How is a nose job done?

Answer 1

Before any surgery, you�ll need to monitor your medication and vitamin intake. Some medications can cause blood loss and other circulation issues, interfere with the anesthesia, or inhibit your recovery. To avoid such issues, be sure you disclose all medication, vitamins � including herbal supplements �to your plastic surgeon.

Note: Your plastic surgeon will provide a detailed list of medications, vitamins, and other activities to avoid before your surgery. The list below only provides an overview; you should follow your doctor�s advice for tips specific to your situation.

Medications and vitamins to avoid before surgery

• Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol approx two weeks before surgery.
• Aspirin, MAOIs and other anti-inflammatory drugs increase bleeding and therefore, should be avoided several weeks prior to surgery.
• Avoid Vitamin K approximately three days before surgery.
• Products that contain Aspirin, Vitamin E, or Evening Primrose oil
• Herbal supplements, such as St John�s Wort, Echinacea, and Melatonin

On the day of surgery:

• Wear comfortable, loose clothing that doesn�t need to be pulled over your head.
• Don�t wear make-up.
• If you are in an outpatient facility, be sure to arrange a ride home.

Most importantly, discuss any concerns you have about the procedure before you have surgery. It is normal to be nervous and many plastic surgeons are used to putting patients at ease. If it makes you feel more comfortable, have your plastic surgeon review each step of the procedure and list all medications and anesthesia involved multiple times. A little reassurance goes a long way as a relaxed patient is one that recovers faster.

A nose job, or rhinoplasty, is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures conducted today. There are several types of traditional nose jobs that help change the look of your nose. Here are the typical steps you'll take during pre-surgery, surgery descriptions and a few notes about possible revision surgeries. Determining your new nose: After you select your board-certified (by the American Board of Plastic Surgery) plastic surgeon, you'll have a consultation with your doctor to determine which procedure is best for you, how they should change your nose and any risks or complications for the procedure. Other things you should share with your surgeon: * Your ethnicity. Some ethnicities have very prominent nose features. Discuss whether you want these features slightly altered or removed altogether. Some patients are concerned about their new appearance if they see their features removed or dramatically changed. * Why you want a nose job. Do you have nose trauma that impacts how your nose functions? Do you have a large bump you need to remove? Do you just want to alter the appearance slightly? Plastic surgeons will not perform procedures on those who only want to feel better about their life and relationships. Those who want to feel better and more confident about themselves are usually the best candidates. Determining which nose job you'll have: A nose job consists of the cutting and re-shaping of the skin around your nose bone and cartilage. Plastic surgeons will use either an open or close procedure to reshape the nose. Both are very similar and each has their pros and cons. * Open rhinoplasty: The external skin between the nostrils is cut horizontally, which allows the plastic surgeon to easily access the areas of the nose that require surgery. There is an extra incision on the outside of the nose, but it is usually not visible once you recover from surgery. * Closed rhinoplasty. Unlike the open procedure, the skin between the nostrils is not cut and the surgeon, instead, makes an incision inside the nose. Post-surgery: What if you don't like your new nose? Rhinoplasty alters a person's appearance greatly and, often, many are shocked at how different they look. Some are happy with their new look and some are not and require a secondary rhinoplasty or a revision rhinoplasty. Revisions are difficult to complete, as you have to handle the scar tissue from the initial procedure. Before you have the initial surgery, be sure to discuss how your plastic surgeon handles revisions. More importantly, be sure to clearly outline your expectations and make sure you understand how your new nose will appear. This will lessen the likelihood of a difficult revision and going into surgery more than once.

The commonest type of 'nose job' operation is called a septorhinoplasty. This procedure corrects a deviated nasal septum (the middle bit of cartilage). Of these, there are two types - a CLOSED or an OPEN operation. The closed operation is less fiddly for the surgeon and will take less time, but there are much greater limitations on what he/she can achieve.

The open operation is classed as major surgery, usually taking around 4 hours to complete. A small incision is made at the point where the septum joins the upper lip. Further incisions are then made around the inside of each nostril. This releases the upper layers of skin on the nose, and these are then retracted back to reveal the septum itself and the nasal bones. The nasal bones are then usually broken in two or three pieces, and the septum removed temporarily. It is then re-stitched onto the face and may be bolstered up with small pieces of plastic to strengthen it. The nasal bones will be realligned so that now both the nose and its septum are straight. Depending on the patient, bone can also be filed away to flatten the bridge of the nose. Everything is then stitched back together.

Nasal packs (effectively tampons) are then inserted into the nose to stem any bleeding. A strong splint is cast over the nose to hold it in place while the bones heal. The patient should also be given regular antibiotics (both topical and systemic) to avoid infection. 24 hours after the procedure the packs can be removed and if there is no significant bleeding, the patient can be discharged.

You should plan ten to fourteen days off work after a nose job. There is going to be some bruising and swelling to the nose and cheeks, and maybe a black eye or two. This is normal and it takes a couple of weeks or so for most of it to settle down. The Surgeon may also apply a splint to the nose for the first week or so.

All this means you will not look your best in the days that follow th surgery. Plan to rest at home and take things easy for a short while.
