Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the nose for aesthetic or functional purposes.
Purpose of Rhinoplasty Surgery:
Cosmetic: To change the appearance of the nose for improved facial harmony.
Functional: To correct breathing issues or repair deformities resulting from injury or birth defects.
Procedure of Rhinoplasty:
Consultation: A thorough discussion with a surgeon about goals, medical history, and a physical examination.
Anesthesia: Administered to ensure comfort, either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.
Incisions:
Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars.
Open Rhinoplasty: An incision is made across the columella (the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils), allowing for more extensive reshaping.
Reshaping the Nose:
Bone and Cartilage Removal: To reduce the size.
Grafts: Using cartilage (from the septum, ear, or rib) to build up or reshape the structure.
Correcting a Deviated Septum: Straightening and reducing projections to improve breathing.
Closing Incisions: Sutures are used to close the incisions.
