Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, involves the repair of restructuring of a nose. Rhinoplasty can enlarge or reduce a patient’s nose size, change the angle of a nose and remove any lumps that are discovered. A rhinoplasty procedure also involves fixing a nose bridge and the modification of nosetrils. Additionally, a disfigured or broker nose can be corrected though rhinoplasty.

The cosmetic sugery procedure called rhinoplasty can be done in two ways:

Endonasal or internal rhinoplasty requires that incisions be made inside the nose. Some skin is opened up to enable the surgeon to perform cosmetic sugery properly. An internal rhinoplasty is normally performed when minor cosmetic sugery is required.

An external or open-tip rhinoplasty requires the cosmetic surgeon to make cuts on the outer part of the nose. The cut is normally made on the part of the nose where the nose crease joins the face. Open-tip rhinoplasty is normally used for procedures that require the removal or repair of the cartilage tissue of a nose or skin.

Rhinoplasty surgery is performed to individuals who are in the mid teen years. It is not ideal for children to undergo this procedure because the nose normally continues to develop until the pre teen years. Only children who require surgery due to an injury in the nose can undergo rhinoplasty before the recommended age.

A majority of rhinoplasty surgeries are performed as an outpatient procedure. The only time that a person is admitted into the hospital is when reconstructive surgery is required on a nose.

Like all medical procedures, rhinoplasty can result in certain medical risks even if done in the proper manner. Patients run the risk of getting nosebleeds, and an allergic reaction to the anesthesia. Small blood vessels on the patient’s nose can burst, and appear as permanent red spots on the face. In addition, several forms of discomfort may be felt right after the surgery and when the anesthesia wears off. Most people suffer from headaches, face swelling, bruising and pain in some parts of the nose. Your doctor will recommend some methods and medication to alleviate your discomfort
