NOSE
Rhinoplasty allows the modifiction of
the shape, size and general appearance of your nose.
Removing a hump, thinning the base of the nose, shortening
or lengthening the nose, modifying the point of the
nose
The goal is to correct the disharmony of
the nose within the face and to improve the aesthetic
balance. If internal functional problems (deviation
of the nasal wall) exist, they will be corrected at
the same time. The operation is done from the inside
of the nostrils, and no scar will be visible. The operation
can be done at the end of the bone growth period around
16 or 17. Laboratory exams will systematically be done
to trace eventual contra-indications. The operation
lasts one hour and is generally done under local anesthesia
with the administration of sedative. Sometimes a general
anesthesia is done. A stay at the clinic is not always
necessary.
Post-Operative Effects
Wearing a cast is necessary for seven
or eight days. The bruises around the eyes are generally
unimportant and disappear within a week. After removal
of the cast, the traces of the procedure are almost
non-existent. This procedure is not painful. You will
be able to resume your normal activity about two weeks
after your operation.
Results
One must wait several months before one
can appreciate the definite results. When the operation
is done by an experienced surgeon, the results are excellent.
