Rhinoplasty( nose plastic): what is rhinoplasty, how does the nose tip plastic work, surgery feedback
Rhinoplasty, or nose plasty can be done at any age. Often parents do not pay attention to the fact that a child is teased at school because of an ugly nose, there are problems with breathing. This is wrong, doctors say. Rhinoplasty in this case is better to do immediately, without waiting for adulthood. At a more conscious age, a person decides whether he needs a nose plastic( rhinoplasty).
A bit of history
Rhinoplasty refers to a surgical operation to change the existing form of the nose, change the congenital anomalies and even complete restoration of the nose.
The first rhinoplasty operations were made, as it was recently discovered, back in ancient India, Arabia and Persia. Antique surgeons used to restore the nose of the skin flaps from the forehead, cheeks, hands. Widely used this operation to restore the wounded after numerous wars. In a way that such a rhinoplasty, doctors have known for a very, very long time.
Types of rhinoplasty
With rhinoplasty, several different procedures for performing the operation are possible. Which of them is better - the doctor decides in each specific case.
Rhinoplasty can be closed when the surgeon makes incisions at the nose in the most inconspicuous place. Then the doctor can already model the cartilage at his own discretion, achieving the previously agreed with the patient form of the nose.
Of medical instruments, except for a scalpel, a chisel is usually used.
Open rhinoplasty is a more traumatic operation and is performed when the amount of medical intervention is too large. During this operation, cuts are made not only under the nose, but also in the paranasal sinuses. After such an intervention, scars remain quite noticeable.
Among the most popular types of rhinoplasty can be identified removal of the nose of the nose and the plastic tip of the nose.
In a separate operation it is necessary to distinguish septoplasty( correction of a curved nasal septum).Septoplasty is performed not so much on aesthetic, as on more serious medical indications. After such an operation, the person practically disappears with breathing problems.
Synonymous terms
Sometimes patients ask what rhinoplasty differs from nose plasty. Doctors answer: nothing! These are synonymous terms. Simply "rhinoplasty" is an established medical term, and "plastic" is the name of the operation more understandable to the common man.
We should not only compare the serious medical operation of septoplasty associated with the correction of the nasal septum, as described above, and aesthetic correction of the nose shape - rhinoplasty. Often in the process of septoplasty, the surgeon also performs partial rhinoplasty, giving the nose a more beautiful form.

As a child, I fell off the carousel and hit my face hard against the hard ground. Since there were no terrible fractures and bleeding, my parents did not find it necessary to show me to specialists. Everything somehow began to heal itself, but since then the shape of my nose has changed for the better. In general, at the point of impact on the nose, I started to grow a little hole. It was terrible, but it seems that the problem worried me only one.
When I reached the conscious age, I decided on septoplasty and rhinoplasty. The operation was successful, although later there was a long recovery period. From the minuses: my nose attacked a whole colony of acne, and the skin the first months on the nose was very, very fat( then everything came back to normal).In general, if there is medical evidence, then I highly recommend this operation.
