SURGERY OF THE NOSE
The nose is a very important part of the face. Disproportion in any of its parts will result in deformity to some degree. Being the central focal point of the patient’s face, a misshapen nose is often an object of great insecurity for an individual.
Recent improvements in our understanding of the normal anatomy of the nose have allowed us to produce much more natural, esthetic results, individually tailored to the patient’s facial structure, in sharp contrast to the “assembly-line tweaked up nose” of the past.
Corrective surgery of the nose has improved to the point of actually being a scar-less operation in the great majority of cases. This is because, in most cases, the surgery is performed from inside the nose via the nostrils.
Usually, bruising around the eyes and swelling on the nose could last from 7-10 days. There is a slight to moderate degree of discomfort, which usually lasts only the first couple of days. The final result may not be apparent until 6-12 months following nose
surgery although a gradual improvement is noticeable right after the surgery.
