Rhinoplasty – An Easy Way to Treat Nose Deformities

Rhinoplasty procedure may be considered

• to correct a broken nose
• to correct birth defects of the nose
• to clear nasal obstruction
• to alter the tip of the nose
• to correct bumps, indentations
• to correct nasal asymmetry and deviation

During the procedure, the incisions are made inside the nose or under the nasal septum. After the procedure, the nose is taped with steri-strips (slightly stretchy paper tape). These are covered with a molded plastic splint. You will need to keep these tapes and splint for seven days after the surgery. After this, these can be removed. In some cases, it may be necessary to re-tape the nose for some more days.

The ideal candidates for nose surgery are people who are looking for improvement in the way they look. Age may also be a consideration. The candidate should at be least in his/her mid-teens. For girls, this means 14 to 15 years, and for boys, a little older. At this age, the nasal bone has fully developed, and the shape of the nose is stabilized. Each person's nose is sculpted to their specifications and balanced to their facial proportions, so the end result is very individual and natural.
