Rhinoplasty - Cesmedic Plastic

Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures.
Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip.
It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.

Types of anesthesia
Rhinoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and on what you prefer and the surgeon recommend.

The surgery
Rhinoplasty usually takes an hour or two, though complicated procedures may take longer. During surgery the skin of the nose is separated from its supporting framework of bone and cartilage, which is then sculpted to the desired shape. The nature of the sculpting will depend on your problem and your surgeon's preferred technique. Finally, the skin is redraped over the new framework.

Post-operative
When the surgery is concluded the surgery bandages, plastic material or plaster are placed to help to maintain the form of the cartilages and bone in the desired position. An intranasal tampon stays for 48 hours.
You should sleep with the head slightly raised. You will take your based on analgesic and anti-inflammatory to help to diminish the edema.
You cannot carry out physical effort neither to be exposed in the sun during 4 weeks.
After 15 days, the nose is free with the wanted form, but it still exists an inflammation that is not perceived, which goes disappearing until the sixth month when you will see the definitive result.
