What is Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty)?
If you are unhappy with the shape of your nose, you may want to consider nose reshaping. Candidates for nose reshaping desire a nose that is cosmetically more attractive or in better proportion to other facial features.
What is Involved?
- The procedure is done as a day surgery in our Surgical Centre, most often using general anesthesia.
- With rhinoplasty, work is done on the cartilage and bone that form the structure of your nose. In most cases the incisions will be placed inside your nose or perhaps a short incision across the columella that separates the nostrils.
What is the Healing Time?
- The patient goes home with an external splint in place. The splint is usually removed in 7 to 10 days time.
- Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Patients are feeling very well after the first 48 hours.
- Bruising subsides in 7 to 10 days, slight swelling may last a few weeks or months.
- Most patients take 2 to 3 weeks off work if they work with the public.
