Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a very common plastic surgery technique. Many people think that their nose is not perfect and will use this method to solve the problem. At the same time, when some nasal deformities occur, rhinoplasty is also a good correction method. Although rhinoplasty is a minor surgery, it carries certain risks. We must have a full understanding of the surgical situation and minimize hidden dangers.

Rhinoplasty, a surgical procedure to reshape the nose, is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed at the Asian Rejuvenation Injection Center. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or bridge of your nose, narrow flared nose wings, or alter the triangular area between your nose and upper lip.

Additionally, it can correct congenital defects or injuries to the nose and even help alleviate some breathing problems. Through rhinoplasty (using tissue substitutes or autologous materials of various brands at home and abroad) and comprehensive correction of round nose tip, wide nose, crooked nose, upturned nose, hump nose, etc., your face can be made more three-dimensional. Cosmetic reshaping of the nose, collectively known as rhinoplasty, is one of the most significant plastic surgery procedures for improving appearance.

Suitable for

Rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of the nose and increase the self-confidence of the patient, but not everyone is suitable for rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is suitable for people who:

1. Mentally and physically healthy people

The best candidates for rhinoplasty are those who want to improve their appearance without seeking perfection. If you are physically healthy, mentally healthy, and your expectations are realistic, then you may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty.

2. Age should be above 18 years old

Age is another factor that doctors consider when deciding whether to perform rhinoplasty. Plastic surgeons generally do not perform rhinoplasty on adolescents (14-15 year old girls and 16-17 year old boys) until their development is more stable.

3. Secondary rhinoplasty

If the rhinoplasty is performed with an incision inside the nostrils, there will be no visible scar after the surgery; if a nostril reduction surgery is performed, a not very obvious scar will be left at the base of the nose after the surgery. Almost 1 in 10 rhinoplasty patients will need a second rhinoplasty to correct minor imperfections, and even the most experienced plastic surgeons can have unexpected problems. The second rhinoplasty is usually a minor operation, but it should not be performed in a cosmetic surgery institution that does not have medical plastic surgery qualifications.

Postoperative recovery time

Most patients who undergo rhinoplasty can walk around the next day and return to school one week after the surgery, but it does take 3-4 weeks to fully return to normal. However, the recovery period for the bridge of the nose after rhinoplasty will not be too long. Moreover, swelling of the bridge of the nose after rhinoplasty is a normal surgical reaction and also a normal tissue reaction. Almost everyone experiences this and has to go through this process. This swelling reaction after rhinoplasty can be mild or severe, and it takes a process to reduce the swelling. Because everyone's physique is different, the length of time varies from person to person. Some people recover faster after rhinoplasty, while others progress more slowly. It may take 1-3 months for the nose to completely become the same as a normal nose.

After rhinoplasty, you should gradually resume your normal activities. Experts recommend that you avoid strenuous exercise, such as running, swimming, and other exercises that can increase blood pressure, within 2-3 weeks after the operation. Avoid trauma or abrasion to the nose and avoid excessive exposure to sunlight for two months. Be gentle when washing your face, combing your hair, and applying cosmetics.
