Basic things to know before you undergo surgery
for nose

• Nose surgery, medically known as rhinoplasty is a
  cosmetic procedure that is done to correct the
  shape and size of the nose. It corrects problems
  such as a prominent nasal hump or a hooked nose.
• Rhinoplasty can also correct a deviated septum, a
  condition in which the bone the wall that divides
  your left from your right nostril is deviated
  from its normal position.

Consultation with plastic surgeon

• A consultation is most important if you want to
  have a nose job done. Through it your surgeon can
  assess the type of nose that would be most
  proportionate to your face.

5
Anesthesia is used in the process

• This is performed as an outpatient procedure
  which uses a general or local anesthesia. The
  entire procedure can take 2-4 hours.

6
Approaches in making incision

• There are two approaches in making incisions. It
  can either be the open approach, where the
  incision is made at the bottom of the nose
  between the nostrils, or the closed technique
  where incisions are made on the mucosal lining.
  So there will be no problem regarding visible
  scars on your face.

7

• The doctor would have to remove or rearrange
  cartilage inside your nose he might also have to
  break some bones, but gently of course, to
  position your nose more nicely. Surgeons prefer
  to use your own tissues because this reduces the
  risk of rejection and infection later on.

8
Post surgery ..

• You may feel a little woozy the first few days
  after the surgery, and it is expected that you
  might vomit a black fluids hours after surgery.
  Dont be alarmed because this is just some blood
  that you have swallowed after surgery. If you
  have a high fever, contact your surgeon
  immediately.

• A cast or a bandage will be applied on your nose
  for a few days to hold it in place and to protect
  it. The first few weeks can be full of discomfort
  with the swelling inside, making it difficult for
  you to breathe nasally. Your nose can also become
  pretty sensitive around this time.

10

• Removal of the cast and bandage may not be very
  painful. However it may sting a bit. Swelling and
  bruising might still be visible for a few weeks,
  and at this time you should be very careful not
  to bump your nose.

• You can already appreciate results on the first
  month after your nose surgery, but every
  post-surgical reaction and healing will usually
  last a year.
