Rhinoplasty is always performed under a local anesthetic or with a general anesthetic. In most cases, incisions are made on the inner side of the nostrils. In many cases, a small, tiny, inconspicuous incision is made across the columella which is the bit of skin separating the nostrils. After this, the surgeon separates the soft tissues present inside the nose from the underlying structures thus reshaping the bone and the cartilage. After this type of open surgery, most of the people have to remain at home for nearly a week. In case of the patient having any type of external sutures, hose sutures are removed within 4 to 5 days after surgery. In case of any external casts, they are removed after one week.
Internal stents are generally removed after one or two weeks. There are some minor cases of settling and subtle shifting of the nose during the period of wound healing over the first year. The pre-orbital bruising doesn’t last more than two weeks.
Although Rhinoplasty is considered to be a safe and successful type of surgery, there are several types of complications that may arise after this procedure. Post operative bleeding is a common symptom but it resolves without any treatment. Apart from these, there might occur risk of reactions and infections from different medications and anesthesia. In many cases, reports of bursting of blood vessels have been reported which results in small scars and red spots on the underside of the nose.
