Things to Know Before Rhinoplasty

 Rhinoplasty or a nose job is a nose surgery to change its shape and size or improve its functioning. In addition to its cosmetic benefits, Rhinoplasty Cape Town has more known purposes, such as improving the functioning of the nose after an illness, injury, or any breathing problems. Its main goal is to revise the nose to an individual's desired aspect and functionality, keeping in mind the face structure and the skin type.

Preparation: Food and medication should be taken care of before and after the Nose surgery. Do not take medicines that contain aspirin as it may increase bleeding. Do not smoke or take any herbal remedies two weeks before the Nose surgery.

Procedure: It takes about two to three hours to complete the surgery. It starts with inducing general or local anesthesia. General anesthesia makes the patient sleep during the operation while with the local anesthesia the patient will be sedated and their nose will get numb so that the patient is calm and does not feel the pain. During the Nose surgery, the cuts are made within the nostrils. In severe cases, the cuts might be made across the base of the nose. Then the inner bone and cartilage are reshaped to produce a more pleasing appearance.

Effects: After the Nose surgery, the patient has to stay in bed with the head raised higher than the chest, to reduce the bleeding. The nose may be swollen and congested. The internal dressing is placed in the nose for one week. For the next few days of the surgery or removing the dressing one might suffer from slight bleeding and mucus drainage. A drip pad might be placed under the nose that collects all the old blood drainage.
