Rhinoplasty is a very popular procedure among males. The procedure itself is known for correcting and reconstructing the form of the nose and aesthetically enhancing it so as to achieve aesthetic facial harmony among all facial characteristics.
Apart from the cosmetic appearance, this procedure also restores the functions of the nose deriving from deviation of the nasal septum or aims at turbinate reduction. As a general rule, ideal candidates for Rhinoplasty surgery are over 18 years old, right after the completion of their nasal and mid-face growth.
As a general rule, no skin incisions are made outside the nose but only inside the nose, thus leaving no visible scar. This is why Rhinoplasty surgery is also referred to as closed Rhinoplasty. The appropriate surgical techniques vary and depend upon the shape and size of the nose. Addition or removal of any bone or cartilage is made to further improve symmetry. In certain cases, when the plastic surgeon considers appropriate, you may have they option of the open Rhinoplasty technique, which is more likely to result in visible scarring.
There are no complications following Rhinoplasty. The appropriate pre-operative consultation will highlight any functional problems of the nose (e.g. nasal septum deviation or scoliosis) that need to be restored along with the aesthetic approach, in order to achieve the best possible results and improvements in your nasal breathing and sense of smell.
