1. Do you need a Nose Job?

“Do you need a rhinoplasty?” is the first question you should be able to answer. You should be very clear about the reasons for which you want to have a nose job. Various reasons for Rhinoplasty include the following:

To repair the nose after an injury
To correct a birth defect like cleft palate and cleft lip
Deviated septum
Any nasal polyps or masses
Nasal inflammation due to chronic allergies
To correct breathing problems
To alter the shape or size of the nose if somebody is dissatisfied with it, etc

If you have suffered an injury or have breathing difficulties because of some issue with the physical aspect of your nose, you should consult a surgeon. Your surgeon will examine you and your condition in-depth and decide whether a nose job is a suitable choice for you or not.

Suppose you do not suffer from any health conditions and only want to change your nose to look a certain way. In that case, you should be very clear about the whole procedure and what risks and benefits it involves. Consultation with a surgeon will help you make a better choice.

2. Are you in good health?

These criteria include:

Your facial growth should have been complete when you decide to go for the surgery
You should be a non-smoker.
You should have overall good health.
You should be aware of the procedure and should have realistic expectations from the surgery.

Some psychological reasons why patients choose to have Rhinoplasty include:

Dissatisfaction with the shape of the nose.
Dissatisfaction with the size or angle of the nose, etc.

Rhinoplasty has been shown to affect the psychological aspects of the patient in many positive ways. But this is true only when the patients have good mental health and do not have any unrealistic expectations from the procedure.

3. What do you need to know before Rhinoplasty?

Once you have decided to go for Rhinoplasty, there are certain things you need to know. You should choose only the best surgeon for your surgery because a nose job is one of the most challenging surgeries on the face. Getting a rhinoplasty done by unqualified or unskilled surgeons can lead to many dangerous complications.

Certain things you need to check before selecting your surgeon include:

All the qualifications of the surgeon.
The experience of the surgeon.
Various reviews from patients who have had their surgery performed by that surgeon.
Look at multiple photographs before and after the surgery of patients.

Even after selecting your surgeon, you should continue asking him/her your doubts. You must have excellent and open communication with your surgeon. Explain to him properly the exact shape and size of the nose that you desire.

You should have proper knowledge about all the following questions before you go for Rhinoplasty:

What does the procedure entail?
The various risks and complications that can occur during the surgery.
What can be the expected results?
What does the recovery process look like?

4. What are the benefits of Rhinoplasty?

Depending on the reason for Rhinoplasty, it can benefit the patient in multiple ways.

Change the size of the nose
Change the shape of the nostrils.

Enhance the balance and proportions of other facial features
Have a positive effect on your overall facial structure
Correct problems associated with a deviated septum
Improve breathing
Improved quality of sleep
Reduced sinus pressure
Improved confidence

5. Should be your expectations after Rhinoplasty?

Almost any kind of change you want is possible through Rhinoplasty but having realistic expectations is very important for the procedure’s success. The structure and shape of the nose have to be in congruence with the rest of the facial features. So copying your favorite celebrity’s nose might not be the best idea for you.

If you have suffered an accident, your nose might not have the exact shape as the original one. These are some of the realistic expectations that you need to keep in mind while opting for Rhinoplasty. Your surgeon will discuss these with you in great detail.

Any surgical procedure, minor or major, has some risks and complications. The various complications that may occur in Rhinoplasty include the following:

Bleeding during or after the procedure
Infection
Complications of anesthesia
Numbness or loss of sensation in and around your nose
Difficulty breathing through your nose
Persisting swelling
Persisting pain or discoloration
Visible scarring
Septal perforation
Possibility of an uneven nose which might require additional surgery, etc

6. How to speed up your Rhinoplasty Recovery Time?

Proper recovery after Rhinoplasty is crucial to get the desired results from it. Your surgeon will advise you on all the things you need to do to have a good and quick recovery. Apart from that, there are certain precautions you should take to speed up your rhinoplasty recovery time.

Keep your head at a level higher than your chest to reduce swelling.
Avoid strenuous activities like exercising or jogging for a few weeks after the surgery.
Do not put extra pressure on your nose by blowing it.
Bandages will be placed inside your nose for bleeding and discharge for about seven days. Avoid taking a shower during this time. Take a bath instead.
Avoid smiling and laughing for a few weeks after the surgery. Frequent muscle movements can put extra pressure on the surgical site.
Eat a diet rich in fiber-containing fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation. Constipation can also put stress on the surgical site.
Avoid wearing pullovers. Wear buttoned shirts instead.
Brush your teeth very gently to avoid movement of the upper lip.
Do not wear specs or sunglasses for a few weeks to avoid putting pressure on the nose. You can tape the specs to your forehead or ears to prevent them from resting on your nose.

7. When do you need a revision of Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty or secondary Rhinoplasty is done in the case of complications or unsatisfactory results. Some of the reasons you might want to consider a revision of Rhinoplasty include:

Complications due to the initial nose job include difficulty breathing, sleeping and exercising problems, and more. These can be corrected through revision rhinoplasty.
To correct overall facial aesthetics. A corrected nose might not suit the rest of the facial features. Revision rhinoplasty can be done in such cases to correct the nasal structure.
A new injury or trauma to the nose.
Unsatisfactory results. People who are not satisfied with their nose appearance after the Rhinoplasty can opt for a revision of the procedure with more clarity of what they want.

8. How much does Rhinoplasty cost in India?

Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult surgeries that are performed on the face. It requires the handling of very delicate structures which, if harmed, can cause serious complications. Therefore, the cost of Rhinoplasty is generally a little more than the rest of facial surgeries.
