Best Rhinoplasty in Faridabad

Rhinoplasty called the nose job in colloquial terms is a surgery that reshapes the nose to enhance its appearance. The nose due to its central location plays a crucial role in facial aesthetics. In rhinoplasty surgery, the entire shape of the nose can be modified to make it look better and in harmony with the face. It also helps people with breathing problems due to obstructed nose by a deviated septum. It is a common cosmetic procedure both in men and women. Rhinoplasty is a technically demanding surgery undertaken only by expert cosmetic surgeon.

Reasons to opt for Rhinoplasty

People may feel unhappy about some feature of their nose because either its too big or small, bulbous at the tip or too sleek, there may be a hump or depression when viewed from the side, or the nose may be crooked or be flared when viewed from the front, the tip is pointing up or down not much to one’s liking. Sometimes all things may be in place but one may desire a strong and assertive nose. When airflow through the nose is not smooth and troubles also it needs to be addressed surgically.

The bones of the nose are the most common to be fractured during facial trauma. The external deformity caused by the fractured bones may not be visible during the time of injury due to swelling or bruising. Nasal trauma is deliberately neglected when associated with other major injuries leaving back deformities in the recovered patients. Burns, dog bites, and also human bites may deform the nose requiring reconstruction.

Types of Rhinoplasty surgery

Rhinoplasty surgery can be done by either of the following two techniques:

1. OPEN RHINOPLASTY is the preferred technique in most when major changes are required to be made in the nose. In open rhinoplasty, incisions are placed on the inside of the nose. The only visible part of the cut is about 2-3mm on the undersurface of the nose in the midline and the skin over the nose is completely raised. Open rhinoplasty exposes the entire skeletal framework of the nose and allows better assessment and access for modification of desired portions of the nose that need to be altered. After they are done the skin is redraped and stitched in place.

2. CLOSED RHINOPLASTY is the procedure of choice in a few cases. Access is limited in closed rhinoplasty as few incisions are made inside the nose, without the use of any external cuts. There is less tissue manipulation possible in closed rhinoplasty and hence the post-surgery recovery is relatively quick.

LIQUID RHINOPLASTY (Non-surgical Rhinoplasty)

In patients with minor deformities who are not willing for a major surgical procedure, some contour corrections can be brought about with the injection of FILLERS.

These are made of natural substance called Hyaluronic Acid. Hence, the treatment is very safe. The results of the injection are immediate. The only drawback is that the results are short-lasting and need to be repeated.
