Rhinoplasty in Kolkata

Scientifically known as rhinoplasty, a nose job is a plastic surgery procedure used for correcting our noses. It is also helpful in reconstructing the nose.

What are the types of Rhinoplasty?

Though there are two primary types of rhinoplasty ‘open’ and ‘closed’, there are other types also:

  • Open Rhinoplasty

    Open Rhinoplasty is performed from outside the nose by making a small incision on the fleshy column between the nose (columella). The incisions help the surgeon to get a better view of the nose as well as the nose tip. It leads to the excellent shape of the nose.
  • Closed Rhinoplasty

    Closed Rhinoplasty is performed using incisions that are exclusively made within the inside of the nose. Once the bones and cartilage are exposed, they can be removed, reshaped, and rearranged to receive the new shape.
  • Secondary Rhinoplasty

    It is also called revision rhinoplasty which is performed to cure the problems that persist or develop after the nose surgery. Here, there may exist minor as well as complex problems making the surgery difficult.
  • Filler Rhinoplasty

    This is a non-surgical procedure involving the use of injectable fillers. Though this procedure is less painful, it does not provide permanent results.

How is the surgery performed?

Rhinoplasty in Kolkata does not require the patient to stay overnight. It takes place in a session of a few hours after which the patient is free to go home.

Patients are given general or local anaesthesia to make them fall asleep to safeguard them from any discomfort.

Patients are sedated to numb the area around the nose to make it a painless procedure.

The surgeon makes cuts on or within the nose to remove, shift or reshape bones and cartilage to give a pleasing appearance.

In complex situations, the surgeon may also make incisions at the base of the nose for better performance of the surgery.

The recovery process post rhinoplasty surgery:

The recovery process takes up to two weeks. In the beginning, patients have to wear a nasal splint for protection.

We may also notice some swelling and bruising near the eyes which may decrease after two to three days.

The nose region also gets swelled up which may be felt and recognized by the patient and the doctor.

But otherwise, it cannot be recognized so easily. There may also be a scar mark around the nose.

Those scar marks are usually very small and fade off with time. We get to see the complete shape of our nose within 6 months after the surgery has been conducted.

Strenuous activities are not to be performed for about a month so that it does not affect the operated region.

After a month of rest and care, one is fit to go back to their previous lifestyle. There are cases where no trace of surgery can be seen on a patient's face. Dr V. S. Rathore performs Rhinoplasty in Kolkata. Visit Dr V. S. Rathore's website for more information.
