Reduction Rhinoplasty Surgery: Reshape Your Nose with Confidence
Introduction
The size and shape of your nose may feel like a constant source of self-consciousness. Having a prominent bump, wide nostrils, or an overly large nose appearance can be perceived as imperfections. These concerns can affect confidence, making you feel as though all eyes are on your nose.
Reduction rhinoplasty surgery is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size and reshape your nose for a more harmonious facial appearance. This transformative surgery can provide your nose with aesthetic enhancement and functional improvements.
“According to research published in the National Institutes of Health, getting a deep understanding with the help of an experienced surgeon about your anatomical and physiological relationships within the nose is essential before making a decision for reduction rhinoplasty surgery”.
Are there any benefits of Reduction Rhinoplasty surgery?
Yes. Benefits of Reduction rhinoplasty surgery include:
- Enhanced facial harmony: Achieve a balanced look by reducing your nasal size or correcting bumps, wide nostrils, and a bulbous tip.
- Boosted confidence: Improved appearance can lead to greater self-esteem and comfort in social situations.
- Custom results: Tailored to get your desired outcome.
What can I expect during the reduction rhinoplasty procedure?
Reduction rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia by a board-certified cosmetic surgeon.
The procedure is done using either an open or closed approach:
- Open rhinoplasty: An incision is made on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) to provide better access to the underlying nasal structures. This approach is preferred if correction in your case is complex.
- Closed rhinoplasty: All incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars. It is suitable for minor to moderate corrections.
During the surgery, the surgeon reshapes the nasal bones and cartilage to achieve your desired nose size and contours. If needed, your nose’s excess tissue will be refined to ensure a smoother and proportionate look.
What is the Result and Post- operative care of Rhinoplasty?
The results of rhinoplasty surgery include a more refined and balanced nose shape, improved facial harmony, confidence, and better breathing functionality.
Post-operative care of septorhinoplasty:
- Wear a nasal splint for the first week to support healing.
- Manage swelling with cold compresses and keep your head elevated.
- Avoid heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
- Follow your surgeon’s advice and take prescribed medications as directed.
Post-surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which gradually reduces in 3 to 4 weeks. A nasal splint is attached for the first week to support your nose as it heals. Full results become evident as swelling diminishes, within 9 to 12 months.
