Also people with breathing problems, due to blockage of air by tissue or cartilage, prefer to undergo a nose job.
Types of nose job surgery
Generally speaking nose job is divided to two main groups, primary and secondary nose job. Here is a brief summary on each.
Primary nose job (rhinoplasty), also referred to as Nose Reshaping Surgery. Primary rhinoplasty implies that it is the first time that the patient undergoes a nose job. The purpose of the primary rhinoplasty can be both:
• Correcting the nose shape, repairing crooked or asymmetrical nasal structure, reshaping flared or pinched nostrils, or too small or too large noses in proportion to the face; and
• Treating breathing problems caused by cartilage or tissue.
The whole procedure takes between 1 to 2 hours, and is done under general anesthesia.
Secondary Rhinoplasty, also known as Revision Rhinoplasty. Secondary or Revision Rhinoplasty aims to repair the results of previously done rhinoplasty(s). It is highly recommended to wait at least one year before the secondary rhinoplasty, since it at least takes a year for scar tissue to soften, and the swelling to subside.
During the process if necessary cartilage maybe added or removed to recreate symmetry.
Cartilage strength, bone strength, and skin will be examined before the revision surgery, and as grafting is almost always needed, the available amount of cartilage will also be assessed by the surgeon.
Using a 3-D imaging program, the surgeon shows you how your nose may probably look like after the surgery.
The whole procedure can take up to 4 hours, and is done under general anesthesia.
The Surgery
The two main techniques for a nose surgery include the Open Approach, and the Closed Approach.
Both procedures are done under general anesthesia, and you may need to stay at the hospital overnight.
In the open approach, the surgeon makes incisions within the nostrils, and then separates the skin of the nose from its supporting framework of bone and cartilage, so that he will be able to see the entire structure of the nose. The open approach is mainly used in secondary or revision Rhinoplasty.
In the closed approach, the surgeon makes incisions across the columella that is the vertical tissue separating the nostrils, and reshapes the nose to the desired shape. Among the advantages of the closed approach is that there will be no visible external scars after the surgery.
