Nose Surgery

 

“Rhinoplasty” is a surgical procedure used to reshape, contour, and adjust the proportions of the nose. Most people have nose surgery to straighten the bridge of the nose, reduce a bump on the bridge of the nose, alter the size or shape of the tip, or narrow the base of the nose or nostrils.

There may also be medical reasons for nose surgery, especially for those with breathing difficulties due to blocked nasal passages (deviated septum).The nose surgery procedure used to reshape the nose can vastly improve breathing. Surgeons work inside the nose and nostrils, separating the outer skin from the underlying bone and cartilage. The nose is then contoured to a more desirable shape.

The rhinoplasty procedure takes roughly one to two hours, but can be longer for more extensive reconstruction. The surgery is performed in the doctor’s office under local or general anesthesia. After nose surgery, a tape (acting much like a splint) is worn for several days. Nose surger is the most common procedure performed on teenagers and can also be performed in conjunction with other cosmetic surgeries.
