Nasal plastic intervention requires some preparation for carrying out.
Rhinoplasty is carried out in several stages:- Patient consultation with a plastic surgeon. Even with a minor correction, the specialist needs to assess the volume and complexity of the work. This can be done only after a thorough examination of the structure of the nose, determining its individual characteristics, identifying internal disorders and other defects. It often happens that the patient wants to reduce the shape of the nose or remove the hump, and some serious pathologies are found during the examination. In addition, the consultation allows you to set the exact price of the operation.
- Necessary Investigations. After the examination, the plastic surgeon will prescribe a list of lab tests and necessary investigations which should be taken before the operation. You will also need to consult with a therapist and anesthesiologist.
- Appointment of the day of the operation. Based on the results of the analysis, the doctor prescribes a specific day and time for the plastic surgery.
- The operation is performed under general or local anesthesia. Duration depends on the complexity of the case. The doctor performs a nose correction using a closed or open method, on which the features of the intervention will depend. If this is an open method, then the doctor, after all the corrective manipulations, sutures the external incisions with a special thin nylon thread, which is almost invisible. Internal sutures are applied with a suture that will absorb over time. After the sutures are imposed, a special plaster or plaster bandage is glued to the nose, and a splint (bandage) is applied on top, which performs a supportive, fixing and protective function, which is able to reduce puffiness. Silicone plates (splints) or tampons are inserted into the nostril openings.
- Rehabilitation period. Immediately, even with a bandage, the patient can breathe. Those who have undergone rhinoplasty to straighten the deviated septum immediately notice an excellent effect (improved sleep and well-being). After about a week, the doctor removes the bandage. To speed up the recovery process, the patient is given certain recommendations, a rehabilitation program is prescribed (it consists of various procedures). For about 3 weeks, you need to exert less physically.
After the operation, the patient will experience swelling and bruising for several weeks. This is normal and will pass very soon. There may be numbness in the tip of the nose, which usually goes away within a few months.
That is why the real effect can be assessed only after about six months.
