What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as nose job, is a nose reshaping surgery- a type of plastic surgery that aims to modify the nose shape, size, or symmetry. Rhinoplasty surgery is usually performed for cosmetic purposes but may even be carried out for medical purposes- to improve nose functioning by fixing nasal septum deviation. In some cases, Rhinoplasty- a nose surgery is chosen for both cosmetic and functional reasons.

Reasons for Rhinoplasty (Goals of Rhinoplasty)

The purpose of a rhinoplasty can be cosmetic or functional. A common rhinoplasty aims to improve nose aesthetics.
 
Here are some cosmetic indications- the popular reasons for getting rhinoplasty:

  • Removal of a nose hump
  • Reshaping of the nasal tip
  • Straighten crooked nose
  • Alteration in the size/width of the nostrils
  • Correct congenital structural nose defects
  • Repair the damaged nose caused by an injury or cancer/severe infection
  • Alteration in size of the nose to make it in balance with other facial features.

 
Here are the medical indications for rhinoplasty- the conditions treatable with rhinoplasty:

  • A cleft lip
  • Apert Syndrome
  • Hemangiomas
  • Frontonasal dysplasia
  • A deviated nasal septum
  • Treacher Collins Syndrome
  • Craniosynostosis- early fusion of joints in the baby’s skull.

Types of Rhinoplasty Surgery

Typically, surgeons classify rhinoplasty surgery into two types, based on where the incisions are made:

  • Open rhinoplasty- The surgeon gets complete access to the internal nasal structure through an incision made across the columella- the tissue that separates the nostrils. This is preferred for major alterations of the nose.
  • Closed rhinoplasty- The surgeon makes incisions only within the nostrils to separate the nose skin from bones and cartilage lying underneath. This is preferred for minor alterations of the nose.

Within these two types, come other rhinoplasty surgery types, based on their purposes:

  • Tip plasty (nose tip rhinoplasty)- This is a nose surgery that focuses only on reshaping/resizing the nose tip.
  • Septorhinoplasty- It is a combination of cosmetic and functional rhinoplasties where an incision is made in the nose lining to remove bent bones and cartilages; straighten and narrow the nasal bones; and support/rebuild a damaged/deformed part of the nose.
  •  Revision rhinoplasty- Also referred to as second rhinoplasty, this is the nose surgery that is done to fix cosmetic or functional issues that arise after a first nose job.

Rhinoplasty is an elective surgery that one must get done for one’s own sake, not to solely satisfy other’s desires or try to fit into an ideal image. To confirm whether one is a candidate for rhinoplasty, one should consult with a plastic surgeon.

  • Current intake of medications and supplements
  • Whether having an addiction to alcohol, drugs, and tobacco
  • Any medical conditions, drug allergies, and previous medical treatments or surgeries.

The surgeon also:

  • Provides a treatment plan
  • Evaluates general health status
  • Takes measurements of the facial features
  • Talks about options available for reshaping the nose
  • Clicks photographs of the nose from different angles
  • Gives details of the procedure, benefits, and potential risks or complications.

Diagnosis Before Nose Job

Here’s what one needs before a nose job in India:

  • A review of medical records
  • Physical examination
  • Pre-operative evaluation tests including blood tests, imaging tests, and others
  • All of these actions before rhinoplasty surgery help the surgeon in creating and executing an appropriate surgical plan. 

Before a Rhinoplasty: How to Prepare?

To well prepare for rhinoplasty surgery, here are some steps to take:

  • Refrain from smoking
  • Avoid vigorous physical activities
  • Follow pre-anesthesia instructions
  • Have a healthy, soft, light diet, and drink plenty of water
  • Avoid intake of blood thinners and take only doctor-prescribed drugs.

Rhinoplasty Procedure

Here are the steps of a rhinoplasty operation:

1. Giving Anaesthesia.
Local or general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, as the anaesthesiologist recommends, is administered to ensure a comfortable rhinoplasty procedure.
 
2. Making the incision.
Based on the chosen rhinoplasty technique- open or closed, an incision is made to separate the skin covering nasal bones and cartilage.
 
3. The nose structure modification.
As per the structural abnormality or defect of the nose, the surgeon may reduce, remove, or reposition bones and cartilage or add cartilage grafts. If a deviated septum, the nasal septum is straightened.
 
4. Closing the incision.
Once the nasal bones and cartilages are altered and the nose is sculpted to the desired shape and size, the remaining nasal skin and tissue are re-draped over the new nose contour, and the incisions are closed with absorbable stitches.
 
5. Waiting for the results.
Just after the nose job procedure, splints, and gauze packing are provided to support and protect the newly sculpted nose as it heals.

After a rhinoplasty: Self-care After Rhinoplasty

It is important to properly take care of your nose after surgery to quickly and smoothly recover from rhinoplasty.

Here are the surgeon-provided instructions on aftercare for rhinoplasty and what to expect at home during rhinoplasty recovery:

  • Avoid intense physical activities including swimming for 3 to 6 weeks
  • Avoid blowing the nose and sneezing or coughing with your mouth closed.

FAQs About Rhinoplasty Surgery in India

When will I see the results of rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty starts showing results within a few weeks but the desired outcome takes up to one year to show up when the nose has completely healed.

How long does the rhinoplasty result last?

Rhinoplasty surgery is a permanent alteration of nose features, so the results last for one’s lifetime. In the case of liquid rhinoplasty, the results last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.

Is rhinoplasty painful?

As rhinoplasty is typically carried out under the effect of local anesthesia, it isn’t painful. However, there is post-surgical pain that can be managed with pain-relieving medications.

Which is better: open or closed rhinoplasty?

Both types of rhinoplasties have some perks and drawbacks. The better option is decided by the surgeon based on the patient's needs.

For how long will the swelling remain after rhinoplasty?

Post-rhinoplasty swelling subsides within a few months but completely resolves in 12 to 18 months.

Are scars noticeable after rhinoplasty?

The surgical scars are minimal and remain hidden as the rhinoplasty incisions are typically made inside the nostrils, along the nose's natural creases.

When can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?

You can typically start wearing glasses in 4 to 6 weeks when your nasal bones and cartilage have healed. But you should take your surgeon’s permission before you do so. 

What’s the difference between rhinoplasty and septoplasty?

The difference between Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty is that both these nose surgeries have different purposes and outcomes. Rhinoplasty alters nose shape, size, or symmetry to correct nose defects, improve nose profile, or restore nasal features after an injury. Whereas, septoplasty only fixes the deviated nasal septum and helps ease breathing. One may need a rhinoplasty septoplasty or a combination of both. Which one is best is decided by the surgeon, as per the patient's needs.
