Rhinoplasty in Naples

Ragazza sorridente

Rhinoplasty 

It is one of the most requested interventions as the nose plays a decisive position in the delicate balance of the shapes and symmetries of the face. The current trend is to improve the aesthetic appearance by making those changes that do not alter the physiognomy and without the patient therefore being visibly "operated". The preoperative evaluation is carried out by the plastic surgeon considering the nose not as a unit in itself, but in the context of the morphological and skeletal characteristics of the face with particular attention to the conformation of the forehead, cheeks and chin. The operation consists in the reduction and remodeling of the cartilaginous and bone scaffold and is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia or under sedation with the support of local anesthesia.

Risks

If rhinoplasty is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, complications are rare and usually minor. In approximately 10% of cases (from statistical data in world literature) a re-operation may be required, albeit of a small nature. In fact, the biological healing processes in rhinoplasty are absolutely unpredictable and even the most experienced surgeon can find himself faced with small irregularities that must be corrected with a second, generally minimal, operation

The surgery

The surgical procedure typically takes about 1 hour. The incisions are inside the nose and the method requires that the skin part is separated from the supporting bone and cartilaginous structure, which is remodeled according to the pre-operative planning. The skin is then redistributed onto the new scaffold.

The new look

Rhinoplasty requires time and patience on the part of those who undergo the operation because complete recovery times are long and it is normal to sometimes experience moments of discouragement. Many patients feel depressed after surgery and this is normal and easily understandable, but as the swelling reduces, their mood tends to improve. Rhinoplasty can change your appearance and restore that lost self-confidence, but it does not necessarily change your look according to your desires or change the way the people around you behave
