Rhinoplasty Kuwait City Kuwait – Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.

If you’re considering rhinoplasty, this information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can help, how it’s performed, and what results you can expect. It can’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Contact Dr Nabavian if you are considering a nose job.

The Best Candidates For Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have nose surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your plastic surgeon.

The best candidates for rhinoplasty in Los Angeles are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you’re physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate. Serving Beverly Hills and Los Angeles areas.

Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes-to correct birth defects or breathing problems.

Age may also be a consideration for rhinoplasty. Many plastic surgeons prefer not to operate on teenagers until after they’ve completed their growth spurt-around 14 or 15 for girls, a bit later for boys. It’s important to consider teenagers’ social and emotional adjustment, too, and to make sure it’s what they, and not their parents, really want.

All plastic surgery carries some uncertainty and risk
When rhinoplasty is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, there is always a possibility of complications, including infection, nosebleed, or a reaction to the anesthesia. You can reduce your risks by closely following your surgeon’s instructions both before and after rhinoplasty.

After rhinoplasty surgery, small burst blood vessels may appear as tiny red spots on the skin’s surface; these are usually minor but may be permanent. As for scarring, when rhinoplasty is performed from inside the nose, there is no visible scarring at all; when an “open” technique is used, or when the procedure calls for the narrowing of flared nostrils, the small scars on the base of the nose are usually not visible.

In about one case out of ten rhinoplasty, a second procedure may be required-for example, to correct a minor deformity. Such cases are unpredictable and happen even to patients of the most skilled surgeons. The corrective surgery is usually minor.

Good communication between you and your board certified plastic surgeon is essential. In your initial consultation, the rhinoplasty surgeon will ask what you’d like your nose to look like after rhinoplasty, evaluate the structure of your nose and face, and discuss the possibilities with you. He or she will also explain the factors that can influence the procedure and the results. These factors include the structure of your nasal bones and cartilage, the shape of your face, the thickness of your skin, your age, and your expectations.

What to expect during rhinoplasty recovery

First and foremost, you should be aware that the swelling may take up to a year to diminish for the final shape of your new nose to emerge. As the tissues mend and the swelling fades, most patients will notice a subtle change in look throughout the first few weeks.

Although you will see a noticeable difference after three to four weeks, your final nose contour may take many months to materialize. The surgical site will be packed or splinted on the inside for most rhinoplasty patients, and the nose will be wrapped with bandages on the outside to protect and maintain your new nose shape. This dressing should be left in place for one week, after which your surgeon will remove the dressing as well as any stitches.

The first week after surgery will be the most painful and swollen, and you’ll probably have some bruising and discomfort on your cheeks and under your eyes for a week or two, but this will usually go away.

Your plastic surgeon will also provide you with specific and extensive post-operative instructions. This will include post-operative care, medication schedules, and any problems to keep an eye on. Following these instructions will result in the best possible result.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Both men and women choose to have nose surgery for a variety of reasons. Many people believe that getting a nose operation is solely for cosmetic reasons, but there are additional advantages to the treatment as well.

It can aid with breathing problems, and in certain cases, reshaping the nose can help with sinus problems and a deviated septum. If you have these issues, a board-certified plastic surgeon will be able to address this with you in greater detail.

Of course, nose surgery can assist in achieving a variety of aesthetic goals. It can address nostril breadth and shape, bridge width, humps or depressions in the bridge, and deformed nasal tips, as well as correcting asymmetry and enhancing face balance and proportions.
