Youth and the rhinoplasty
A great number of young patients request rhinoplasty due to nose insecurities. The procedure can only be considered if the patient is older than 18 years. The patient has to be mature enough to take conscious of the post-surgical changes.Consequently, during the preliminary consultation, the surgeon has to make sure that the patient is fully aware of the consequences brought by the procedure as well as their thought-through decision to undergo it.
The surgeon may also refuse to perform the procedure in certain cases and propose therapy sessions to the patient.
Before Rhinoplasty
During the preliminary consultation, the surgeon will discuss the procedure with the patient and get to know their expectations and motivations.The patient will need to take conscious of the significant post-surgical changes.
During Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and is estimated to last from one hour and a half to three hours.Incisions are made in the closed style, thus scars are concealed after the procedure. Incisions in the external nose can be considered in certain cases.
Surgical acts differ depending on the patient’s desired outcome:
To reduce the size of the nose:
Cartilage and/or bone will be removed to lessen the size of the nose.
To increase the size of the nose:
two solutions can be considered:
- Cartilage graft
- The placement of silicone implants
The splint will help the nose retain its new shape while it heals.
Following the procedure
The patient might be in pain after the procedure, and so the doctor will prescribe medication to alleviate the pain.The splint and the stitches are removed after 10 days. Swelling and bruising are expected, but both will wear out after a few weeks.
After the procedure, the patient may feel a breathing difficulty for a few weeks. Nasal cleaning is necessary to prevent the formation of crusts.
The patient is advised to take between 10-15 days off of work, depending on the professional activity. Physical activity is only resumed after 4 weeks.
Ethnic rhinoplasty
An ethnic nose job is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to change the appearance of the nose in a person of ethnic descent, such as an African American or Asian. Ethnic noses are flat and large, and ethnic skin is thick.The procedure will enhance the appearance of the patient’s nose by altering its size and/or shape. Although appearance will be improved, the patient’s ethnic characteristics will still be respected and preserved.
Whether the patient requests an “occidentalisation” of their nose or a correction of certain imperfections, the former is feasible to a certain extent.
However, it is important that the outcome of the procedure be natural-looking and adapted to the patient’s facial morphology.
How is ethnic rhinoplasty realized?
Different techniques can be used in an ethnic rhinoplasty, but all lead to the same natural-looking outcome.The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and is estimated to last between one hour and a half and two hours.
To reshape the nose, the surgeon may have recourse to cartilage graft, placement of implants, or nostril reduction depending on the patient’s objectives.
- Cartilage graft: this solution serves to remodel the tip of the nose and enhance the height of the nose bridge.
- The placement of silicone implants: this solution uses silicone implants to correct low nasal height. The technique is mostly considered for Asian patients.
- Nostril reduction: It is a procedure that can narrow the width of the nostril base, decrease the amount of nostril flaring or decrease the overall size of the nostrils. The procedure involves the removal of a wedge of tissue from the base of the nose to refine it.
