Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty

“Rhinoplasty”, commonly known as a “Nose Job,” is a surgical procedure to alter the shape or function of the nose.

It is often performed for cosmetic reasons, such as improving the appearance of the nose, or for functional reasons, such as correcting breathing difficulties caused by structural issues within the nose, like a deviated septum.

Types of Rhinoplasty

1. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Alters the size, shape, or proportions of the nose to enhance facial harmony.

1. Functional Rhinoplasty

 Focuses on improving breathing by addressing structural defects.

1. Reconstructive Rhinoplasty

 Restores the form and function of the nose after trauma, injury, or a previous surgery.

Procedure

• Open Rhinoplasty: Involves a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), providing greater visibility for the surgeon.
• Closed Rhinoplasty: All incisions are made within the nostrils, leading to no visible scarring and less invasive recovery.

What SHIFA offers

Piezoelectric rhinoplasty

Piezoelectric rhinoplasty is an advanced, minimally invasive rhinoplasty technique that utilizes piezoelectric devices to reshape the nasal bones. Instead of traditional tools like chisels and rasps, which can be more traumatic to the tissues, piezoelectric instruments use ultrasonic vibrations to precisely cut and sculpt bone without damaging surrounding soft tissues, cartilage, or blood vessels.

Advantages of Piezoelectric Rhinoplasty

1. Precision: Piezoelectric devices allow for highly accurate bone sculpting, making it easier for surgeons to achieve desired results.
2. Reduced Trauma: Since this technique selectively targets bone and spares soft tissue, there is typically less bruising and swelling.
3. Faster Recovery: Patients often experience a quicker recovery period with less postoperative discomfort compared to traditional rhinoplasty methods.
4. Improved Outcomes: The enhanced precision leads to better and more consistent cosmetic outcomes, with fewer risks of irregularities or asymmetry

Recovery

• Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common in the first few weeks.
• Full results may take several months to a year as the nose continues to heal and settle into its new shape.

Risks

As with any surgery, rhinoplasty carries risks such as infection, bleeding, or dissatisfaction with cosmetic outcomes.

In order to achieve the best result in nose surgery, you need consultation and use of specialized services. In this way, SHIFA will be by your side so that you can achieve your desired result without worry.
