Features of bone intervention
Bone correction involves removing the hump and osteotomy, a controlled cutting of the nasal bones to move them and narrow the dorsum. This is a more traumatic stage: after it, swelling and bruising under the eyes are natural, and a fixing splint is applied to the nose for 7–10 days. When the nose is bent after an injury, the intervention solves both an aesthetic and a functional problem, so it is often combined with septoplasty - correction of the septum, restoring nasal breathing.
Plastic surgery of the central area of the face
The nose and lips form the central axis of the face: changes here are most noticeable and require the most precise planning. The surgeon’s task is not to make an “ideal” shape according to a template, but to bring the proportions into harmony with the rest of the features of a particular face.
Therefore, preparation includes a photographic protocol, discussion of expectations and, if necessary, computer simulation of the result.
Key interventions
- correction of the cartilaginous part of the nose - the shape of the tip and wings
- correction of the bony part of the nose - the bridge of the nose and hump
- cheiloplasty - changing the shape and contour of the lips
- lipofilling - replenishing volume with your own adipose tissue
What is important to understand in advance
The final result of surgery on the nose is assessed no earlier than after 6–12 months: tissue swelling subsides gradually and unevenly. Lipofilling requires adjustments for engraftment - part of the injected fat is absorbed in the first months, so the volume is injected with a reserve or the procedure is repeated.
