Rhinoplasty (Cosmetic surgery of the nose)
The indication for rhinoplasty is to change the appearance of the nose, its function or both.Very often this plastic surgery of the nose has to be done along with a septal correction or an endoscopic sinus surgery. An endoscopic surgeon trained in rhinoplasty will be the best person to deal with such a situation in a single stage.
Hospital stay, & recovery
Admission & discharge:
The patient is admitted the day before,& is discharged the day after.
Duration of surgery:
The surgery takes approximately 2-3 hours.
Postoperative period:
We do not usually keep any nasal packs. An aluminium cast is kept over the nose which is removed a week later on the 1st follow-up visit.
The nasal dorsum and tip swelling settles down completely in 6 months and 1 year respectively. So the patient has to wait for one year for the final look.
