– Rhinoplasty can be performed on people with a previous nose injury, but it’s important for the patient to inform the surgeon about their medical history before the surgery. A previous nose injury can affect the nasal anatomy and function, which can impact the outcome of the surgery.

– It is important for the patient to have fully healed from the previous injury before undergoing rhinoplasty. If the patient has active injury, the surgeon may recommend postponing the procedure. This is to avoid complications such as infections, bleeding or poor healing after surgery.

– A nose injury can cause a deviation of the nose from its normal position, which can affect the breathing and aesthetic appearance. The surgeon will evaluate the extent of the injury, the type of injury and the time since the injury happened before deciding if the patient is a good candidate for surgery.

– The surgeon will also take into account the patient’s specific injury when planning the surgery and may use special techniques to minimize the risk of complications. Postoperative care and follow-up will also be tailored to the patient’s specific needs.

Rhinoplasty can be performed on people with a history of allergies or sinus problems, but it’s important for the patient to inform the surgeon about their medical history before the surgery. Allergies and sinus problems can affect the nasal anatomy and function, which can impact the outcome of the surgery.

It is important for the patient to be in good health and have well-controlled allergies or sinus problems before undergoing rhinoplasty. If the patient has active sinus infections or allergies at the time of the surgery, the surgeon may recommend postponing the procedure. This is to avoid complications such as infections, bleeding or poor healing after surgery.

The surgeon will also take into account the patient’s specific allergies or sinus problems when planning the surgery and may use special techniques to minimise the risk of complications. Postoperative care and follow-up will also be tailored to the patient’s specific needs.

Yes, rhinoplasty can correct a dorsal hump, which is a bump on the bridge of the nose. This is a common concern for many people seeking rhinoplasty. The procedure to remove a dorsal hump involves reshaping the bone and cartilage on the bridge of the nose to create a smoother, more symmetrical appearance. The specific technique used to remove the dorsal hump will depend on the individual’s unique nasal anatomy and the surgeon’s preference. In some cases, the surgeon may use osteotomy, a technique that involves breaking the nose bones to reshape them. In other cases, the surgeon may use rasping, a technique that involves filing down the hump.

The recovery time for rhinoplasty can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. Typically, most patients can return to work or school within 7 to 10 days after the surgery, and can resume normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks.

However, it’s important to follow your surgeon’s specific instructions regarding when it’s safe to return to your normal activities. They may advise you to avoid strenuous activities, sports, and any activities that could cause the nose to be bumped or hit for a certain period of time.

During the first few days after the surgery, the nose will be swollen and you will experience some pain and discomfort. The swelling and bruising will gradually subside over the next several weeks, and the final shape of the nose will be visible in about 3 to 6 months.

It’s essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding post-operative care to ensure the best possible outcome. They will advise you on when it’s safe to return to your normal activities and provide you with any additional information to ensure a smooth recovery.

After a rhinoplasty procedure, it’s generally recommended to avoid any activities or things that could put pressure on the nose or cause injury to the nose for at least the first few weeks following the surgery. This includes avoiding strenuous activities, sports, and any activities that could cause the nose to be bumped or hit.

Wearing contact lenses after a rhinoplasty is generally safe, but it’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding when it’s safe to start wearing them again. They may advise you to wait for a certain period of time before wearing them, usually a few weeks, so the nose can heal properly.

It’s important to note that if you have dry eyes or other eye conditions that make it difficult to wear contact lenses, it may be more challenging to wear them after a rhinoplasty. If you experience discomfort or any other issues with your contact lenses, it’s essential to contact your surgeon and your eye doctor to have them checked.

It’s essential to consult with your plastic surgeon regarding the timing of when you can wear contact lenses after rhinoplasty. They can advise you on the best time to do it and to make sure it won’t compromise the results of the surgery.

After a rhinoplasty procedure, it’s generally recommended to avoid any activities or things that could put pressure on the nose or cause injury to the nose for at least the first few weeks following the surgery. This includes avoiding strenuous activities, sports, and any activities that could cause the nose to be bumped or hit.

Having a nose piercing done after a rhinoplasty can cause complications such as bleeding, infection, and damage to the newly reshaped nose. It’s important to wait at least 6-12 months after the surgery before getting the nose pierced. This is to allow the nose to fully heal and to prevent any accidental trauma to the nose.

It’s also important to note that if you have the piercing done before the nose has fully healed, it may affect the final results of your rhinoplasty. If you had a septal surgery, the piercing may cause damage to the cartilage of the septum, and if the piercing is done too early, the healing process can be altered leading to poor final results.

It’s essential to consult with your plastic surgeon regarding the timing of getting a nose piercing after rhinoplasty. They can advise you on the best time to do it and to make sure it won’t compromise the results of the surgery.

A rhinoplasty procedure, the patient can work with their surgeon to achieve a desired nose shape that is in harmony with the rest of their face, and that meets their individual needs and goals. The shape of the nose can be changed in several ways, such as:

Reducing or increasing the size of the nose

Changing the shape of the tip of the nose

Narrowing the width of the nostrils

Straightening a crooked nose

Reshaping the bridge of the nose

Correcting a deviated septum to improve breathing

However, it’s important to have realistic expectations and to understand that the surgeon’s expertise and skill will play a critical role in determining the final outcome of the surgery. The surgeon will also consider the patient’s facial structure, skin thickness, and other factors to determine the best possible nose shape for the individual.

During the consultation, the patient can bring pictures of the desired nose shape, and the surgeon will explain what is possible, what is not possible, and what are the risks and benefits of the chosen procedure. It’s essential for the patient to have open and honest communication with the surgeon to ensure that their goals and expectations are well understood, and that the best possible outcome is achieved.

Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty, can be more complex and technically demanding than primary (initial) rhinoplasty. The initial surgery may have left behind scar tissue or other structural changes that can make the revision surgery more challenging. Additionally, the patient’s goals and expectations for the revision surgery may be more specific and difficult to achieve.

During revision rhinoplasty, the surgeon may need to address issues such as asymmetry, over- or under-correction of the nose shape, breathing problems, and dissatisfaction with the appearance of the nose. These issues may require more extensive surgical techniques and a greater level of precision and skill to correct.

For these reasons, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who has a significant experience and a high success rate in performing revision rhinoplasty. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action for your specific case. Additionally, it’s important to have realistic expectations for the outcome of revision rhinoplasty and to understand that the results may not be as predictable or dramatic as those of primary rhinoplasty.

The recovery time for rhinoplasty can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. Typically, most patients can return to work within 10 to 14 days after the surgery, and can resume normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks.

There are very few alternatives to traditional surgical rhinoplasty, also known as “nose job.” One option is non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as “liquid nose job” or “non-surgical nose job”, which uses injectable fillers such as hyaluronic acid (temporary) or calcium hydroxyapatite (permanent) to reshape the nose. This procedure is less invasive than traditional rhinoplasty, and typically requires no downtime or recovery. However, non-surgical rhinoplasty is not suitable for everyone, and the results are temporary, typically lasting 6-12 months. Additionally, there are non-invasive options such as makeup and special adhesive bandages that can be used to create the illusion of a different nose shape temporarily, mainly used in theatre or cinema.
It’s important to have a consultation with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to discuss your expectations and the possibilities. They will be able to advise you on the best option for your specific case.
