Contraindications for rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a fairly complex surgical operation, which is performed under anesthesia and has a long period of rehabilitation andan impressive list of contraindications. First of all, it should be noted that rhinoplasty can be performed only at the age when the facial bone tissue is fully formed. As a rule, in women this moment occurs when they reach the age of 15-16, and in men at 16-17 years. Plastic surgery on the nose is not recommended in the presence of the following contraindications: the presence of skin diseases, diabetes mellitus, infectious diseases, blood clotting disorders, kidney and liver diseases. in the work of the cardiovascular system. Before the operation, as a rule, a comprehensive examination is prescribed, during which the patient must pass a series of tests.
Hump Removal
One of the most common reasons why women and men turn to surgeons for such a complex procedure as plastic surgery on the nose is the presence of a hump on the bridge of the nose. According to the structure of the septum, the hump can be formed by cartilage, bone tissue, or a combination of these two elements. The goal of plastic surgery in this case is to create a more aesthetic profile, in which the nose would look natural, harmonize with the general features of the face, and also emphasize the beauty of the eyes and lips. The operation to remove the hump is divided into three main stages:
- The bone and cartilage part of the skeleton of the nose is released from the skin tissue by dissection.
- Partial removal of part of the upper lateral cartilage and nasal septum.
- Removal of the bony part of the hump using a hammer and chisel. In the event that the hump is small, then part of the bone tissue is removed with a rasp (file).
Nose tip surgery
Nose plastic surgery to correct the tip is a way to improve facial proportions. The operation is performed in a closed way, in the process soft tissues are affected, as well as cartilage and colummelae. The plastic surgeon dissects the cartilage and removes it from the place where there is disproportion and excess tissue, and adds it to another place. Most often, patients are dissatisfied with the thickness of the tip of the nose, so during the operation it is made thinner and becomes sharper and more protruding. Nasal tip plastic surgery also involves reshaping the nostrils, colummela, and nose contour.
Correction of a wide back of the nose
A wide nose makes the face rustic and gives its owner a lot of inconvenience. At the same time, plastic surgery of the wide back of the nose allows you to make facial features more refined and attractive. During the operation, the plastic surgeon makes incisions in the skin at the base of the nostrils, then removes excess parts of the back of the nose and skin, and then sutures. If the nose is not only wide, but also flat, then it is advisable to carry out augmentation rhinoplasty, in which the bridge of the nose rises and increases, anduse a special frame from the patient's tissues - cartilage and bones.
Correction of a deformed nasal septum
Deviation of the nasal septum can occur for various reasons - in the process of growth and development, after injury, as a result of a fracture of the bones of the nose. In addition, a deviated septum can cause such inconveniences to the patient as difficulty breathing, drying out of the mucous membrane, snoring, chronic diseases of the paranasal sinuses, allergic diseases, changes in the shape of the nose. In the presence of side effects, the patient is prescribed together with rhinoplasty and septoplasty, which allows you to restore respiratory function.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Nose plastic surgery is not the only method for correcting facial aesthetic defects. Modern technologies and the latest techniques make it possible to correct the shape of the nose without surgical interventions. Non-surgical rhinoplasty involves the injection of a special gel into problem areas of the nose. The technique allows you to correct minor defects in the shape of the nose - dips, cavities, unevenness of the bridge of the nose and eliminate the hump. During the procedure, an anesthetic cream is applied, and a filler is introduced into problem areas, which consists of hyaluronic acid and calcium and acts as an implant. The procedure usually does not cause side effects, and the injected substances are well accepted by the body.

The success of the operation to correct the shape of the nose largely depends on the professionalism of the plastic surgeon, so his choice should be treated with particular care, since it is this person who will be entrusted with his appearance, beauty and he alth. When choosing a plastic surgeon, it is important to pay attention to such qualities as high skill, a good base of fundamental knowledge in the field of anatomy and rhinoplasty, experience in performing similar operations, a developed sense of harmony and a sense of beauty, because a surgeon is not just a doctor, but also a creator of ideal forms and facial features.

Choosing the type of anesthesia
When performing rhinoplasty, 2 types of anesthesia are used:
- Local anesthesia.
- General anesthesia.
Local anesthesia is a chipping of the soft tissues of the nose with a solution of "Lidocaine", "Marcaine" or "Xylocaine". The principle of local anesthesia is that it blocks nerve impulses, so the patient will not feel pain.
In the process of general anesthesia, the patient's consciousness is switched off and immersed in a deep sleep. Most often, intravenous anesthesia is used for general anesthesia, during which special substances are introduced into the patient's body using a dropper, while the patient breathes on his own and regains consciousness when the drugs are stopped. Another type of anesthesia is intubation, which consists in bringing inhalation anesthetics to the patient's airways through a tube that is inserted through the mouth into the trachea.
Rehabilitation after plastic surgery
During the rehabilitation period, it is necessary to wear a plaster splint for 7 days - this contributes to the proper fusion and formation of bone, cartilage and soft tissues. Special turundas are inserted into the nasal passages, which allow the tissues to grow together correctly. There may be a slight increase in temperature after surgery.
In nasal care after surgeryincludes lubricating the cavities with a special ointment, changing bandages, cleaning the nasal passages. In the postoperative period, sleep is shown only on the back. Bruises and swelling under the eyes pass fairly quickly. However, these minor inconveniences cannot be compared with the result that rhinoplasty can achieve. In order for patients to be able to decide on an important step in their lives and not be afraid to undergo rhinoplasty, photography is carried out in clinics. This is required by any plastic surgery on the nose. Before and after (photos of patients allow you to appreciate the difference) of the operation, you can clearly see the achieved cosmetic effect.
