Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the right candidate for rhinoplasty?
An individual is considered an ideal candidate for rhinoplasty surgery when he/she meets the following criteria:
- The individual’s facial growth is complete.
- The individual should be in good overall health.
- The individual should not have a habit of smoking or at least be willing to quit for as long as required.
- The individual understands the limitations of the procedure and has realistic expectations.
How long does rhinoplasty surgery usually take?
As rhinoplasty is a complex surgery, it can take around 1 to 3 hours. The exact duration of the procedure will vary depending on the extent of repair, reconstruction, and modification done in the nasal bone and cartilage.
What are the common medical reasons for undergoing rhinoplasty?
Some common medical reasons for rhinoplasty include correcting breathing difficulties and repairing nasal injuries.
What is the typical recovery time for rhinoplasty?
Generally, most patients recover within 3-6 weeks after rhinoplasty surgery, but the final results will take longer to become apparent. The patient can resume most activities by the third week and can also return to work but will likely need to take several precautions for optimal recovery.
Will rhinoplasty leave visible scars?
No, the incisions of rhinoplasty are usually made at the columella or inside the nostrils. Thus, the scars are either completely hidden inside the nose or within the natural contour lines of the nose. Initially, the patient may be able to see the surgery scars, but as they heal, the scars will fade away.
How long does the swelling last after rhinoplasty?
Swelling occurs when tissues experience trauma and can take several weeks to resolve completely. In the case of rhinoplasty, the swelling can persist for several weeks (likely 3-4 weeks), and most of it will subside within the first month. However, the patient may also experience residual swelling that may last for a year or so.
What is the ideal age to undergo rhinoplasty?
Doctors suggest that the right age for rhinoplasty is around 17 or 18 years old in females and 18 to 19 years old in males. Till this age, the facial growth is incomplete; hence, even if the surgery is performed, the outcome may not be as expected. Thus, patients are advised to wait until the specified age to get rhinoplasty surgery.
Can rhinoplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, rhinoplasty can be and is often combined with other facial procedures, such as chin augmentation or a facelift, depending on the patient's aesthetic goals. This is usually discussed with the surgeon to determine if getting multiple treatments is safe for the patient.
How long do the results of rhinoplasty last?
The results of rhinoplasty are usually long-lasting as the nasal bone and cartilage modifications cannot be reversed. However, this doesn't mean that the nose will become immune to the effects of aging or natural changes that occur in the nasal structure over time.
What type of anesthesia is used for rhinoplasty?
In most cases, general anesthesia is used for rhinoplasty to put the patient to sleep. However, if general anesthesia is not the best option, local anesthesia with sedation may be done.
When can I return to work after rhinoplasty?
Most patients can return to work within 2-3 weeks after surgery, but only if their work doesn't involve strenuous physical activities. If it does, the doctor may recommend waiting longer to resume work as such activities can put a strain on the nose and may alter its shape during the healing period, which will compromise the outcome.
