Healthy patients who are interested in improving their appearance and/or breathing are the best candidates for this rhinoplasty procedure. Teenagers should wait until around age 16, depending on the individual, for best results and experience.
How is the surgery performed?
There are two main types of rhinoplasty surgery – endonasal and open. Dr. Ernesto J Ruas uses both of these techniques depending upon the extent of surgery required to reach the desired goals. The endonasal approach works well if the procedure is limited mainly to the bridge of the nose. The open technique involves lifting up the skin over the tip of the nose. This allows for more precise sculpting of the nasal framework.
What does Rhinoplasty recovery involve?
Often rhinoplasty procedures can be done as an outpatient procedure, and you will be able to go home the same day. Someone will need to stay with you for the first 24 hours. Sometimes patients need to stay overnight. You will have a splint on your nose for 5-7 days and a small pad to catch the drainage from your nose. You will not be able to blow your nose for a few weeks. Most of the swelling will go down in the first 2-3 weeks, however it takes several months for the final contour to emerge. The swelling on the tip may take up to a year to finally reach the desired goal.
