How to Minimize the Risks of Rhinoplasty?
Written by Deepak Kumar
A renowned Indian news paper reported that British model Kate Middleton’s ‘cute nose’ with rounded tip is getting very popular among women across the globe. The number of those demanding the same fixture has significantly increased. Gone are the days when people used to think that cosmetic surgery is an affair concerned only with the celebs. Being the third most popular cosmetic surgery after liposuction and breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery and nose reshaping, however is a complex procedure. And, it needs to be done only by a professional rhinoplasty surgeo
India. There is no dearth of cases in which people were not satisfied with the contour they received after the surgery. The cause of the problem though was an untrained surgeon.
Here, we must remember that nose is not the organ responsible only for making our looks perfect, but its main or primary function is to make us breath. Earlier nose surgery was invented to correct the breathing problems, but these days cosmetic surgery is done primarily to improve function and work. Following are some of reasons to get a nose surgery:
- For congenital defect
- To correct and reconstruct the form of nose
- Improve facial symmetry and overall appearance, i.e. correcting a deviated, slanted, or twisted nose, or crooked tip
- To restore the functions and enhancing the nose by resolving nasal trauma
- Improved breathing
- To alter nose
- Respiratory impediment
- Indentations or a failed primary nose surgery
- To change the angle of the nose in relation to the upper lip
- To correct bumps
The results of nose surgery may be minor or significant depending on what type of correction you want. It’s important to discuss your goals of the surgery with the surgeon and to set realistic expectations and discuss about how realistic and practical they are. Although the results of nose surgery are permanent but subsequent injuries or other factors may alter the appearance of your nose. The surgery is done on a fully developed nose. Full development occurs commonly by age 15-16 in females and by the age 17-18 in males. If the surgery is developed before this age the nose can alter the surgical results and cause complications.
The tapes and light splints are applied over the nose after the surgery. If septum is corrected, nostrils are sometimes packed with dressing. After the surgery being completed you can go back to your home and have light meals. Most of the splints and dressings are taken off after seven days and one can resume normal light activities. The surgery also involves some risks, including:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Difficulty breathing
- Change in the skin sensation
- Scarring or poor wound healing
- Not achieving desired results
- Skin discoloring
- Swelling
- Permanent damage
In order to avoid these complications, you should get your surgery done by a certified and experienced rhinoplasty surgeo
India. There are various clinics and medical centers offering nose surgery, but Global Rhinoplasty is the finest one in India.
