Rhinoplasty can be performed on people with a history of keloid scarring, but it’s important to choose a surgeon who has experience and expertise in performing rhinoplasty on patients with this condition. Keloid scarring can occur when the body overproduces collagen, which can lead to raised, thick scars that extend beyond the original wound or incision site. The nose is a complex structure, and the risk of keloid scarring is higher in people with darker skin tones, and in people who have a history of keloid scarring. It’s important to take preventative measures, such as cortisone injections, pressure dressings, and silicone sheeting, to minimise the risk of keloid scarring after surgery. Additionally, the surgeon should also be familiar with the latest techniques and technologies that can help minimise the risk of keloid scarring, such as laser therapy and cryotherapy. It’s essential to have a consultation with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon that has performed rhinoplasty on patients with similar characteristics.

Rhinoplasty can be performed on older adults, but it’s important to keep in mind that the recovery time may be longer, and the skin may not heal as quickly or as well as in younger patients. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elasticity, which can make it more difficult for the skin to bounce back after surgery. Additionally, older adults may have other health conditions that need to be taken into account before undergoing surgery. However, rhinoplasty can be still a good option for older adults who are in good health and have realistic expectations for the final outcome. It’s also important for older adults to have a realistic understanding of the procedure and its potential risks and benefits. It is essential for older adults to have a consultation with an experienced surgeon, who will evaluate your health and goals to determine if rhinoplasty is a suitable option for you.

Rhinoplasty can be used to reshape and refine an ethnic nose, and the specific changes will depend on the individual’s goals and the surgeon’s expertise. An ethnic nose may have distinct characteristics such as a wider nostrils, a more prominent nasal hump, or a flatter nasal bridge. An experienced and well-trained surgeon should be able to preserve or enhance the patient’s ethnic characteristics while achieving a more balanced and natural-looking nose. The surgeon should take into account the patient’s ethnicity, facial structure and overall appearance to achieve a result that looks natural, and enhances the patient’s overall appearance. It’s essential to choose a surgeon who has experience in performing rhinoplasty on patients with similar ethnic backgrounds, as they will be familiar with the unique challenges and considerations that come with ethnic rhinoplasty.

Yes, rhinoplasty can be combined with other smaller facial procedures such as buccal fat removal, eyelid surgery, chin augmentation or jawline and neck liposuction. This is known as “facial plastic surgery” or “facial rejuvenation” and can help to achieve a more balanced and harmonious overall appearance. Combining these procedures can provide patients with a more comprehensive approach to their facial rejuvenation. For example, a simultaneous eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the periorbital region, while rhinoplasty can reshape and refine the nose, while a chin augmentation can improve the balance of the lower face. Combining these procedures also allows for a more efficient use of the recovery time, as well as a more cost-effective solution. However, it’s important to note that not all patients are good candidates for multiple procedures, and it’s essential to have a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine the best approach for you.

Yes, there are non-surgical options for nose reshaping, such as injectable fillers. These options are generally considered less invasive than surgery, and can be used to add volume or reshape certain areas of the nose. Injectable fillers such as hyaluronic acid can be used to add volume to the nasal bridge, to smooth out small bumps or depressions, or to change the shape of the tip. However, it’s important to note that the results of non-surgical nose reshaping are not as long-lasting as surgical options. The effects of injectable fillers typically last for about 6 to 12 months, after which the procedure must be repeated to maintain the desired results. Additionally, non-surgical options are not capable of addressing structural issues such as deviated septum. It’s important to discuss your options with an experienced injector and make an informed decision that is best for you.

Rhinoplasty can correct structural problems with the nose that are causing breathing difficulties, such as a deviated septum. A deviated septum occurs when the thin wall of cartilage and bone that separates the nostrils is off-centre, which can cause difficulty breathing. Rhinoplasty can help to reposition the septum, improving airflow through the nose. Additionally, some rhinoplasty procedures can also improve airflow through the nose by reducing the size of the nostrils, or by reshaping the nasal tip and/or bridge. It’s important to note that not all breathing problems can be corrected with rhinoplasty, and some patients may require additional procedures, such as septoplasty or sinus surgery, to address their breathing issues. Therefore, it’s important to have a thorough evaluation with an experienced surgeon who specialises in both cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty to determine if the procedure is appropriate for you.

Rhinoplasty can be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia with sedation involves numbing the area with a local anaesthetic and administering a sedative to help the patient relax and minimise discomfort during the procedure. This option allows the patient to remain awake during the surgery, but they will not be able to feel any pain or discomfort. The choice of anaesthesia will depend on the patient’s preferences, the complexity of the procedure, and the surgeon’s recommendations. Some surgeons may prefer general anaesthesia for more complex procedures, while others may offer the option of local anaesthesia with sedation as an alternative. It’s important to discuss your options with your surgeon and make an informed decision that is best for you.

It can be performed more than once, but it is not recommended unless it is absolutely necessary. A revision rhinoplasty may be necessary if the patient is not satisfied with the results of the first procedure, or if complications occur. However, multiple surgeries on the nose can be risky, and it’s important to weigh the benefits and risks with a qualified surgeon.

Revision rhinoplasty is more complex than the primary one and it may require more skill, experience, and time to achieve the desired results. The recovery period may also be longer and more uncomfortable.

It’s important to have realistic expectations when considering revision rhinoplasty, and to understand that the final result may not be perfect. The revision rhinoplasty is often a more difficult procedure than the original one and the outcome may not be as predictable. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon who has a good understanding of the patient’s expectations and can provide the best possible results.

Rhinoplasty can be used to correct a crooked nose by repositioning the bones and cartilage to improve the alignment of the nose. A crooked nose can be caused by a variety of factors such as an injury, congenital condition or previous surgery.

During the procedure, the plastic surgeon will make small incisions inside the nose to access the underlying bone and cartilage. The surgeon will then reshape the bones and cartilage to straighten the nose, and then reposition the nose to improve the overall symmetry. The incisions will then be closed and the nose will be bandaged to support the new shape during healing. Recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the procedure, but in general, patients can expect some swelling and bruising for the first few weeks after the surgery. It is important to consult a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to discuss if rhinoplasty is the right option for your crooked nose.

Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job,” is considered a major surgery. It is an invasive procedure that requires anaesthesia and can involve a significant recovery period. The procedure involves reshaping the bones and cartilage of the nose in order to change its shape or size, or to correct structural abnormalities. The procedure is typically performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with specialised training in facial surgery.

It is important to have realistic expectations and understand the risks and recovery time before deciding to undergo rhinoplasty. It is also important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon to minimise the risk of complications and to ensure the best possible outcome. Overall, rhinoplasty is a major surgical procedure that should be taken seriously and good communication with the surgeon before the surgery is paramount.
