Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, also known as nose job or nasal reshaping surgery, is one of the most common cosmetic procedures worldwide. This surgery aims to improve the appearance of the nose and harmonize it with the overall facial features, which contributes to increased self-confidence and enhancement of external appearance. In this article, we will provide an overview of rhinoplasty within Gulglam Clinics, including its benefits, necessary preparations, and potential side effects.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

It is important to highlight the key benefits of rhinoplasty within Gulglam Clinics, including:

  1. Improving the overall facial appearance: Changing the shape of the nose contributes to improving the overall appearance and harmony of facial features.
  2. Boosting self-confidence: Rhinoplasty can help increase self-confidence and psychological comfort for the individual.
  3. Correcting breathing problems: The procedure may be beneficial in correcting breathing problems resulting from structural deformities in the nose.

Rhinoplasty Procedure

Rhinoplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery that alters the shape and size of the nose. Some individuals undergo rhinoplasty to enhance the appearance of their nose and face, while others undergo functional rhinoplasty to improve nasal breathing and function, which is what we do at Gulglam Clinics.

Preparations Before Rhinoplasty Surgery

There are several steps we take at Gulglam Clinics to prepare for rhinoplasty surgery:

– Medical consultation: It is essential to start with a consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon at Gulglam Clinics to evaluate the case, clarify expectations, and discuss the necessary steps.

– Smoking cessation: Smokers should quit smoking before surgery to avoid healing problems.

– Medical tests: Some necessary medical tests may be required before surgery to ensure the individual’s health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Potential Side Effects of Rhinoplasty?

There are two main types of rhinoplasty procedures:

  • Open rhinoplasty: Open rhinoplasty is a procedure for major nasal reshaping, where your surgeon makes incisions to fully separate the skin from the bone and cartilage, allowing clear visualization of your nasal anatomy.
  • Closed rhinoplasty: Closed rhinoplasty is a minor nasal reshaping procedure, where your surgeon makes incisions inside your nose to separate your skin from the bone and cartilage for reshaping.
What are the Medical Conditions Requiring Functional Rhinoplasty?

Functional rhinoplasty may be performed to address various medical conditions, including:

  • Correction of congenital deformities (birth defects).
  • Opening blocked nasal passages (deviated septum).
  • Repair of facial fractures, such as a broken nose.
  • Restoration of breathing function after illness, cancer treatments, severe injuries, or burns.

What are the stages of Swelling After Rhinoplasty Surgery?

In the immediate aftermath of nose surgery, you'll experience swelling, which occurs when the nose is larger than usual due to fluid buildup under and within your skin. Stages of swelling after rhinoplasty surgery include:

  • Four to six weeks after surgery: Your nose will be swollen for four to six weeks after surgery, appearing larger than normal and feeling so. You may experience bruising or changes in skin color around the nose during its healing.
  • Three months after surgery: Swelling will gradually decrease between one to three months, and after three months, most swelling will disappear (about 90%).
  • One year after surgery: Mild swelling in your nose may still be present up to one year after your surgery.
