What Preparation Is Required For Rhinoplasty?

You have to visit the doctor and discuss if you can have rhinoplasty or not. You should tell the surgeon why you want this surgery.

The doctor will take your medical history and will ask you if you are taking any prescription medications. He may ask you to stop taking a few medications that are recommended before any surgical procedure.

He will do a physical examination of your nose to see what changes can be done to your nose. He may ask you to get a few blood and other lab tests.

The doctor may also take photographs of your nose from different angles to assess the long-term benefits of surgery.

What Is The Procedure Of Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can be performed in a hospital or the outpatient department. The doctor will give anaesthesia, either local or general. It depends on the type of surgery you will need.

The surgeon has to make several cuts inside and between the nose to separate the skin from bone and cartilage. If additional cartilage is needed to reshape your nose the surgeon may remove it from deep inside your nose or from your ear. In some, a bone graft is also needed to add additional bone to the nose. The surgery generally takes one or two hours. In a complex case, it may take more time.
