Rhinoplasty

Most people are unhappy with something about their physical appearance, for many of these people the subject of their grief is their nose. Nose dissatisfaction is generally divided into one of two parts: aesthetic or functional. On occasion, the dissatisfaction is equally distributed between the two. Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can improve almost any nose issue. Let’s take a look at some of the common complaints nose surgery can address:
  • It can create a more normal aesthetic and better functionality after trauma or injury
  • It can adjust size so that it is more proportionate to the other facial features
  • It can adjust the width of the nose
  • It can remove bumps and indentations
  • It can adjust issues with the shape of the tip of the nose
  • It can improve nostril size and shape
  • It can realign the nose for better symmetry
  • It can clear the airway of obstructions and abnormalities for easier breathing
Nose surgery is best performed on patients 13 years and older who are in good physical and mental health, non-smokers and have realistic expectations for the procedure and its results. Now, let’s take a look at what the procedure itself will entail:
  • Anesthesia will be administered either intravenously with sedation or through general anesthesia.
  • Incisions will be made either inside of the nose (closed procedure) or across the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils (open procedure).
  • The nose will then be reshaped to the desired result, often through the use of cartilage grafted from another part of the body. If obstruction is the issue, the nose will be straightened and aligned to clear the airway.
  • The incisions will be closed and the nose will be put in a splint.
  • Swelling will continue to go down over the following weeks, though it may take up to a year for your final results to settle.
As with all surgical procedures, there are risks and it’s important that you discuss these risks with your Plastic Surgeon. When you go home and as you continue to heal, you will have certain restrictions you will need to adhere to in order to ensure a safe and speedy recovery. If you experience any chest pain or shortness of breath, it is important to seek medical attention right away.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who is at risk for developing varicose veins?

    Women naturally have a higher chance of developing varicose veins, especially women who are pregnant. However, it is important to keep in mind that roughly 42 percent of men experience varicose veins by the time they turn 60. Family history is one of the biggest factors that determine whether or not you will develop varicose veins.

    If you don’t get your varicose veins removed, they may result in skin sores, skin ulcers, blood clots or even deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It is best to get your veins treated as soon as possible to reduce your risk of developing complications down the road.

    There is a misconception that when Botox is administered, it results in a frozen or numb facial appearance. In simpler terms, patients may feel like they will no longer be able to make facial expressions. This is why it is important to find a qualified surgeon with years of experience administering Botox, as they will be able to judge how much Botox you need and help judge the size of your muscles.

    Botox is extremely effective in temporarily reducing wrinkles! Whether you have forehead lines that you don’t like or you want to get rid of frown lines or crow’s feet, the highly purified toxins in Botox can help erase them!

    The side effects of Botox in Itasca are typically mild and short-lived. You can expect slight bruising, and, in one to five percent of cases, Botox may cause mild droopiness of the eyelid or the eyebrow. This usually goes away within two weeks.

    Though it’s often the best option if your condition has progressed, you can also take measures to avoid varicose and spider veins besides vein treatment. To reduce your chances of developing unsightly veins, it’s important to exercise, avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time, maintain a healthy weight, and/or use compression stockings.
