Each surgery has its risks, so it is important to know well and be clear about all details before entering the operating room.
Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery that is becoming more and more common, it is one of the most requested in the world and not only for adults; adolescents also undergo a cosmetic reconstruction of their nose.
However, that does not mean that I can come and choose anyone for the procedure, nor any place. Nor is it to arrive, pay and enter the operating room. Not at least, without first knowing certain things.
Here we will tell you what you need to know before undergoing a Rhinoplasty.
If, in addition to wanting to aesthetically correct your nose, you have respiratory obstruction problems, what you need is a Rhinoseptoplasty and visit an otolaryngologist.
Thus, it should be clarified that they should not believe that “the specialist in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery will leave your nose working as well as an Otolaryngologist. Even less think that an ENT will leave your nose as beautiful as a specialist in Plastic Surgery“.
If you want to improve your profile, your nose may not be the problem itself; It can also be the chin or both, so the intervention would be different. Hence, the importance of seeing a doctor with experience so that he can evaluate it accordingly.
This is NOT a “simple” surgery. A Rhinoplasty requires a high specialization, which goes hand in hand with years of experience; no good plastic surgeon will tell you that it is a simple surgery or that it almost never fails.
There are factors that can limit good results. Among them is:
Thick nasal skin, smoking, tendency to fibrosis, lack of support of cartilage at the tip, facial rosacea and sebaceous nasal skin, among others. That is why medical evaluation is important.
Rhinoplasties are ambulatory, but there are patients who may require a night of hospitalization. Surgery can take two to three hours and is performed under General Anesthesia.
Here we leave you some before and after of Dr. Taverna’s rhinoplasty so that you can see her work in a comparative way.
Now, once you have followed our advice and you are ready to enter the operating room, there are some “after” that you have to know:
The incisions are minimal, they will be hidden with the folds of your nose and you will have to wait a few months before they fade.
The actual results of your Rhinoplasty are not immediate; In the first 48 hours you may experience discomfort from nasal congestion and possible bruises on the nose and near the eye.
To see the real results and for all the swelling in the area to go down, it can take six to twelve months.
Do not sleep on your side or stomach for the first 10 days after your operation, do not smoke until 12 months after (and hopefully never in your life).
