Rhinoplasty Surgery Procedure: Step-by-Step

Rhinoplasty is generally done as an outpatient procedure, that is, no need for overnight stay. This type of nose surgery can be performed usually under general or local anesthesia. General anesthesia makes you go into a deep sleep throughout the operation. On the other hand, you will be sedated and your nose will be numbed with local anesthesia. Anesthesia makes you relax and unable to feel the pain. During the surgery procedure, the surgeon makes cuts within the nostrils. In challenging cases, the surgeon may also make cuts across the base of the nose. Then, the surgeon reshapes the inner bone and cartilage to gain an attractive and charming look.

Recovery after rhinoplasty Surgery

Following rhinoplasty surgery, most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort which can be easily managed with medications. At least one week after rhinoplasty surgery, splints and gauze packing should be used to protect the nasal bones and cartilage to support nose as it begins to heal. Besides, patients should avoid strenuous activity like jogging or swimming for 2-3 weeks and avoid wearing glasses for 4-5 weeks after rhinoplasty surgery. Importantly, the initial recovery period can be somewhat awkward at work as well as in social settings on account of potential bruising under the eyes and the use of a splint.
