Plastic surgery on the nose. Types, prices: septum correction, nose reduction, remove the hump, change shape, contour rhinoplasty

The appearance of a person depends on the shape, size and proportions of the nose. Plastic surgery is performed to eliminate defects in the nose and improve appearance. Among all aesthetic operations, plastic surgery of the nose in the first place in popularity, both among women and among men.

Indications for rhinoplasty

A medical indication for plastic surgery is:

• Pathology of the nasal septum (with such a defect, breathing is difficult, which subsequently affects the cardiovascular system).
• Violation of the shape of the nose after an injury.
• Congenital defect in the structure of the nose (asymmetrical arrangement of the nostrils).

In other cases, rhinoplasty is performed with the only desire of the patient to have a beautiful nose.

Contraindications

The main contraindication to the operation is the age of 18 years. Nasal cartilage in children is still completely unformed, because of this there is a risk of complications after plastic surgery. For the same reason, surgical intervention may be refused at a more mature age, after 40 years.

Chronic diseases can also serve as contraindications, these include:

• Diabetes.
• Tuberculosis.
• AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
• Diseases of the liver and kidneys.
• Blood clotting disorder.

Advantages and disadvantages

Plastic surgery on the nose has its pros and cons. Pros: the patient acquires an ideal nose shape for him, a feeling of self-confidence appears, and thanks to the elimination of the hump, breathing is normalized. Cons: there is a risk of complications, patient expectations may not be justified. However, this can be avoided by choosing a good specialist.

Types of operation

Plastic surgery on the nose can be of several types:

• Correction of the tip of the nose is the most complex type of plastic surgery, which can greatly change the appearance of just nose correction.
• Correction of the back of the nose (columella) – elimination of the hump, shaping the nose.
• Septorinoplasty – alignment of the curve of the nasal septum, is carried out to soften breathing.
• Conchotomy is a reduction in the nasal mucosa, which disturbs breathing.
• Electrocoagulation – removal of excess mucous tissue by electric shock, to restore breathing.
• Nose contouring is a method of correcting imperfections without surgery, using injections of hyaluronic acid.

Nose hump removal

A hump on the nose is the most common defect, especially in people of Caucasian nationality. It follows that, first of all, deformation of the nasal septum is a hereditary feature.

If earlier the hump on the nose was removed only with surgical intervention, now, thanks to modern technologies, you can do without a scalpel. The non-surgical method is injections of collagen or hyaluronic acid. The drug fills the area above and below the hump, and the nose visually aligns.

But this method has several disadvantages:

• The procedure requires repetition in a year.
• The true problem will not be solved, the hump will not be removed.
• The nose may look even larger than before the procedure.

The removal of the hump with the help of plastic surgery is more effective, meeting all expectations. You can get rid of the hump in just 2 hours, which the operation lasts. And no supportive procedures are required.

Nose tip plastic

Correction for a change in the tip of the nose is performed for patients with a lowered or upturned tip, or with a very wide, rounded. The operation itself is the removal of cartilage at the tip, thereby reducing the size and correcting the shape of the nose.

It is worth noting that plastic surgery to change the tip of the nose is very complicated , because the cartilage tissue in this part is unique for each patient. The slightest medical error can lead to irreversible consequences. Plastic surgery of the nose is performed in two ways: open and closed.

With open plastic, only one small incision is made in the bridge and excess cartilage tissue is removed. With a closed operation, the nasal mucosa is cut. Both methods have their risks, but an experienced surgeon can do a job brilliantly.

Correction of the wide back of the nose

A wide nose makes the face very heavy and rough, but with the help of plastic surgery, even a wide and large nose can become thin and attractive. Depending on the proportions of the height and length of the nose, the correction method is selected. The high back – is shortened, the short back – is lengthened with the help of implants, and the width is narrowed by the displacement of the cartilaginous tissue.

Nose wing correction

Correction of the nose wings is performed for patients with:

• wide nostrils (found in Asians);
• crooked nostrils;
• asymmetrical nostrils;
• too narrow nostrils.

During the operation, 2 main methods are used: removing skin tissue and tightening the nasal openings. The first method is carried out in all cases, the tissue is removed at the base of the nostrils, the seam remains at the incision site. The second method is applicable only to wide nostrils, with the help of a cut and thread, the nasal openings are brought closer to each other, thereby reducing the wings of the nose.

Rhinoplasty Methods

Plastic surgery on the nose is performed by 2 methods: open and closed.

Open rhinoplasty is used in especially serious cases when it is impossible to perform work using the closed plastic method. An open plastic surgery is a dissection of the soft tissues of the nose , as a result of which, greater access to the internal structure opens. Thus, the operation is faster and easier, but postoperative scars look much more noticeable.

Closed rhinoplasty is a more gentle method of nose surgery, performed using edge incisions. Since the incisions are made minimal and the arteries are not damaged, the sutures heal very quickly and there are practically no scars.

Usually, closed plastic surgery is performed to create an exclusively aesthetic beauty of the nose. Another modern metho
d of rhinoplasty can be considered laser nose surgery.

