What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is a surgical operation that aims to reshape or repair the nose. During the operation, Dr. Bafitis changes the bone, cartilage, and tissue in an effort to enhance the size, shape, or function of the nose. The intent is to improve facial harmony (cosmetic reasons) and, for some, breathing (functional reasons). Many patients decide to have rhinoplasty because they feel their nose detracts from their self-confidence or facial balance.
A deviated nose, a hump, or very wide openings may be corrected using rhinoplasty. It can also be done to repair injuries or correct breathing problems. This surgical procedure commonly involves incisions inside the nostrils or along natural creases, thus allowing for minimal visible scarring.

Rhinoplasty Techniques

At Bafitis Plastic Surgery, we perform various rhinoplasty techniques. They differ in their methods of incision, the extent of reshaping required, and the functional goals of the surgery:
Closed Rhinoplasty
This type of rhinoplasty involves performing all the incisions internally, inside the nostrils. This way, there is no trace of any scars afterward. This type of surgery will be ideal for those patients whose need for reshaping their nose is slight. For example, to remove a hump or narrow the nostrils. It allows faster recovery and leaves a minimum scar.
In open rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes a small incision across the columella, the strip of tissue between the nostrils, which allows him to see and work with better precision. This technique is suitable for patients needing more significant changes. These include correcting a deviated septum or reshaping a large nose. The open approach is more versatile but may result in a slightly longer recovery time.
Septoplasty represents a functional method that manages to correct the so-called deviated septum that usually impairs breathing. Dr. Bafitis performs a repositioning or removal of cartilage to open nasal passages. It may be performed by itself or in conjunction with aesthetic rhinoplasty.
Basically, the aim of tip plasty is the reshaping of the nasal tip, either performed closed or openly. This technique acts best for patients whose main interest and focus on nose surgical operations revolve around reshaping.
A revision rhinoplasty can be performed to rectify or enhance the outcomes of the initial rhinoplasty surgery. When patients are unhappy about what happened during the first surgery or when there is a problem with how the nose functions after the primary operation, revision rhinoplasty comes in to solve such issues. It may require correcting any structural defects, working on symmetry, and making the final form of the nose appropriate.

Rhinoplasty Procedure Explained

During the consultation, Dr. Bafitis examines the shape of the patient’s nose in relation to other facial structures. Then, he chooses the most appropriate rhinoplasty method. Next, Dr. Bafitis usually discusses the goals and expectations of the patient and takes photos for future use during the surgery.
Our surgeon reviews any patient’s previous medical history and may order further tests, such as blood or imaging studies if indicated. Nasal obstructions, respiratory problems, or bleeding disorders are conditions that may affect the eligibility of the patient for the surgery.
  • Marking and Anesthesia :
On the day of surgery, Dr. Bafitis marks the nose for incision points. Then, general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation is administered in order to keep the patient comfortable throughout the procedure.
  • Incisions and Reshaping :
Dr. Bafitis makes the incisions either inside the nostrils, known as the closed technique, or across the columella, referred to as the open technique. He reshapes the bone, cartilage, and tissue as needed to meet the patient’s goals for a more balanced appearance.
  • Closure of the Incisions :
After recontouring the nose, these incisions are closed with sutures. The length of surgery usually takes two to three hours, depending on the type of surgery.

Recovery After
Rhinoplasty

At Bafitis Plastic Surgery, we perform several facelift techniques that are specifically customized for each patient. Here are some of the most popular options:

Immediate Recovery
After rhinoplasty surgery, patients will be spending some time in our recovery area while we monitor their condition. Most patients will be with us for a couple of hours, making sure they wake up from the anesthesia comfortably. They could expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the nose and eyes. Dr. Bafitis may prescribe any pain medication to any patient to deal with the discomfort and to smoothen the recovery process.
Patients are usually advised to avoid heavy lifting or any other strenuous activities for the first several weeks following rhinoplasty. The swelling and bruising will remain, most often in the area around the nose and eyes. But it will improve with time. The nasal splint is often supported for the first week. Sutures are usually removed in 7 to 10 days. Most patients can go back to work or return to normal activities in two weeks; however, it’s advisable to avoid activities that can injure the nose.
While the swelling may take several months to be fully resolved, the final settling of the nose can take as long as one year for all subtle changes to be seen. The wait is worth it when it comes to the final results of rhinoplasty: more balance and rejuvenation to enhance facial harmony and function.

Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty can be an option for patients based on the aim of achieving an improvement in either one’s appearance or even the nostrils’ function. Here is a bird’s-eye view of basic points that may make somebody a suitable candidate for the rhinoplasty procedure:
Shape or Size of the Nose

Many patients opt for rhinoplasty because of a big bump, wide nostrils, or an uneven nose. These features make them feel so self-conscious.

Breathing Problems

Rhinoplasty can also be done to improve breathing, especially if one has a deviated septum or any other structural problem blocking one’s nostrils.

Facial Balance

This surgery helps restore balance and harmony to the face if the nose is out of proportion with other facial features.

Stable Health

The candidate should not have any chronic or critical health issues that could complicate either the surgery or recovery process.

Non-smokers

Smoking interferes with the healing process and creates the possibility of complications. Patients should be nonsmokers or stop at least 4 weeks prior to surgery.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Improved Nasal Shape 

Rhinoplasty enhances the nose by significantly improving some of the nose features. These may include a large hump on the nose, a bulbous tip of the nose, or generally asymmetric. This creates a better balance with improved harmony in the proportions of facial features. It also rejuvenates facial aesthetics in general.

For those patients who have difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum or some other structural anomaly, rhinoplasty may be the answer to unblocking nasal passages. It could be in the form of better airflow through the nose, facilitating breathing and thereby reducing manifestations of snoring or sleep apnea.

Many rhinoplasty patients have a significantly stronger feeling of self-confidence. The transformation happening in appearance can reverberate in many aspects that reflect every sense of life, including intimate moments shared between two people.

The results of rhinoplasty can last for many years, especially if the patient lives a healthy lifestyle. Once the nose has fully healed, the changes made during the procedure are usually permanent, and patients can enjoy a more refined appearance for a lifetime.

Most patients who go for a nose job do so because they believe that it will bring more than just beauty alone. It is possible for patients to become comfortable with their daily routines, which may include exercising, talking, and smiling, among others, by making their noses look better and work properly, too. As such, this is one of those crucial surgeries that could massively better an individual’s life, hence increasing their overall happiness.
