Overview

Nose reshaping is a kind of cosmetic surgery also known as rhinoplasty (simply a nose job). It is mainly to change the size or shape of the nose and to improve nose functions. Mainly it serves two purposes –

For restoring the functions of the nose like breathing or to resolve any birth defect.
For cosmetic reasons like for improving the beauty and appearance of the nose.

Procedure

Rhinoplasty requires Anesthesia for comfort while having a surgical procedure. It includes general or intravenous sedation. The nose is numbed by sedation and the patient will not be able to feel the pain.

After anesthesia, the incision is done. Rhinoplasty is done in two ways-

Closed rhinoplasty- the incision is made inside the nose. It is mainly for minor adjustments.
Open rhinoplasty- the incision is made across the nasal tip known columella which is a narrow tissue separating nostrils. This nose can be transformed in the desired shape.

By incisions (external cut) skin covering bones and cartilages is corrected as per the requirement to reshape the structure and to restore the functions.

The surgeon can change the shape of nose bones and cartilage accordingly and it depends upon how much it needs to be added or removed. If the septum has deviated then it can be straightened and also projections reduced inside the nose.

Preparations to do before treatment

Choose a board-certified surgeon who is specialized in nose reshaping and who have experience in this field.
Ask the professional whether this treatment is beneficial to you or not.
The physical and medical examination is done and photographs to be taken for preoperative planning. Avoid taking any kind of anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin or herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding. Avoid smoking and sun exposure at least a week before surgery.

After the procedure (what to expect, recovery and results)

After the surgery splint is placed in the nose which helps in retaining the shape of the nose. A splint may also be placed inside the nostrils to stabilize septum which is a part of the nose and is between the nostrils.

The patient might have headaches or puffiness in the face, which can be managed with the medication.

The patient should avoid any kind of exertion for some weeks after the surgery like running, strenuous physical exercises, swimming, excessive chewing, blowing the nose, etc. exposure to the sun must be avoided. There can be discoloration around eyes or swelling or numbness, if so then apply the ice packs to reduce discoloration and swelling.

The results of rhinoplasty are long-lasting. During this time there could be gradual changes in the appearance of the nose. Rhinoplasty can result in swelling and numbness in the nose for months because it is a sensitive part. Although it is a simple and safe procedure its healing can take some time.
