct abnormal asymmetries. Open rhinoplasty offers a better visual field, allowing the surgeon better scope for nasal manipulation. It is easier for the surgeon to make precise cuts or manage delicate adjustments in the functional section. Similarly, it is easier to place grafts using open rhinoplasty.

The scar from an open rhinoplasty can become practically invisible in a few months, while the stitches can be removed in 5 to 7 days.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Procedures that aren’t too difficult or those that require minor modifications are done through closed rhinoplasty. Also in cases where facial asymmetry is minor, closed rhinoplasty is preferred. Patients prefer this procedure because there’s less scarring. The procedure is performed by making incisions inside the nose, leaving little or no scars after the surgery. These incisions are used to carve the bone and cartilage to achieve the desired effect. For instance, changes in the nasal tip can bring about facial harmony. The incisions are closed with resorbable points. Adhesives are placed on the back of the nose and plugs are placed inside the nostrils. In some cases, plasters are not required.

Procedures, where the size of the nose is reduced, is called reduction rhinoplasty. Patients can either choose to reduce the overall size of the nose or prefer to focus on one specific area on the nose. On the other hand, patients looking to build their nasal tips are suggested augmentation rhinoplasty. Patients who’ve undergone trauma through accident or surgery for cancer, are suggested restorative rhinoplasty restore tissues and receive grafts from other parts of the body. Surgeries to fix a deviated nasal septum are called septoplasty surgery.

Revision rhinoplasty in India is quite common – it involves repairing a nose that was already operated upon, thereby improving its form and function. Similarly, procedures done to reduce the size of the turbinates is called turbinoplasty.

What Happens During The Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty procedures are performed under anesthesia. Dentophobia or fear of dentists and the dentists’ chair is real and crippling. If you are afraid, speak to your dentist about alleviating your fears using gas and some intravenous medication. Most rhinoplasty in India is done using local anesthesia, except for complicated cases, where a more detailed procedure is required. During the surgery, we monitor the patient continuously to check pulse and oxygen saturation.

What Happens After Rhinoplasty?

Most rhinoplasty surgeries are same-day procedures – patients can go home after the anesthesia wears off completely and the patient does not feel nauseated or groggy. We also advise patients to sleep with their heads on an elevated pillow. Complete recovery could take a week or 10 days, depending on the complexity of the surgery. Patients may notice swelling on their nose, cheek, or upper lip, and eyes for a few days after surgery. This is normal and can be reduced using an ice pack. If a nasal cast has been placed, this is removed a week after surgery. Sometimes, patients may experience mild to moderate bleeding. This too is normal.

Post-operative Precautions

We advise patients to eat a light diet and avoid drinking hot liquid a few days after the surgery. Patients who experience nausea and vomiting must stick to light and bland food to allow the stomach to settle. Make sure you complete the antibiotics course prescribed by your physician. Sometimes, the surgeon may prescribe steroids for postoperative recovery; remember to take the medications without fail. Do not take any over-the-counter tablets without consulting your doctor.

At The Richardsons Dental and Craniofacial Hospital, we issue detailed instructions to patients to ensure a speedy recovery. This includes follow up consultations, not sneezing or blowing through the nose for a few days, taking proper rest, avoiding excessive talking and smiling, etc. Patients are advised to refrain from lifting heavy objects. They must also stay away from the sun, smoke, and dust to avoid infection.

Contact your physician immediately if you experience fever or sharp pain around the operated area. If the swelling persists or bleeding increases suddenly, inform your physician without fail.
