Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose. It can make the nose larger or smaller, change the angle of the nose in relation to the upper lip, alter the tip of the nose, or correct bumps, indentations, or other defects in the nose. Cosmetic surgery should only be done on a fully developed nose. Complete development has usually occurred by age 15 or 16 in females and by age 17 or 18 in males.

When planning rhinoplasty, your surgeon will consider your other facial features, the skin on your nose and what you would like to change. If you're a candidate for surgery, your surgeon will develop a customized plan for you. You will need to stay home for atleast 7 to 10 days after the surgery as the surgeon won't like you get hit on the nose and lose the shape of the reshaped nose again.

Treatment

Rhinoplasty can change the size, shape or proportions of your nose. It may be done to repair deformities from an injury, correct a birth defect or improve some breathing difficulties. During rhinoplasty surgery in India, the surgeon makes incisions to access the bones and cartilage that support the nose. The incisions are usually made inside the nose so that they are invisible after the surgery. After the surgeon has rearranged and reshaped the bone and cartilage, the skin and tissue is redraped over the structure of the nose. A splint is placed outside the nose to support the new shape of the nose as it heals. Surgery can be done under local or general anaesthesia however in India plastic surgeon will prefer to do it under general anaesthesia so that there is no movement at the time of surgery for the best results.
