Nose Lift, Nose Augmentation or Rhinoplasty
A popular cosmetic surgery called RHINOPLASTY or better known as NOSELIFT can help shape better confidence in facial looks by creating a nose that’s more compatible with the rest of the facial features. This procedure is designed to reduce or increase the size of the nose, change the shape of the tip or bridge and thin the width of the nostrils. Rhinoplasty or Nose surgery can also restore proper breathing and function by correcting nasal deformities, both congenital and resulting from injury. The
surgery: This operation
involves by inserting a cartilage graft, a gore-tex
implant or a silicon implant to increase the height of the tip and the
bridge of the nose. The operation lasts for approximately an hour; the
more complex procedures may last longer. At Beaufaces,
we prefer the closed method, with incisions performed inside the nose.
We are reserving the open procedure for the more complicated cases.
After the surgery, the nose is covered with nasal splint and bandage.
The surgery is usually done at the clinic under local anesthesia and as
an outpatient basis. Post Nose Lift/ Nose Augmentation surgery:While recuperating at home, the patient is advised to take antibiotics, pain reliever and antihistamine. These medicines prescribed by Dr. Alonzo should be strictly followed to avoid any further complication. You will be required to see our surgeon, on the third day for the removal of the bandage/splint then on the 7th day and 10th day for the removal of stitches. Post Nose surgery recovery:During the first days after the operation, the patient may feel little pain and discomfort due to face swollen (especially on the lower eyelids) and nose puffiness. In this case, you can control any discomfort with a pain medication prescribe by Dr. Alonzo. Applying cold compress will also reduce swelling which will obviously relieve these symptoms. You should not be alarmed if there is some bleeding from the incision site, as this is normal and often resolve within 2 days. Swelling and bruising around the eyes will start to disappear within a week and will completely subside for about 2 weeks. You can go back to work in 1 to 2 weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided in the next 2 to 3 weeks. After the removal of the bandage and stitches, you must take care of your nose and avoid getting it injured until it is completely healed. The frames of glasses should not be allowed to rest on the bridge of the nose for three weeks. You can wear contact lenses within two to three days after the surgery. Rhinoplasty/noselift can be enhanced further with other cosmetic surgery procedures such as eyebag removal, eyelid creation, dimple construction, cleft chin, dimple construction and botox injection. “Rhinoplasty achieves an aesthetic balance on the face, the result thereof being the boost of your self-confidence.” |
