Rhinoplasty is one of the most important rhinoplasty procedures nowadays. It is a comprehensive procedure that involves implantation of appropriate materials to change the height and shape of the nose to improve the appearance of collapsed nose, crooked nose, traumatized nose, pilonidal nose, humped nose, etc. The ideal rhinoplasty procedure is not consistent from country to country and from one country to another. The ideal rhinoplasty is not consistent from country to country, ethnicity to ethnicity, or person to person. The ideal length of the external nose is 1/3 of the length of the face; the ideal width of the external nose is the width of one eye, which is also known as the “three courts and five eyes”; however, the shape of the nose does not meet the aesthetic standards of a large number of people, so rhinoplasty to correct the undesirable appearance of the nose came into being, and has become the most popular cosmetic surgery, second only to blepharoplasty. How does rhinoplasty work? Rhinoplasty usually takes 1-2 hours, and complex procedures may take longer. During the surgery, the surgeon will separate the skin of the nose from the nasal bone and cartilage underneath it, and then depending on your requirements and the surgeon’s skill, the nasal bone and cartilage will be sculpted or directly implanted with already sculpted nasal scaffolds to achieve your desired results. Finally, the skin is sutured back into place from new. Most of the rhinoplasty incisions are made inside the nostrils, and no traces can be seen after the surgery. The implants are made of materials that are well compatible with human tissues, such as silicone rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene, and rejection is extremely rare, as well as easy to sculpt and shape. Some more complicated surgeries often require an incision on the nasal columella, which leaves an inconspicuous scar on the columella after surgery. What should I pay attention to after rhinoplasty? 1, after rhinoplasty oral routine antibiotics for 3 days; 2, rhinoplasty wound coated with antibiotic ointment, exposed, not bandaged, there will be a small amount of blood seepage, can be used to disinfect cotton swabs and gently applied, do not use unclean things to contact with the wound, so as not to contaminate; 3, the surgical incision is generally located in the inner edge of the nostrils on the one side, postoperative washing should be avoided to get it wet; 4, the postoperative period should pay attention to the protection of nose do not be subjected to external forces; in particular, note that You should pay attention to protect the nose from external force after surgery; especially pay attention to not sleeping on the side to avoid extrusion of the nose; 5, the nose will be swollen after surgery, which will be more obvious in 2-3 days after surgery, and can be basically subsided after one week; 6, the sutures can be removed after seven days of surgery to recover basically, and can be completely restored to naturalness in 1-3 months after surgery; 7, the swelling will be subsided in one week or so, and you can see a new and perfect image after one month. What are the commonly used prosthesis materials for rhinoplasty? 1, solid silicone nasal prosthesis has a certain degree of elasticity and hardness, there are “L” type and willow leaf type solid silicone prosthesis, the operation is simple and easy, the price is relatively low. Doctors according to the patient’s nose shape carving personalized prosthesis, postoperative form of natural and realistic. 2, autologous cartilage – autologous bone tissue rhinoplasty is one of the materials used in rhinoplasty materials earlier. Its main advantage is that it is easy to survive after transplantation and no rejection reaction will occur. The autologous bone tissue used for rhinoplasty is mostly taken from rib and ear cartilage. Autologous bone is inconvenient to take, the bone source is limited, and cutting will also cause the second pain of the patient, and even complications and other consequences. In the long term, bone resorption can also occur, resulting in changes in external morphology, which is difficult for the patient to accept. For complex nasal deformity or serious saddle nose correction use more. 3, hyaluronic acid – hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronic acid, is an indispensable component in the skin tissue structure of living organisms, as part of the body tissues, its histocompatibility is very good. Although hyaluronic acid injections for nose job have the limitation of being absorbed by the body, it is non-invasive, fast-acting, safe, and has the function of moisturizing, which can increase the elasticity, lubrication and maintain the softness of the skin. The nose shape after hyaluronic acid molding is natural and straight, and will not produce a hard feeling. 4.Autologous fat: There will be no inflammation and broken tip of the nose, which is common with artificial materials. There will not be any side effects caused by the quality of artificial materials. There will not be any late complications. After the fat is partially absorbed in about three months, most of the fat survives in the nose for a long time and grows together with the surrounding tissues, and there will be no redness or whitening of the skin that often occurs with prosthesis. Because it is autologous material, it avoids the physiological problems that some people feel that the prosthesis is always in the body. There is no fear of any squeezing or bumping after surgery. There is no scar from the surgery, only a small pinhole, fast healing and swelling. Can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty? It is forbidden to wear heavy glasses for about 2-4 weeks after rhinoplasty, and you should insist on doing cold compresses on your face, and keep your head up in a raised position for about 5 days, and even when you are lying down, you should elevate your head or back with 2-3 quilts, which will help to reduce the swelling as soon as possible.
