Rhinoplasty is an operation to improve the shape
and size of the nose so that it is in harmony
with the rest of the face. Rhinoplasty is
essentially a surgical sculpting of the nose and
is accomplished by careful contouring of the
bone and cartilage giving the nose its shape. At
the same time deformities that cause breathing
problems and some sinus disorders can be
corrected. Most incisions (seamless rhinoplasty)
are placed inside the nose where they are least
visible.
Rhinoplasty is performed under sedation with
local anesthesia. The surgery takes
approximately one and one-half to two hours. The
use of ãseamlessä nose surgery allows for no
visible external scars and with this type of
seamless nose surgery discomfort is minimized
because no plates, tubes or painful packaging
are used.
Rhinoplasty is often an enhancement to facial
rejuvenation, particularly in the correction of
the aging nose (drooping of the tip). A
significant ãcomboä effect is seen with facial
augmentation in conjunction with cosmetic nasal
surgery. In most instances, change in appearance
can be seen immediately. |
