Several types of rhinoplasty exist according to needs. Primary rhinoplasty is the first procedure to correct the shape of the nose. Secondary rhinoplasty corrects after a first surgery. Post-traumatic rhinoplasty corrects after trauma. Ethnic rhinoplasty adapts to ethnic characteristics. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses ultrasound to reshape the nose.
How is the procedure performed?
Rhinoplasty surgery takes place in several stages. Its duration is 1 to 4 hours depending on complexity. The incision is cutaneous, mucosal or both. The skin is lifted to access the structures. Cartilage and bone remodeling is performed. Anesthesia is general or local with sedation.
What are the post-operative consequences?
Post-operative consequences of rhinoplasty are well codified. A splint or cast is worn for about a week. Swelling and bruising may persist for several days. Respiratory discomfort from temporary nasal congestion is common. Local care prevents infections. Intense physical activities and sun exposure should be avoided.
