What makes a nose beautiful? If one tries to define beauty, it can be grouped by color, shape, or proportions that are perceived as harmonious. Around the world, individual tastes, celebrity styles, cultural differences, and media influence significantly shape beauty standards. If the appearance of the nose is unsatisfactory, a surgical procedure - rhinoplasty, or nose correction, may be performed.
The upper part of the nose structure consists of bone, while the lower part is made of cartilage. During a nose surgery, it is possible to change the bone, cartilage, skin, or all three components. It is necessary to discuss with the surgeon whether rhinoplasty is suitable for you and how the desired result will be achieved. When planning the surgery, the surgeon takes into account the facial features, the condition of the skin on the nose, and what changes the patient wants. If the patient is suitable for the surgery, an individual plan is developed. This is why choosing a specialist, such as the best plastic surgeon in Riga, is crucial for the outcome.
Why is rhinoplasty performed?
Rhinoplasty allows for changing the size, shape, or proportions of the nose. It is performed to correct deformities after injuries, congenital defects, or to improve respiratory function. The surgery can improve the ratio of the nose size to the face, the width of the nose, the size of the nostrils, the profile of the nasal bridge with noticeable bumps or depressions, correct an enlarged, upturned, or crooked tip of the nose, as well as asymmetry.
Preparation for surgery
Before the surgery, it is necessary to consult with the surgeon regarding the goals of the procedure and the patient's medical history. A physical examination is conducted with a thorough assessment of the skin on the nose to determine possible changes. The surgeon may order blood tests or other laboratory studies. It is recommended to avoid taking painkillers that slow blood clotting and increase the risk of bleeding about two weeks before and after the surgery.
Postoperative period
The surgery is not painful as it is performed under general anesthesia. To prevent bleeding and swelling, precautions must be followed for several weeks after the surgery. The doctor may recommend avoiding intense physical activities, taking baths instead of showers to keep the dressings dry, and protecting the nose from mechanical impacts. When brushing teeth, it is advisable to minimize the movement of the upper lip. Swelling of the face and bruising may persist for two to four weeks after the nose surgery.
