Understanding Houston Rhinoplasty And What The Treatment Involves

By Debra Bennett


There are a number of people who are not happy with the size and shape of their noses. The nose is central when it comes to central balance of the face and there are many people who opt for the surgical procedure for reshaping the nose for them to find a harmonious alignment of features. For the residents of Houston rhinoplasty procedure is a complicated one and the patient should know what it involves.

While the treatment is very complicated, there are some limitation as to the extent to which alterations can be made. The result of treatment depends on age of a patient, size of the nose and skin condition. There should be very clear communication between a patient and the surgeon before the procedure. The patient should have realistic expectations from the treatment. That is because the treatment might not solve social and emotional problems.

There are various reasons for one to consider the treatment. Perhaps the main reason why people consider the procedure is for cosmetic purposes. One could need to change tip of their nose that is too wide, the nose might be lacking definition or it could be unpleasantly round. Other than cosmetic reasons, you can go for the treatment for medical reasons. That might be because the nose is broken or is too bent forward. Rhinoplasty is also ideal for people with breathing problems.

The procedure can be done by making incisions in the nostrils. That is the case with closed rhinoplasty. The other option is open rhinoplasty in which a small incision will be made on the nose before the nose gets elevated. The procedure that is used will depend on nose area which is supposed to be treated. The surgery can be covered by the NHS, which is only the case when it is done as reconstructive surgery to improve breathing in a patient.

The surgical procedure generally lasts 2 hours. The exact time will depend on procedure that is used. After the procedure is completed, you will be required to stay in hospital for a day or two. Also, you will need to stay off work for a fortnight before you can start with light duties. If there is any exercising to be done, it needs to be light.

Most closed rhinoplasty operations will take two weeks or so to start healing. You should not expect any scarring but in case the nose was broken as part of surgery, there will be some noticeable bruising around eyes for 10 days or so. Common effects experienced after surgery are memory lapses, slow reaction time and impaired judgment. It will be advisable to have someone stay with you for a few days after surgery.

As regards the results, even slight changes to the structure of the nose can make a huge difference on the way the way the nose looks. In some cases however, the slight changes might not be enough and the surgeon might decide to do a second procedure to improve on the changes.

Just as with other surgical procedures, the procedure has possible risks. The risks include adverse reaction to the used amnesia, bleeding and infections. A person might also experience permanent numbness on the area around the nose, or experience difficulty breathing.
