Rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose involves improving the shape and / or removing imperfections on the tip of the nose. Depending on the anatomical features and the desired result, surgery may require treatment of cartilage, soft tissues and columella.
Thanks to rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose, you can change:
- The thickness of the area above the tip of the nose
- Protrusion of the tip (distance from the face)
- Projection of the tip (angle between the upper lip and the tip of the nose)
- Position of the nasal septum
Nasal tip surgery is much more complex than it seems at first glance. The surgeon must plan his procedures very precisely - otherwise the result may be directly contrary to expectations.
The bone and cartilage structure of the tip of the nose has a significant effect on its appearance. Unsuccessful intervention can lead to distortion of not only the shape of the tip, but also the shape of the entire nose.
How is rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose performed?
The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia and lasts from 1 to 2-3 hours. It is difficult to single out the typical moments in plastic surgery of the tips of the nose - almost every operation is unique in its own way.
The same tasks facing the surgeon in different cases will be solved differently - based on the anatomical structure of the nose, the thickness and shape of the cartilage, tissue strength and other individual characteristics of the patient.
The process of preparation and recovery after surgery does not differ much from conventional rhinoplasty. It is necessary to give up smoking and a number of drugs that affect blood clotting and healing of sutures, as well as undergo a medical examination to determine possible contraindications.
Swelling, bruising and pain may occur in the first days after rhinoplasty. Recovery after surgery takes about 1-2 weeks, after which it is recommended to protect the nose from physical influences and high blood pressure for another 2-3 weeks (especially to limit sports),
How much does rhinoplasty cost
The cost of surgery depends on the nature of the changes, the qualifications of the doctor and the prestige of the clinic, as well as a number of other factors.
