Question 1

is the nose always broken during rhinoplasty? is breaking the nose always necessary with rhinoplasty, or can it sometimes be avoided?

Accepted Answer

It : It isn't always necessary to perform controlled bone fractures during rhinoplasty. It really depends on if the nasal bones need to be repositioned or not.

Question 2

when is your nose broken during a rhinoplasty procedure?

Accepted Answer

Nose Reshaping: The upper third of your nose is supported by underlying bones. When these bones are crooked, too wide, too narrow or otherwise need to be repositioned, they can be broken in a controlled fashion during surgery. This is called an osteotomy and is performed with a very sharp, precise chisel.

Question 3

during surgery of rhinoplasty, are there any indications to the surgeon that a previous rhinoplasty was performed? specifically, on the tip of nose.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Alterations of the cartilage and bony nasal structures are easily apparent.

Question 4

hi all..after 6 months from rihoplasty i still feel some pain when i'm walking for long distances or carrying heavy things, so if i return back to my workout in gym during these days will effect the final nose job results??

Accepted Answer

Pain/nasal surgery ?: Exercise six months post rhinoplasty should not affect the original surgery, but pain at this point is unusual, so see your surgeon who performed the surgery prior to resumption of your normal workout.

Question 5

rhinoplasty question - how much does nose shrink?

Accepted Answer

Rhinoplasty: Rhinoplasty is designed to produce a nose which is appropriate for your face.  Discuss with your facial plastic or plastic surgeon for more details.

Question 6

does curved nose can be corrected without rhinoplasty?

Accepted Answer

No: A long-standing structural deformity can only be fixed by corrective surgery.

Question 7

how long after a rhinoplasty until your nose feels completely normal again?

Accepted Answer

A few months: I usually recommend to my patients to go at least 4-6 weeks after a rhinoplasty before any vigourous exercise or strenuous activity.   After that, most patients report that they fully feel mostly like themselves in about 2-3 months, but it may take 6 months to a year for the nose to feel "completely normal".

Question 8

in a septo rhinoplasty, will i be getting my nose replaced with something artificial?

Accepted Answer

No: Most doctors use cartilage from the septum to help reshape your nose. Some doctors may use implants in complex cases but would inform you first. Get a consult to discuss your options.

Question 9

issue with one side of nose tip after rhinoplasty - how can i improve the appearance? ?

Accepted Answer

Nasal tip asymmetry: There is almost certainly something which can be done to address the issue.  Talk your local experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.  Depending on the exact problem you may be a candidate for an office injectable treatment.  Sometimes a revision surgery is needed.  The options also change depending on how long ago the surgery was performed. Good luck.

Question 10

can you tell me in a septo rhinoplasty, do i get my nose replaced with something artificial?

Accepted Answer

No: Septorhinoplasty entails reshaping your nose cartilage and/or bones to make the nose look better and more straight. It is still your tissues. Rarely a rhinoplasty will include the placement of an implant, but your doctor would tell you about it prior to surgery.
