What is rhinoplasty?

Are you unhappy with the appearance of your nose? Are you thinking of new ways to structure it? Consider a rhinoplasty. It’s a standard cosmetic surgery that alters your nose shape and improves its appearance without interfering with breathing function. Rhinoplasty can also correct a broken nose or deviated septum.  

  

Stanford Clinic offers the best rhinoplasty surgery in Bahrain, using advanced equipment and experienced professionals. The doctors at Stanford Clinic follow a personalized and meticulous approach to achieving optimal results. 

What is a rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a famous nose-reshaping surgery, where the minimal surgical incisions are made. The surgeon separates the skin from bone and cartilage to reshape the nose structure.    

To get the desired shape, the surgeon makes necessary adjustments to the nasal membrane, add or trim cartilage grafts, or reposition the nasal bones. After making the required changes, the surgeon replaces the skin, closing all the incisions. 

The process can reduce the length of a nose, restructure the nasal tip, and even reduce a bump or dorsal hump. This type of rhinoplasty is popular among people with smaller noses and less asymmetry.  

How to prepare for a rhinoplasty?

Proper preparation ensures smooth surgery and perfect results. Follow the preparation tips listed below for a successful rhinoplasty.  

  

Consider an expert surgeon. 

Consider professional and qualified surgeons to get the best care and results. At Stanford Clinic, we have a team of certified facial plastic surgeons with years of expertise in rhinoplasty.  

  

Comprehensive consultation 

Ensure a detailed consultation with the surgeon. The surgeon will analyze your nose structure, convey your goals, and choose the right procedure. Ask any questions regarding the procedure or healing time.  

  

Adhere to pre-operative instructions. 

Follow the surgeon’s instructions for a smooth procedure. Some precautions include not smoking or drinking before the procedure. If necessary, take any medications and arrange for transport after the procedure.  

  

Recovery steps 

Make your post-surgery clean and comfy. Ice packs, soft meals, and prescribed painkillers can speed up healing.  

What are the rhinoplasty procedure steps?

  • The rhinoplasty takes around 2 hours, and the surgery takes place under general anesthesia.  
  • To make the patient safe and comfortable during the procedure, surgeons give general anesthesia. 
  • In the next step, the surgeon makes a few incisions to reach the nasal structure. . 
  • The surgeon changes the cartilage, nose bones, or membranes as discussed.  
  • After the procedure, the surgeon will close the incisions with necessary sutures.  
  • After the process, you will be monitored in the recovery area. The medical staff will monitor your health after the surgery. 

Rhinoplasty recovery and aftercare

  • Following the surgery, rest for the initial days. Proper rest can reduce the swelling and speed up the mending process. 
  • Avoid physical activities or heavy exercises for at least two to three weeks.  
  • Listen to the surgeon’s instructions and ensure proper nose care. 
  • Be patient to witness the results because it takes months for the soft tissues, nasal skin, and nasal structure to heal and settle in their corrected position.  

Possible risk associated with rhinoplasty

  • Nosebleeds 
  • Breathing difficulty 
  • Numb nose 
  • Allergic to anesthesia 
  • Asymmetrical nose 

Closed rhinoplasty vs. open rhinoplasty

Open and closed rhinoplasty are the two primary options for changing the look of your nose. Each method offers unique pros and cons. Open rhinoplasty makes a small external incision, allowing enlarged access to the nasal structure. It’s a good option for complex nose structure and major nose repositioning. Alternatively, closed rhinoplasty involves internal incisions without any visible scar. Moreover, it’s a quick surgery and ensures faster recovery time.   

Choosing between a closed rhinoplasty or open rhinoplasty depends on the patient’s needs, required degree of correction, nasal anatomy, and surgeon’s preference.
