Plastic surgery of the tip of the nose

The operation is considered quite complicated, therefore it requires a hospital stay for 1-2 days, which affects the formation of the cost of the service. Plastic surgery of the nose tip involves working with cartilage tissue, which requires jewelry precision from the surgeon. The patient is waiting for:

• Initial consultation.
• Delivery of tests, CT of the nose.
• Consultation with an anesthesiologist.
• Surgery planning: the surgeon will explain which methods will allow you to solve your aesthetic or reconstructive task.
• The operation itself - duration up to 3 hours.
• Hospital observation.
• Rehabilitation period.

If there are no medical indications, rhinoplasty is performed at the age of 18 years. By this time, the active growth of the body stops, therefore, the nose will not undergo strong changes. Since girls develop faster, nose surgery is possible for them at the age of 14-15, provided that the teenager has completely stopped in growth.

After 40 years, the regeneration processes in the tissues slow down, the production of collagen for the cartilage decreases. Because of this, the cartilage will take longer to heal.

The lower lateral cartilage is located in the lower part of the nostrils - it is he who is responsible for the shape of the tip of the nose. Congenital features, deformity because of trauma, unsuccessful rhinoplasty - all this leads to the patient’s dissatisfaction with his appearance.

The operation is shown:

• to improve the aesthetics of the appearance of the nose;
• when eliminating deformation;
• to improve breathing.

After passing the tests and receiving the results of a CT scan of the nose, the surgeon determines which method of operating will be most effective. The anesthesiologist recommends the type of anesthesia. The tip of the nose can also be corrected under local anesthesia in combination with sedation, but this method has its drawbacks because of the length of the operation.

A few days before the operation, the patient excludes nicotine and alcohol, does not visit beaches and solariums.

• On the day of surgery, anesthesia is performed on an empty stomach.
• The surgeon provides access to the cartilage of the tip of the nose closed (through the nostrils) or open (the skin is cut between the nostrils at the base of the nose). Hybrid technology can be used.
• Cartilage is displaced, excess tissue is removed, or a graft is inserted.
• Absorbable sutures are applied to the skin or mucous membranes.
• The nasal passages are tamponed with large gauze tampons.
• A plaster cast fixation bandage is applied.

Rhinoplasty at the tip of the nose is a rather traumatic operation, so the patient is sent to the ward to recover from anesthesia and follow-up.

Follow all the recommendations of the surgeon. On average, rehabilitation lasts 20-25 days. After 10 days, the plaster cast is removed.

• Don't touch your nose. There should be no load on this area, including blowing your nose.
• Sleep on a high pillow on your back.
• No physical activity.
• Refuse clothes that need to be worn over the head, glasses, and other manipulations that can hurt your nose.
• Refuse to visit the sauna, bath, solarium, pool, and other procedures where overheating is possible or there is a risk of infection with a fungus or infection.

The final appearance of the cartilage will acquire in six months when internal hematomas and edema disappear. If the patient thinks that the tip is overly raised, you need to understand that over time, the cartilage will drop a little and everything will fall into place.
