Rhinoplasty ( Nasal Enhancement)El Paso, Texas
Nasal Enhancement, or rhinoplasty, is among the most common of cosmetic procedures. Nasal enhancement can be performed on any part of the nose, to increase or reduce its size, to modify the size and shape of the nostrils, tip or bridge of the nose, or to alter the slope or angle of the nose. Rhinoplasty may also be performed to correct an injury or birth defect, and procedures to correct nasal obstruction and sinus problems can be performed at the same time.
Rhinoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia in an outpatient setting. In most procedures, the skin of the nose is lifted away from the bone and cartilage framework beneath, which is then shaped and sculpted as desired. The skin is then redraped over the "new" framework, and a splint is applied to help your nose maintain its new form. Nasal Packing is not necessary and the procedure is not painful.
Bruising, swelling and discomfort are unusual and can be alleviated with cold compresses and medication prescribed by your doctor. Splints, stitches and packing are removed in five to seven days, and you can usually return to work or non-strenuous activities within a few days. Strenuous activities may be resumed within two weeks.
