While
there is no upper age limit for having rhinoplasty, patients may be
advised to wait until they are 14 or 15 (when the nose is fully developed)
before undergoing rhinoplasty.
Sometimes breathing problems related to the internal nasal structures can
be corrected at the same time as nose reshaping. It is important to have a
clear idea of how you would like your nose to look as well as know there
are some limitations to cosmetic nasal surgery.
Dr. Gendler may ask whether you have difficulty breathing through your
nose, suffer from allergies or use nasal spray excessively.
In evaluating you for rhinoplasty, Dr. Gendler will examine your nose both
internally and externally. Skin quality as well as the size and shape of
your nose must be carefully studied. Sometimes, chin augmentation may
be suggested so that a more pleasing facial balance can be achieved.
With rhinoplasty, work is done on the cartilage and bone that form the
structure of your nose. Sometimes, certain bones may need to be altered
in order to make your nose look narrower and straighter. If your nose
needs to be augmented, this can be accomplished using cartilage from
your nose or cartilage from another part of the body. The skin and soft
tissues will re-position themselves over the new form of your nose.
In most cases, the incisions will be placed inside your nose so they will
not be visible. If the base of the nose is narrowed or the nostrils reduced,
small pieces of skin below the nostrils will be removed. External incisions
are well hidden in the crease where the nose and cheek join.
In an open rhinoplasty, a short incision is made across the columella that
separates the nostrils.
Skin numbness after rhinoplasty may occur but is usually temporary.
Bruising should be gone after a week and you can use concealing makeup
if you wish. Swelling, however, can last a number of weeks or months
though residual swelling usually affects just the nasal tip.
