Rhinoplasty<\/a> is a type of plastic surgery that changes the size, shape, and structure of your nose.<\/p>\n

Commonly called a nose job, the surgical procedure can reduce a prominent bump, narrow a wide tip, straighten a crooked bridge, or make your nose more proportional to the rest of your facial features. It can also help you breathe more easily.<\/p>\n

I perform rhinoplasty under general anaesthesia.<\/p>\n

What’s the difference between an open and closed rhinoplasty?<\/h3>\n

There are two primary nose job approaches: open and closed. The main difference between an open and closed rhinoplasty is that in an open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made on the underside of the nose. With a closed rhinoplasty, all of the incisions are located on the inside of the nose.<\/p>\n

I usually use open technique; but, depending on the anatomical structure of the nose, for some patients I also use the closed technique. To shape the bone, I use ultrasonic devices (piezoelectric devices) as they reduce swelling and bruising.<\/p>\n

What happens during rhinoplasty recovery?<\/h3>\n

Rhinoplasty recovery time is one to two weeks. Most patients are back to work in 10 days. You can expect swelling, bruising, and a clogged-nose feeling. Once the cast is removed, stuffy feeling will dissipate.<\/p>\n

Keep your head elevated and sleep on a couple of pillows for one to two weeks post-op, to help the swelling go down.<\/p>\n

Skip the glasses for approximately 1-1,5 months post op. After the nose splint is removed, about a week after surgery, tape your glasses to your forehead or prop them on your cheeks.<\/p>\n

Eat the right foods. For the first day or two, stay away from spicy or salty foods, which can make swelling worse.<\/p>\n

Apply cool compresses for the first two to three days.<\/p>\n

Resist the urge to blow your nose, which can rupture stitches. If you have to sneeze, do it with your mouth open.<\/p>\n

Avoid strenuous activities for the first two weeks and sports where you can get hit in the nose for at least three months.<\/p>\n

How long does swelling last after rhinoplasty?<\/h3>\n

After the procedure, there may be swelling around the eyes and the face. This swelling begins to decrease rapidly after 48-72 hours. The swelling on the face usually subsides within 7-10 days.<\/p>\n

The swelling in the nose and its surroundings will go down considerably within 1,5-2 months. You can see the final shape of the nose after 6 months. It may take up to 1-1.5 years to see the final shape.<\/p>\n

How long do rhinoplasty results last?<\/h3>\n

Nose job results are permanent, aside from the normal changes that come with the aging process.<\/p>\n

What’s the difference between a rhinoplasty and septoplasty?<\/h3>\n

Rhinoplasty surgery is sometimes combined with septoplasty\u2014the surgical correction of a deviated septum, a condition where the wall between your nasal passages is crooked.<\/p>\n

A septoplasty is performed to improve breathing, while a rhinoplasty is usually performed for aesthetic reasons.<\/p>\n

Both procedures can be done simultaneously, under one anaesthetic and with one recovery period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
