The nose is an integral and important part of the face, significantly affecting our beauty and aesthetic appearance. In this article we will analyze how to correct small and large imperfections in the shape of the nose with rhinoplasty.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty has been used in plastic surgery since the late 19th century and is a fairly well-researched method of nose correction. First, it has a cosmetic effect: it evens out both congenital defects in the shape of the nose, nostrils or nasal septum, and those acquired as a result of trauma. And, secondly, it has a therapeutic effect, since the crooked shape of the nose often leads to great breathing problems and respiratory diseases.
Despite its knowledge and popularity, the operative technique is quite complicated and requires a responsible approach not only from the doctor, but also from the patient. First of all, before the procedure, it is necessary to conduct a detailed consultation with the doctor and all the medical examinations he prescribes. Up to computed tomography if necessary. It's important! Since in the presence of significant contraindications to operations of this type, irreversible side effects can be obtained for one's health. A few weeks before the operation, it is necessary to exclude the use of drugs, not to smoke or drink alcohol.

The success of the operation directly depends on the professionalism and experience of the doctor. The shape of the nose, as well as the surgical intervention in the modification process, are not only of great aesthetic importance, but also have a significant influence from the point of view of medicine. The various parts of the nose are closely interconnected with the entire respiratory system as a whole.
Therefore, this procedure requires a thorough preliminary study of both the nose itself and the facial structures associated with it. And any manipulation by the doctor must be clear and verified so as not to lead to undesirable consequences for the patient's health. And, consequently, avoid repeated surgical interventions. Therefore, when choosing a clinic, it is not necessary to put the price of the procedure itself in the foreground. Pay special attention to doctor's qualifications and reviews.
The moment of dissatisfaction with their appearance after the operation is practically excluded. Today, every clinic has the ability to model on the computer and select the shape of the nose that suits you. You can see for yourself how you will handle the procedure and make your adjustments.
Important tip:before making a final decision, consult your doctor. Perhaps your unsatisfactory appearance is not affected by the shape of the nose, but completely different parts of the face are subject to correction or correction. In the event that there are no visible defects and damage, there is also the possibility that self-dissatisfaction has a purely psychological aspect. In both cases, the visible result of the procedure will be rather negative. Therefore, approach the problem responsibly.
At what age can nose rhinoplasty be performed?
Nose correction procedures are not recommended until the age of 18, or rather, before the age of 20. This is due to the fact that before this age the process of formation of the nasal cartilage takes place. And by the age of 20 they are fully formed. It is also not recommended to carry out the procedure for patients after 40 years of age. At this age, the tissue healing process is much slower and the operation will be more complicated. Correction of the nose is contraindicated in patients with diabetes mellitus, all types of oncology, cardiovascular diseases and in people with poor blood clotting.
Types of nose rhinoplasty
The rhinoplasty procedure is open and closed, depending on what needs to be corrected. With closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nose and no scars remain on the skin surface. The open type is used in the event that it is impossible to perform the entire amount of work agreed by the operational plan. The scars that form practically disappear after 1-2 months.
Recovery period after surgery
Rhinoplasty, like any operation, has its own recovery period. It is short-lived, but it has its unpleasant consequences. The first few days a slight pain in the nose is possible. You will also have to breathe through your mouth due to special tampons, which are then removed. Additionally, slight bleeding may occur for 2-3 days. But this is normal and you shouldn't be afraid.
After the operation, a special plaster is applied to the patient, which has a fixing and protective function. After about a week, this plaster is removed and the links removed. Puffiness under the eyes will disappear in about 2-3 weeks. Well, you can evaluate the final result of the surgeon's work no earlier than 6 months.
And finally, a few months after rhinoplasty, you have to be very careful, do not do sports or physical activity and rest a lot. It is also not recommended to wear glasses.
