Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to modify the shape or size of the nose. It differs from septoplasty, which is the treatment of the deviation of the nasal septum. However, both operations can be performed at the same time by the surgeon. This is called rhinoseptoplasty.
A successful rhinoplasty requires high technical skill from the surgeon, and an excellent artistic flair. In accordance with your expectations and after analysis of your nose by our specialist, an intervention plan will be proposed to you.
Different rhinoplasty techniques exist, your cosmetic surgeon will propose the best option possible so that the results of the intervention are compliant with those established in the preoperative project, that your future nose is in accordance with your face, and that they correspond to your expectations.
The duration of a surgical rhinoplasty varies between 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on the reconstruction and is performed under general anesthesia.
At the end of the operation, a splint is placed to protect and stabilize the nose. Wicks (absorbent dressings) are also placed in the nasal cavity and will be kept in place for several days. Edema, sometimes coupled with bruising of the eyelids, is generally the logical outcome of this procedure. They fade and disappear on average within 8 days.
The pain is minimal and can be neutralized by an analgesic prescribed by the surgeon.
