Nose
surgery improves the appearance and proportion of your nose,
enhancing facial harmony and self confidence. Surgery of
the nose may also correct impaired breathing caused by structural
abnormalities in the nose.
Medications are administered for your comfort during the
surgical procedure. The choices include intravenous sedation
or general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best
choice for you.
Surgery of the nose is performed either using a closed procedure,
where incisions are hidden inside the nose, or an open procedure,
where an incision is made across the columella, the narrow
strip of tissue that separates the nostrils.
Through these incisions, the soft tissues that cover the
nose are gently raised, allowing access to reshape the structure
of the nose.
After your procedure is completed, a splint, internal tubes
or packing will likely be placed inside your nose for around
three days and a splint or bandages (during a week) placed
on the outside to support and protect the new structures
during initial healing.
Surgery of the nose improves the appearance and proportion
of your nose, enhancing facial harmony and self confidence
and may also correct impaired breathing caused by
structural abnormalities in the nose.
