What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure, which reshapes the nose and corrects its imperfections. It is one of the popular and most performed plastic surgeries worldwide. The procedure gives the patient the chance to remodel their nose according to their wishes. The objectives of the procedure vary according to need (removing an unpleasant bump, reducing the size of the nose, refining the tip, etc.). However, the procedure guarantees natural-looking results that are adapted to the patient’s facial morphology.
What are the indications for rhinoplasty?
After discussing the patient's expectations and motivations, the surgeon will suggest one of the following procedures. The first option is Corrective Rhinoplasty, which is primarily an aesthetic intervention aimed at addressing imperfections of the nose. The second option is Functional Rhinoplasty, an ORL intervention designed to treat respiratory difficulties and snoring.
The goals of a rhinoplasty procedure can be tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient. These objectives encompass a range of possibilities, including reducing or refining the overall size and shape of the nose, addressing the removal of an unsightly bump on the nose, enhancing the appearance of the nasal tip or adjusting its position according to the patient's preference, straightening a nose that may be deviated or deflected, and even reducing the size of nostrils to achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance. Rhinoplasty offers a versatile set of solutions to help patients achieve their desired nasal aesthetics and overall facial balance.
How much does rhinoplasty cost?
The cost of rhinoplasty can vary depending on several factors, including the specific type of procedure required. For a standard rhinoplasty, the all-inclusive cost is approximately €2,300. However, for ethnic rhinoplasty, which may involve additional considerations and techniques to address unique cultural or aesthetic preferences, the all-inclusive cost is slightly higher at €2,700. It's essential to note that these prices encompass all aspects of the procedure, ensuring transparency and convenience for patients seeking this cosmetic surgery option. It's advisable to consult with a qualified surgeon to discuss your specific needs and obtain an accurate cost estimate tailored to your individual case
What is the connection between rhinoplasty and youth?
A great number of young patients request rhinoplasty due to nose insecurities. The procedure can only be considered if the patient is older than 18 years. The patient has to be mature enough to take conscious of the post-surgical changes. Consequently, during the preliminary consultation, the surgeon has to make sure that the patient is fully aware of the consequences brought by the procedure as well as their thought-through decision to undergo it. The surgeon may also refuse to perform the procedure in certain cases and propose therapy sessions to the patient.
What should you consider before getting rhinoplasty?
During the initial consultation, the skilled surgeon will engage in a comprehensive discussion with the patient to thoroughly elucidate the proposed procedure. This dialogue serves as an invaluable opportunity for the surgeon to gain a profound understanding of the patient's unique expectations, desires, and underlying motivations. Furthermore, it is imperative that the patient becomes acutely aware of the substantial alterations that may transpire following the surgical intervention. Acknowledging and comprehending these potential post-surgical changes is paramount to ensuring that the patient is fully informed and prepared for their transformative journey ahead.
What happens during a rhinoplasty procedure?
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and is estimated to last from one hour and a half to three hours. Incisions are made in the closed style, thus scars are concealed after the procedure. Incisions in the external nose can be considered in certain cases. The choice of surgical procedures in ethnic rhinoplasty varies based on the patient's specific aesthetic goals. When a patient desires a reduction in the size of their nose, the surgeon typically performs a procedure involving the removal of cartilage and/or bone to achieve the desired reduction in size. On the other hand, for those seeking an increase in nose size, two primary solutions come into play. First, cartilage grafting may be utilized, where additional cartilage is strategically placed to augment the nose's size. Alternatively, silicone implants can also be considered as an effective means to achieve the desired increase in nose size. These surgical options are tailored to each individual's unique goals and anatomy to ensure a natural and harmonious outcome. The surgeon will suture incisions and place a plastic or metal splint on the patient’s nose at the end of the procedure. The splint will help the nose retain its new shape while it heals.
What are the post-operative guidelines and considerations following a rhinoplasty procedure?
The patient might be in pain after the procedure, and so the doctor will prescribe medication to alleviate the pain. The splint and the stitches are removed after 10 days. Swelling and bruising are expected, but both will wear out after a few weeks. After the procedure, the patient may feel a breathing difficulty for a few weeks. Nasal cleaning is necessary to prevent the formation of crusts. The patient is advised to take between 10-15 days off of work, depending on the professional activity. Physical activity is only resumed after 4 weeks.
What are the results of rhinoplasty?
After a rhinoplasty, patients are often eager to see the results of their surgery. Initial changes are typically visible as soon as the dressings are removed, but it is essential to understand that the nose undergoes a healing process. It is recommended to wait approximately 2 to 3 months to fully assess the success of the rhinoplasty. It's important to remember that each patient is unique, and results may vary, but by closely following your surgeon's instructions and exercising patience, you will be better able to appreciate the aesthetic improvements brought about by this procedure.
What is ethnic rhinoplasty?
Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty a Way to Enhance Nose Appearance While Preserving Ethnic Characteristics?
An ethnic nose job is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to change the appearance of the nose in a person of ethnic descent, such as an African American or Asian. Ethnic noses are flat and large, and ethnic skin is thick.The procedure will enhance the appearance of the patient’s nose by altering its size and/or shape. Although appearance will be improved, the patient’s ethnic characteristics will still be respected and preserved. Whether the patient requests an “occidentalisation” of their nose or a correction of certain imperfections, the former is feasible to a certain extent. However, it is important that the outcome of the procedure be natural-looking and adapted to the patient’s facial morphology.
How is ethnic Rhinoplasty realized?
Different techniques can be used in an ethnic rhinoplasty, but all lead to the same natural-looking outcome. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and is estimated to last between one hour and a half and two hours. To reshape the nose, the surgeon may have recourse to cartilage graft, placement of implants, or nostril reduction depending on the patient’s objectives.
Ethnic rhinoplasty procedures vary based on the patient's specific goals and preferences. When the aim is to reduce the size of the nose, surgical techniques involve the removal of cartilage and/or bone to achieve a more proportionate appearance. On the other hand, when the goal is to enhance the size of the nose, two primary options are available. The first option involves using cartilage grafts to augment and reshape the nose, while the second option includes the placement of silicone implants to achieve the desired nasal contour. The choice of approach depends on the individual's unique aesthetic objectives and the recommendations of the plastic surgeon.