Laser

Laser nose surgery is an operation that is performed using a laser beam instead of a surgical scalpel.

This rhinoplasty method has many positive factors:

• Dissection of tissues with maximum speed and accuracy.
• The absence of bleeding due to laser cauterization of blood vessels.
• Disinfection due to exposure to high laser temperature.
• Less pronounced postoperative edema.
• Fast tissue repair after rhinoplasty.

As for the disadvantages, laser rhinoplasty has a wide scope, however, not every nose deformation can be corrected with a laser. Another disadvantage is the too high cost of the operation, not everyone can afford this procedure. In this regard, surgical rhinoplasty remains the most popular.

Surgical

Surgery is all surgery that is performed with a scalpel by cutting tissue. This method of plastic surgery, for many years, has been practiced in all surgical clinics.

Despite the fact that modern operating methods have appeared, without the use of a scalpel, there are much more highly qualified specialists in this field than in other areas.

Primary and secondary plastic

Plastic surgery on the nose, which is performed for the first time, is called primary plastic surgery. Secondary plastic surgery is a repeated operation, in order to correct the previous failed plastic surgery.

The choice of surgeon: tips, basic criteria

A face is a business card of any person. Entrusting your face with an inexperienced plastic surgeon is a completely unjustified risk.

In order to never regret the rhinoplasty done, you need to pay attention to:

• The number of operations performed by the surgeon and reviews of real customers.
• Surgeon work experience.
• The clinic in which the operation (equipment) will take place.
• Understanding between the patient and the surgeon.

There is no room for shame on this issue, if in doubt, it is better to abandon the operation.

Choice of anesthesia

In any operation, local anesthesia or anesthesia is used. Local anesthesia – anesthesia of a specific area that will be operated on. There are 2 methods of local anesthesia – application (the drug is applied to the surface of the skin), infiltration (the drug is injected into the tissues).

With rhinoplasty, the infiltration method of anesthesia is used, and application anesthesia is not effective enough. Local anesthesia can only be used when the bone tissue is not affected by the surgeon. If we are talking about rhinoplasty for correction of the septum, for example, then anesthesia is used (general anesthesia).

There are 3 methods for administering anesthesia:

1. intravenous;
2. combined;
3. inhalation;

Most often, surgeons use the inhalation method of anesthesia. Often the patient himself asks that his consciousness be “turned off” completely so as not to see what is happening. In this regard, anesthesia is more often used than local anesthesia.

Preparation for the procedure, analyzes

Immediately before the operation, the patient must undergo several tests to obtain admission to the operation:

• clinical blood test;
• general urine analysis;
• biochemical blood test;
• blood test for HIV and syphilis;
• analysis for the detection of hepatitis B, C;
• blood type;
• fluorography;
• ECG;
• dentist consultation;
• therapist’s opinion;

All blood tests should be done no earlier than a month before the operation.

Stages

Plastic surgery begins with the introduction of anesthesia. Next, the surgeon examines the nose, nasal passages, makes markings for future dissection of soft tissues. The next step is to perform incisions to access the nasal cartilage and septum.

Depending on the type of operation, the surgeon performs further work (correction of the septum, removal of the hump, reduction of the wings of the nose). After the shape of the nose is changed, the surgeon proceeds to close the incisions (suturing). The final stage of rhinoplasty is the result and recovery. The final result of the operation can be observed 6 months after the procedure.

Rehabilitation period

Usually, after rhinoplasty, the next day the patient can return home. For further rehabilitation, it is enough just to rest and treat the nose, as the surgeon will prompt. After some time, swelling of the nose and bruises under the eyes will pass, it will be possible to breathe freely. After about a month, all the seams heal, and there is practically no trace of the operation.

It is enough to adhere to some tips, which is unacceptable to do during the rehabilitation period:

• It is not recommended to sleep on your side and stomach;
• Do not wear glasses;
• it is contraindicated to lift heavy;
• It is not recommended to take a very hot bath and a cold shower;
• sun baths are contraindicated for 2 months;
• You can’t go to the pool for 2 months;

Possible complications

The most common complications after rhinoplasty are swelling and bruising. Formed in the nose and nose, pass within 1 – 2 months. Infection during surgery is a very rare complication that occurs due to insufficient sterilization of instruments used by the surgeon.

Another complication is hypertrophy (proliferation) of tissues. Hypertrophy disappears within 2 weeks, with proper treatment. Some patients with very sensitive skin may experience an allergic reaction to dressings, but this is also a rare complication.

Nutrition after surgery

After any plastic surgery, even after nose surgery, it is extremely important to follow a diet in the postoperative period. Proper nutrition will help to quickly restore the body’s strength and relieve unnecessary discomfort.

During the rehabilitation period, it is necessary to exclude salt, harmful food chemistry, sweets and other difficult to digest foods . Food should be healthy, easily digestible, mostly protein. You need to eat more than 3 times in small portions. Thus, the body will not be heavily loaded and will easily be replenished with energy.
