What is the Importance of choosing a technique in rhinoplasty?

The Importance of choosing the technique lies in rhinoplasty, as it is considered one of the most complex facial plastic surgeries, because each nose has a different anatomy, which Is reflected through the different features and deformities of the nose. For example, when performing a mastoidectomy, sinus operation, or neck dissection, the anatomy can be predicted. This allows the surgeon to use a more consistent surgical approach to correct the underlying problem. However, when performing rhinoplasty, no two patients have the same anatomy. This requires the surgeon to adjust his technique based on the anatomical findings. The surgeon must choose a technique appropriate to the specific anatomy and proposed aesthetic and functional goals so when a single technique is used for all rhinoplasty procedures, the surgeon is unaware of the variance in anatomy that must dictate how nasal structures are managed.

What is open rhinoplasty?

The recovery period from the operation

In most cases, after the patient undergoes rhinoplasty, he needs between 4 to 7 days to recover and recover. However, in some cases, in open rhinoplasty for a medical purpose, they need a longer recovery period, and during this period, the patient’s nose is covered with bandages from the outside, In addition to the presence of a nose wick inside each nostril.

The doctor decides when to remove the sutures and bandages according to the case, but they are usually removed 4 to 6 days after the surgery.

Expected results after the operation

The simple changes that the surgeon makes, but they actually make a big difference for the patient in the shape of his nose, and that depends on the skill of the surgeon, but in some cases, simple changes may not be enough, and the patient may request to make more changes by performing the operation again to reach desired shape. In this case, the patient must wait at least a year for the follow-up surgery, because the nose may undergo changes during this time.
