What is Rhinoplasty?<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Rhinoplasty<\/a> is the medical term for a nose job, a cosmetic procedure to repair or reshape the nose. It can change the size, width, and profile of the nose; smooth out bumps and depressions; reshape the nasal tip and reduce large or wide nostrils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People in Havertown opt for nose jobs for a wide variety of reasons. Many do so for cosmetic reasons; a nose job can help restore self-confidence and make you feel more positive about your appearance. Nose jobs are often performed for restorative purposes, as well. Those with medical defects such as a deviated septum<\/a> may turn to rhinoplasty in order to relieve pain and pressure and reduce unpleasant symptoms such as congestion, nosebleeds, snoring and sleep apnea<\/a>, loss of smell, and more. Accident victims and those who have suffered facial trauma may also undergo a nose job in order to improve appearance and functionality of the nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does a Nose Job Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rhinoplasty is generally considered a safe and effective procedure. Thousands of operations have been performed in Havertown and around the world, and a majority of patients end up pleased with the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re undergoing a nose job<\/a>, you\u2019ll be given a local or general anesthetic. Your surgeon will make an incision inside your nostrils and, depending on what you are wanting done, either reduce or enlarge your nose. If you\u2019re having a deviated septum corrected, your nose will be realigned and straightened. When finished, your surgeon will close the incisions and you\u2019ll be given a splint and nasal packing to provide your nose with support while it heals. The entire procedure is usually completed within 1-2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In most cases you\u2019ll be sent home the same day, though complex procedures might require a brief hospital stay. Your doctor will urge you to get plenty of rest and keep your head elevated for a few days. Complications are rare, but all surgical procedures carry a small risk. You are likely to experience some puffiness and minor bruising for a few days after your surgery. In rare cases, infection, bleeding, pain, swelling, numbness, nasal asymmetry, irregular skin contours, and septal perforations may occur. The majority of patients can remove their splint and packing after a week and resume a normal schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
