How safe is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries undertaken by men and women worldwide. It is generally known as the procedure of reshaping the nose to improve its appearance or to correct and improve breathing issues that you may have with your nose, nasal passage or sinuses.

Just like any other surgical procedure, rhinoplasty has its own inherent risks and dangers. However, modern surgical techniques, combined with the skill and expertise of the best surgeons, you can rest assured that rhinoplasty or getting a nose job is safe since the risks are minimised. According to an expert surgeon in rhinoplasty in Sydney, the keys to a successful and totally safe procedure are your health and choosing the best rhinoplasty surgeon for the job.

Common rhinoplasty procedure goals include the following:

• Remove a prominent bump/hump on the nose
• Narrow the base of the nose so it is not as wide/broad
• Reduce/reshape the nasal tip
• Reduce the elevation of the nasal tip
• Narrow nostril width
• Increase the size of the nose

Keep in mind that as long as you are in good health and have been honest with your medical history upon your consultation with the surgeon, rhinoplasty is safe. After the surgery, make sure to refrain from the strenuous activity including heavy lifting and sport, particularly contact sports to reduce the risk of complications. Aside from that, don't hesitate to ask your surgeon if you are feeling experiencing any feeling of discomfort or pain.

Is rhinoplasty covered by insurance?

Insurance may cover the rhinoplasty surery. It depends on the situation and type of insurnace.

• What kind of insurance? If it is basic health insurance, it is generally an exclusion under most policies, as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. The reason why cosmetic procedures are not covered might be because it less of an uncertain event and more of a choice. 
• What necessitated the rhinoplasty? If the reason you are undergoing the procedure was unforeseen and not merely for cosmetic purposes, it may even be covered under your health or personal accident policy.

What are the types of rhinoplasty?

Different techniques can be applied in nose aesthetics. These techniques include surgical and non-surgical techniques. Surgical techniques are divided between open and closed techniques. The methods, tools, devices and shaping forms used in closed technique continue to be divided among themselves. Criteria such as nasal esthetics without breaking, 3D imaging techniques, minimal correction principles make differences in rhinoplasty.

What is the difference between open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty?

In a nasal aesthetic with open technique, a small incision is made in my arm, which is a small skin column that separates the two nostrils from each other. This incision allows the skin of the nose to be lifted up from the tip of the nose. This is the only difference between the two techniques. In both open and closed rhinoplasty, multiple incisions can be made inside the nose, but in the open technique there is another extra incision in the base of the nose. Once the healing is complete, the scar usually becomes invisible to the eye.

What are the advantages of closed technique?

Closed rhinoplasty nose aesthetics is one of the most preferred surgical technicians today. Small incisions in both nostrils open the nose to eliminate problems. With closed technique, there is no need to open the soft tissues in the nose skin and nose. This results in less damage to the skin and soft tissue. The healing process of the nose is accelerated. There is no scarring on the tip of the nose.

How can rhinoplasty be performed with closed or open technique?

Both techniques are performed under general or local anesthesia with an average of 1.5 hours of operation. The type of anesthesia to be used depends on the extent of the intervention, the general health status of the patient, and the choice of the patient and the surgeon. However, general anesthesia is preferred. After the surgery, silicone splints are used instead of tampon in the nose. On the nose, instead of gypsum, a small tape with a supporting feature is adhered. Silicone splints are removed 2 or 3 days after surgery. In closed technique there is no need to remove the stitches thrown into the nose as self-melting stitches.

The healing process is much shorter since minimal stitches are used in closed nose technique with closed technique. In addition, the risk of bruising and swelling is low as there is less soft tissue damage. The patient can resume normal life in about one week. Although the new form of the nose appears immediately in both techniques, it will continue to fully heal for 1 year.

How to apply nasal surgery without surgery?

By injecting dermal filler on and under the arch / lump / bump on the nose, the nose may appear more symmetrical and without a belt. In addition, by applying botox and filling to the tip of the nose, a thinner and symmetrical appearance can be obtained. Botox, the muscle pulling the nose down by injecting the nasal tip can be raised a little higher.

Botox and filler injections are prepared according to the needs of the patient. A topical drug with a calming effect is applied to the patient's nose and waited. Filling and botox are then applied to the areas marked on the nose with fine-tipped needles. The operation is painless and painless, which is performed in approximately 15 minutes. The patient should not wear glasses for only 5 days and must be protected from sunlight in the first week.

As the nose is not moved much, the results can last up to 12 to 18 months and can be even longer with repetitive treatments. The material used is not harmful to the body and can be excreted naturally. Thanks to this feature is a safe procedure. Redness and tenderness may develop spontaneously to the skin's sensitivity within a few days.
