The
nose is the most defining characteristic
of the face and so a slight alteration
can greatly improve one’s appearance.
Some people are unhappy with the nose
they were born with, or with the way
aging has changed their nose; some have
had an injury, which has distorted their
nose, and others desire to improve their
breathing. Cosmetic surgery on the nose
is performed to bring the nose shape
into harmony with the face, thereby
improving overall appearance, which can
also
bring improved social acceptance.
Nose
tip correction and Complete Rhinoplasty
A
"Nose Tip Correction" or
"Soft Nose Correction" refines
the shape of the lower parts of the
nose, in the area of the nose tip and
the columella. In contrary to the
complete Rhinoplasty by the soft nose
correction only the soft parts of the
nose are involved and refined.
Complete
Rhinoplasty: Open and closed Rhinoplasty
There
is no standard procedure or ideal in
Complete Nose Reshaping or Complete
Rhinoplasty. However, the Closed
Rhinoplasty is usually preferred by
the experienced Specialists. More skills
are required, but no visible scars are
left at all. The surgery is performed
exclusively through incisions inside the
nose, where they are invisible.
Occasionally, when external incisions
are necessary [Open Rhinoplasty],
an incision is made across the base of
the columella, the strut between the two
nostrils. In this case, the scars are
very small and inconspicuously placed.
During the surgery, the surgeon
separates the skin of the nose from the
underlying bone and cartilage. Certain
amounts of the bone and cartilage are
removed, added to or rearranged to
provide a newly shaped structure. The
tissues are then repositioned over the
new frame, incisions are closed, and the
natural elasticity of the skin is
allowed to reshape over the new
framework. At the conclusion of the
procedure, a plaster splint is applied
to the outside of the nose to help
retain the new shape and reduce swelling
while the nose heals. Swelling and
bruising around the nose and eyes is
expected for a couple of weeks.
