Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is commonly known as a nose job. It is a surgical procedure that corrects and reconstructs the form of the nose. Rhinoplasty also aesthetically enhances the nose by resolving issues of nasal trauma, a congenital defect, or any respiratory blockages in the nose. It also removes a bump, narrows nostril width, and changes the angle between the nose and the mouth. It also corrects injuries, birth defects, or any other problem that restricts normal breathing such as deviated nasal septum or sinus condition.
Types of Rhinoplasty
There are various types of rhinoplasty:
- Reduction Rhinoplasty
Reduction Rhinoplasty
Reduction rhinoplasty is basically for patients who are concerned with the issue that the size of their nose is not proportionate with their facial features. Also, the most common concerns of the patients are regarding the presence of any bump on the bridge of the nose, excessive width of the bridge tip of the nose, or excessive width of the nostrils
- Augmentation Rhinoplasty
It refers to the type of rhinoplasty where the dimension of the nose is increased. This may be in the case of congenital underdevelopment incurred after injuries on the nose.
- Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Ethnic rhinoplasty takes into consideration the nasal shape, skin, and proportions of the face. It is performed as an open procedure. Incisions are made on the vertical strip of the skin which separates the nostrils. To enable the surgeon to see the nasal anatomy, the skin and soft tissues are elevated from the underlying structures.
- Post-traumatic Rhinoplasty
Often injuries to the nose lead to damage to the bone and cartilage support. Such injuries change the appearance of the nose and result in deviations, asymmetries, and respiratory problems. Post-traumatic rhinoplasty fixes the deviations of the bones and cartilages of the nose caused post-injury.
Benefits of rhinoplasty
Other than cosmetic enhancement, rhinoplasty possesses great benefits that are advantageous to the overall health of the patient.
