Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that may be used by some people for the purpose of improving the appearance of the nose or other health purposes. A plastic and reconstructive surgeon often reshapes the nose bone and internal cartilage to make it look better and more consistent with other facial details.

While some people may go to the clinic for plastic and reconstructive surgeons to improve and change the appearance of the nose, others need to perform such an operation for other reasons, such as:

• Repairing congenital deformity of the nose.
• Repairing a broken or injured nose.
• Improving breathing in the case of nasal canals blockage.

Rhinoplasty surgery includes the following three phases:

• Preparing for the surgery:

Patients are required to stay away from smoking for at least a week before rhinoplasty and continue thereafter to improve their chances of healing and recovery. In addition, patients should stop using any of the blood-thinning medications they take, such as aspirin, warfarin or ibuprofen, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs 10 days before the surgery, as it may increase the chances of bleeding.The plastic and reconstructive surgeon may take a set of images of the nose from several angles to compare with the results after the surgery.

The patient should refrain from eating and drinking about 6 hours before the surgery.

• During the surgery:

1. Anesthetize the patient (general or local anesthetic).
2. Make an incision inside the nostrils or the plastic surgeon may have to make the incision through the part that separates the nostrils.
3. Remove the skin covering the bone and cartilage to begin reshaping.
4. Depending on the case, the plastic surgeon may have to remove part of the cartilage and bone in the nose to reduce its size, or in other cases, the surgeon may add cartilage for the nose that are often taken from the ear.
5. Restoration of the nasal septum to be straightened in case of incision and reduce any projections inside the nostrils to avoid narrowing of breathing.
6. Return the skin to its place and close the incisions.
7. Place a nasal splint to help heal internal wounds.

• After surgery :

The patient often feels pain after the anesthetic is gone, so he may take some painkillers after consulting the plastic surgeon. The nose remains covered with a splint for about a week. In the first days, the patient may notice a swelling around the eyes, upper lip, cheeks, and in the nose itself, which will disappear soon after the first week.

After a rhinoplasty, the patient is advised during the first week to take a complete rest, especially from doing some expressions that require the movement of the nose, such as smiling, talking or chewing food. Raising your head while lying down is best to avoid swelling and bleeding from your nose, also using saline nasal spray several times a day may help keep your nose clean from dust or other particles that may accumulate.

Of course, no other effort should be taken that may affect wounds in the nose, such as constipation that may cause stress on the body; this can be avoided by eating food that is rich in fiber or stool softeners.

Visiting the plastic and reconstructive surgeon during the first period is necessary to check on the wounds of the nose and the general shape after the rhinoplasty, also the patient can return to work or socialize with the family and friends as before the surgery in almost two weeks, but the final results that the patient may want to see will not be obvious until at least a year after the complete healing of the nasal tissue, so this type of cosmetic surgery requires patience and endurance to get the best results.

While rhinoplasty success rates are high, they may carry some complications and risks that the patient should be aware of, although rare, such as:

• Allergy to the anesthetic.
• Blockage of nasal canals.
• Bleeding.
• Permanent numbness in the upper teeth and face.
• A hole is created between the nostrils from the inside.
• Drainage of fluids from the nose for long periods.
• Severe dryness of the nose.
• The possibility of not getting the desired appearance of the nose.
• In very rare cases, damage to eyes and other adjacent parts may occur.
• Continuous pain.
• Inability to use the sense of smell efficiently.
• Nosebleeds.
• Swelling and discoloration of the skin.
