Rhinoplasty, or as they often say, rhinoplasty, is one of the most frequently performed plastic surgeries.. And, probably, in terms of the number of operations, it is on the same level as mammoplasty. Very often, it is girls in a state of uncertainty and depression who seek rhinoplasty for aesthetic purposes in order to change the shape and size of the nose..

Rhinoplasty allows you to completely transform a person, after the operation, patients leave with a completely different internal state, gaining self-confidence, and sometimes even the character changes, - experts at the Medeira clinic note. Rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty allows you to change any part of the nose (get rid of the hump, narrow the back of the nose, change the tip of the nose, make the nose with a deflection, eliminate a nose defect after an injury, reduce the nostrils). In 80% of cases, rhinoplasty is performed in combination with septoplasty (correction of a deviated nasal septum) for those patients whose nasal breathing function is impaired.

According to Medeira clinic experts, there are several myths about rhinoplasty.

•Myth 1: Rhinoplasty is performed only by women. This is not true, we are approached by quite a lot of men who want to change the shape and size of the nose after an injury..

• Myth 2: After rhinoplasty, nasal breathing may worsen and the sense of smell may disappear. This is wrong. On the contrary, rhinoplasty in combination with septoplasty allows you to restore the function of nasal breathing.. As for the sense of smell, the receptors are quite far from those parts of the nose on which rhinoplasty is performed, so the sense of smell after the operation is not disturbed..

• Myth 3: closed rhinoplasty is better than open rhinoplasty. This is an absolute myth, since only with open rhinoplasty we can visually control the stages of the operation and guarantee a visual result according to a 3D forecast..

Rhinoplasty in duration takes from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the degree of complexity of the operation, the volume of intervention and the features of the anatomy of the nose. Rhinoplasty is performed under general (endotracheal) anesthesia, which provides control over the rhinoplasty operation, as well as comfort for the patient and the surgeon.

After the operation, the patient stays overnight in the hospital..

The rehabilitation period lasts from 7-10 days, during this time the patient wears a special plate on the nose, and by this time bruises and swelling occur, after which he fully returns to his normal rhythm of life. But after the operation, the nose will still be swollen, so do not be afraid of this, the swelling will go away gradually, and in a few months you can already see the result..
