What's rhinoplasty like?

Nasal reshaping: Rhinoplasty is the operation which is used to correct the shape of the nose. This can be done for cosmetic or functional reasons. There are a variety of different approaches and techniques which are used depending on what areas of the nose need to be changed. This is often done as an outpatient under general anesthesia. Recovery is usually relatively mild, with minimal pain.

Varies: Depends on how much needs to be done, but it is usually done under anesthesia and takes 1-2 hours. The procedure is outpatient, and you usually need a week off work. Full healing takes 1 year.

Rhinoplasty surgery: Dear idovekids, rhinoplasty surgery is well tolerated with little pain or discomfort. The overall satisfaction rate is extremely high. It is done with some sedation anesthesia so you are very comfortable. For more questions on what is possible, please see a rhinoplasty surgeon for more answers. Best, nima shemirani.

Outpatient procedure: Rhinoplasty is a common outpatient procedure usually done with a general anesthetic - you are asleep. It normally takes 1-2 hours and can either be done completely from inside your nose or perhaps a small external incision at the base of the nose. This can be done to change the shape of the nose or to improve breathing - and often both at the same time!

Rhinoplasty: Rhinoplasty generally takes between 60-150 minutes, during which time the surgeon reshapes and often improves the function of the nose. It can be performed under sedation or general anesthesia, and there is generally no significant pain during or after the surgery. Most patients complain of a stuffy nose for a week and bruising for 2 weeks. Most patients are back at work in 7-10 days.

Rhinoplasty: The outpatient procedure can last one to two hours. I prefer a technique called closed or endo-rhinoplasty, which involves making only internal incisions, so you will have no visible scars. I’ve found that this approach also contributes to a more rapid recovery. Once i’ve made the incision, i gently elevate the skin and then shape the bone and cartilage to achieve your desired look. Afterward, i re-drape the skin and use tiny, dissolving stitches to close the incision. Finally, to aid healing and maintain its new shape, i’ll place a thin protective splint on your nose.

Rhinoplasty is fun: It is a very gratifying procedure for both the patient and the surgeon. From patient's perspective it is one to three hours of general anesthesia , one week of no work or school and 3weeks if no contact sports. The pain is not bad but nasal packing can be uncomfortable.

Outpatient: Rhinoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure. The nose gets stuffy from swelling postoperatively, but the pain is very tolerable. Procedures can be done to improve breathing simultaneously, but breathing gets worse before it gets better usually. Expect bruising around the eyes if the nasal bones are moved and swelling of the nasal tip if the tip is manipulated.

Rhinoplasty Recovery: For most patients rhinoplasty is about a one week recovery. They wear a splint on the outside of the nose for a week. I do not use packing on the inside of the nose, which was responsible for a lot of the swelling, bruising, and pain commonly associated with the procedure. Most patients report little discomfort following the surgery.

Rhinoplasty: The purpose of nose surgery (rhinoplasty) is to improve the appearance of the nose, to help it fit the face in a complementary way that is harmonious with other facial features. Rhinoplasty may be performed using either a closed procedure where the incisions are hidden inside the nose or an open procedure where an incision is made across the narrow strip of tissue that is between the nostrils.
