Rhinoplasty commonly known as a nose job, is a plastic surgery procedure for correcting and reconstructing the form, restoring the functions, and aesthetically enhancing the nose by resolving nasal trauma (blunt, penetrating, blast), congenital defect, respiratory impediment, or a failed primary rhinoplasty.
Dr. Marcos Sforza, esteemed for his expertise in cosmetic plastic surgery, offers personalised rhinoplasty services designed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose and, when necessary, enhance its function.
Rhinoplasty can address a variety of concerns related to the size, shape, and overall appearance of the nose, bringing it into better harmony with the rest of the face. It can also correct functional issues, such as breathing difficulties related to structural abnormalities. The procedure is highly individualized, taking into account the patient’s facial features, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.
Dr. Sforza emphasizes a thorough consultation process to understand each patient’s unique needs and desires. By employing advanced surgical techniques and a keen aesthetic eye, he aims to achieve natural-looking results that enhance facial harmony and balance. Dr. Sforza’s approach is rooted in an understanding of the intricate anatomy of the nose and a commitment to achieving outcomes that reflect the patient’s individuality.
The surgical techniques used in your procedure will depend largely on the goals desired by you and our Rhinoplasty surgeon. Generally, all of the incisions will be placed inside your nose, where scarring will not be visible.Â
There are two main different techniques of rhinoplasty:Â
➣ Closed Rhinoplasty (can be used for some types of nasal tip reshaping, removing bumps or humps, reshaping cartilage and bones and to remove excess soft tissue.)
➣ Open Rhinoplasty (to be most suitable for patients undergoing complex rhinoplasty procedures such as revision or reconstructive surgery (using cartilage grafts).
Both techniques will have advantages and disadvantages relating to your goals and our surgeon will talk you through these before you both decide on the best technique for you. Rhinoplasty usually requires 1– 1.5h hours to complete depending on the complexity of the surgery and is often performed as a day case, however an overnight stay may be required.Â
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthetic, commonly as a day-case or an overnight procedure.
Recovery depends greatly on the extent of the procedure. Expect to feel sore and swollen for several weeks. THE FINAL RESULT OF THE SURGERY TAKES ABOUT 2 YEARS. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Although most of the bruising and swelling usually disappears within three weeks, some patients may experience swelling for longer.
