Nose operations

Definition : A nose operation is usually performed in order to alter the appearance, structure and functions of the nose. Nose operations may reduce or increase nose size, change the shape of its tip, narrow the nostrils or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip. These operations are connected with congenital malformations, nose injuries and are often helpful when solving breathing problems. The technique and method of the operation must be individually adjusted for each patient. The best candidates for such operations are people expecting an improvement in nose appearance and not the impossible ideal. Nose operations may be performed along with other operations.

Age : 20 or over

Surgical technique : A nose operation is performed under general anesthesia. Cuts may be performed inside the nose as well as outside (in the open method). In operations aimed at the alteration of the shape of the tip of the nose the procedure is usually performed on the cartilage. For patients having a hump on the nose or when the nose is crooked, cutting off the hump and breaking the sides of the nose is necessary to obtain a correct appearance. After the procedure a thermoplastic splint is placed for 10 days, and the inside is equipped with a seton for 1-2 days. Swelling may remain for up to a few months. The final effect will be visible after a year. Along with the aesthetic operation it may be possible and sometimes it is necessary to correct a crooked septum. The patient remains under observation for 24 hours.

Operation duration : 1-3 hours

Recovery time : 10-14 days
