The Best Candidates
The best candidates for rhinoplasty are people who
are looking for improvement, not perfection, in
the way they look.
Risk of Complications
Never the less, there is always a possibility
of complications, including infection, nose bleed
or a reaction to the anesthesia. Spots on the
skins surface; these are usually minor. As for
scarring, when rhinoplasty is performed from inside
the nose, there is no visible scarring at all.
Your initial consultation
In your initial consultation, good communication
between you and your physician is essential. The
surgeon will ask what you’d like your nose to
look like , evaluate the structure of your nose
and face , and discuss the possibilities with
you. We also explain the factors that can influence
the structure of your nasal bones and cartilage
, the shape of your face, the thickness of your
skin, your age , and your expectations. Rhinoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia,
depending on the extent of the procedure and on
what we prefer. With local anesthesia, you'll
usually be lightly sedated, and your nose and
the surrounding area will be numbed.
Your sugery
Your Surgery, takes one hour or two, though complicated
procedures may take longer. During surgery the
skin of the nose is separated from its supporting
frame work of bone and cartilage , which is then
sculpted to the desired shape.
