Facial symmetry plays a critical role in determining the attractiveness of your face. The nose has been crucial in considerations of human beauty. Perhaps that's why rhinoplasty is the most popular plastic surgery in Lebanon and other countries. So if you are also planning to get a nose surgery done to improve its shape and size, then this post is for you.

 

First, let's check out the reasons why people undergo rhinoplasty.

 

Rhinoplasty changes or improves the symmetry and functionality of a nose to bring it in proportion to the rest of the face. When performed by a professional and skilled plastic surgeon, it can bring rewarding changes to your overall look. A surgeon reshapes the bone, cartilage or skin to bring desired changes in the nose. So here are some reasons why people want to undergo rhinoplasty surgery:

 

  • Straighten a crooked nose
  • Reduce the size of the nose
  • Increase or decrease the size of nostrils
  • Smoothen the bridge of the nose
  • Restore symmetry after injury or accident
  • Correct breathing problems in case of sinus or other medical problems
  • Narrow the nose size if it is too broad for the face

 

Rhinoplasty is an outpatient surgery which means you can leave the hospital on the same day. There are two types of surgical rhinoplasty: closed rhinoplasty in which incisions are made within the nostrils, and open rhinoplasty in an incision are made between the nostrils and within the nostrils. In liquid rhinoplasty, which is also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty, injectable hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the nose to improve its shape and size.
 

What will happen after this plastic surgery?
 

If you are a healthy person and have set realistic goals, then you can undergo rhinoplasty. You can expect significant swelling or edema for up to 8 weeks after this plastic surgery is done. If nasal bony or cartilage work is done, you can expect the swelling to last for more than 6 months. You will feel pain but it is well controlled using medications.

If it is a surgical rhinoplasty, you will begin to feel better after a week and socialize after 2-3 weeks. Your nose may feel stuffy and create breathing problems. Everything can be controlled if you follow your surgeon's instructions properly. Non-surgical rhinoplasty does not take much time to heal but the result may be apparent after 1 week and the final result after a few weeks.
