Every
year, thousands of people choose to change the shape
or size of their nose. Nose surgery is a small change
that can have a tremendous impact on how you feel about
yourself. Besides improving appearance, nose surgery
or rhinoplasty can also correct birth defects or breathing
problems. Teens are best treated after their growth
spurt, around age 14 for girls and 15 to 16 for boys.

Nose
surgery is performed in the surgeon's office, an outpatient
surgical facility or in a hospital. Most procedures
are on an outpatient basis, although complex procedures
may require a short overnight stay. Either local or
general anesthesia may be used. Incisions are often
made inside the nostrils or base of the nose, allowing
the cartilage and bone to be sculpted into the desired
form.
The
Nose Surgery Procedure
If
the nostrils need reshaping, small wedges of skin can
be removed from the base, bringing the edges closer
together to improve nasal breathing. The septum also
may be reshaped or partially removed. After nose surgery
there will be a "full" feeling to the facial
area, some nasal discomfort, and perhaps a dull headache
controlled with pain medications.
After
Nose Surgery
Most
patients spend the first 24 hours in bed with their
head elevated on a pillow. Swelling and bruising around
the eyes is common for the first few days but can be
reduced with cold compresses. Within one or two weeks
all dressings, splint and sutures are removed and the
"full" feeling subsides. Most patients avoid
work or social situations during the first week of recovery
and strenuous activity must be limited for the first
few weeks. Results from nose surgery can last indefinitely.
As
with any medical procedure, there are certain risks
associated with nose surgery, which should be discussed
with a qualified physician.
