Here&#8217;s an overview:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Types of Rhinoplasty<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Cosmetic Rhinoplasty: Improving the appearance of the nose by changing its shape, size or proportion. It can solve problems like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A hump or bump on the nasal bridge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Asymmetry or deviation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A bulbous or drooping nasal tip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disproportionate size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Functional Rhinoplasty: Focuses on improving nasal function, to address frequent breathing problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deviated nasal septum (septoplasty may be combined).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trauma or injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Congenital abnormalities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Revision Rhinoplasty: Corrects or enhances the results of previous rhinoplasty that did not meet the patient&#8217;s expectations or caused complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Procedure Overview<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Techniques: 1) Open Rhinoplasty: An incision is made across the columella (the piece of tissue between the nostrils), allowing greater visibility and precision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Closed Rhinoplasty: All incisions are made intranasally, leaving no visible scars but providing limited access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Anesthesia: It is usually done under anesthesia with general anesthesia or local anesthesia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duration: 1\u20133 hours, depending on complexity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovery<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Initial Recovery: Swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes is common for 1-2 weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Splint Removal: A nasal splint is usually removed after 7\u201310 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full Recovery: It can take several months to a year for the swelling to completely subside, revealing the final results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Risks and Complications<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Infection, bleeding, or scarring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty breathing through the nose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unsatisfactory aesthetic results requiring corrective surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Candidates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Physically healthy. individuals with realistic expectations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adults whose nasal growth is complete (usually after 16\u201318 years of age).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are considering rhinoplasty, it is important to consult with a board-certified plastic or otolaryngology surgeon to discuss goals, assess the nasal structure, and review the risks and benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a &#8220;nose job,&#8221; is a surgical procedure designed to change the shape, size, or structure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fixocare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fixocare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fixocare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fixocare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fixocare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1924"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fixocare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1925,"href":"https:\/\/fixocare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924\/revisions\/1925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fixocare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fixocare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fixocare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
