Keeping an eye on the surgeon`s hands
So, you are sleeping sweetly on the operating table. But the doctor and the support staff are not up to sleep.
According to the standard, no more than an hour and a half is given for nose correction surgery. As a rule, it
is
for such a time that the patient is turned off from life with the help of general anesthesia. Most often,
anesthesiologists use profopol (INN, English Propofol) as a "shut-off" agent. This is a fairly well-known
sedative,
approved for use in more than 50 countries. The injection is done intravenously and acts instantly. In the
meantime,
the doctor implements one of three strategies of surgery to correct your nose.
Closed rhinoplasty
This is the most frequently chosen method of surgical intervention so far. Small incisions are made in the nasal
cavity. Then the skin, tissues are separated and the cartilage or bone that make up the frame of the nose is
exposed, with which the doctor begins to work: removes excess or, conversely, adds the missing.
The bone hump is removed with a chisel. In this phase, the work of a surgeon is not much different from the work
of
a carpenter. Knock-knock – and your hump is in the past. With cartilage tissue, the doctor works with special
scissors and wire cutters. If, on the contrary, it is necessary to increase the volume– an implant or an
additive
from your own tissues is inserted.
For the most part, surgeons try not to touch the nasal area called the columella, which is a thin external
septum
separating the nasal passages. However, if an external incision is still needed during the operation, then it is
located there.
The disadvantage of the method can be conditionally considered that the surgeon works almost blindly. However,
we
have to admit that the disadvantage for the doctor turns into a sparing effect on the patient.
Open rhinoplasty
This method of surgical intervention is used for a large amount of work in reconstructive rhinoplasty or for
repeated operations. With open rhinoplasty, incisions are made where necessary, based on the logic and plan of
the
operation. For the uninitiated viewer, the spectacle is not pleasant, but, read the title of the article, which
you
can`t stand, for the sake of beauty.
Endoscopic rhinoplasty
A relatively new, but increasingly expanding method of surgical intervention. The essence of the innovation lies
in
the use of an endoscope - a surgical instrument resembling a flexible tube equipped with microscopic cameras.
The
image from the site of the operation is transmitted to a high-resolution monitor. The doctor controls the
endoscope
from the remote control, inserted into the operation area through microscopic incisions.
This technology allows you to achieve extremely high results due to minimally invasive, precision and rapid
healing
of the wound surface.
Wake up. With a new nose!
You opened your eyes and looked around. Welcome back! You have already been moved to the ward, there are caring
staff around, but the feeling is not pleasant. The first few hours after anesthesia, dizziness, weakness and
drowsiness are felt. Sleep well, but remember that it is better to do it on your back. If you feel pain - do not
hesitate - ask for painkillers. No one needs suffering.
The doctor left tampons in the nasal passages, with which you can live up to three days. You will have to
breathe
through your mouth, of course, it dries up from this. Stock up on drinking water and take small sips throughout
the
day. The food for the first few days is better to choose a diet, mashed.
If the operation included an osteotomy (removal of a part of the bone, for example, a hump), then, in addition
to
tampons in the nose, there will also be a plaster cast or a longet on the face. The shape of the bandage
resembles a
butterfly. But for now you are in a pupal state. The fixing bandage must be worn for up to 10 days.
To all the troubles, severe swelling and picturesque bruises under the eyes are added. Men of a violent nature
are
known by the situation when they flew into the bridge of the nose. Women will have to experience new
indescribable
sensations from contemplating themselves in the mirror. But don`t panic, enjoy the new experience!
1st stage of rehabilitation: plaster is removed
After a day or two, the doctor at the examination, for some barely noticeable signs, understands that everything
is
going according to plan, takes out the tampons and lets you go free. Sometimes you have to stay in the clinic.
It
all depends on the individual reaction of the body.
After removing the tampons, the wound surface should be treated with chlorhexidine, miramistin or other
antiseptic.
The most convenient in this regard are individual sprays, where the washing liquid is under pressure. Blood
clots
and mucus are carefully removed with a sterile cotton swab.
The next visit is approximately on the seventh or tenth day. The plaster cast is removed, the seams are not
removed,
modern suture materials dissolve themselves. The swelling is still quite strong and the bruises around the eyes
have
acquired a rich purple color.
As a rule, within a week after surgery, antibiotics are prescribed, so mild dysbiosis is possible. It`s time to
start taking probiotics that restore intestinal microflora. Nutrition remains gentle, you should refrain from
too
cold or hot food. Sports victories are postponed for about a month. Try not to sneeze, not to cough, not to bend
face down. It is better to sleep on a high pillow in a semi-sitting position.
2nd stage of rehabilitation: client leaves
After seven to ten days, if you have had plastic surgery in Turkey, you can go home or continue
your recovery at one
of the local resorts. If you fixed your nose at home– then your sick leave is over and you can go to work.
However,
bruises still remain and most women prefer to sit in a secluded place for another week.
During the second week after the operation, it is prohibited:
- visit the sauna, sauna or swimming pool;
- overheat on the beach or sunbathe in the solarium;
- do sport;
- lifting weights.
All these recommendations are kept for a month. In addition, it is still recommended to sleep on your back. It
is
not recommended to smoke and drink alcoholic beverages. Well, most likely, you are already used to lenses. At
this
stage, doctors still do not advise using cosmetics. But I already want to leave the house, and bruises
compromise.
You can try the old way – attach a bodyguard to them.
3rd stage of rehabilitation: home care
The first results of the operation begin to manifest themselves in about a month. If you are already at home,
then
make a photo report and send it to the doctor. If you are still in Turkey, visit your surgeon in person. In both
cases, the doctor will give recommendations on how to behave further with your new nose. As a rule, all
restrictions
are removed and you can live the same life. Get into a working rhythm, increase sports loads. But we hope you
will
not return to smoking.
4th stage of rehabilitation: enjoy yourself
The nose acquires its final forms within a year after the operation. Day after day you get used to a new
appearance, anxiety and complexes go away, self-confidence appears. Others will not be able to ignore the
changes taking place in you, success in your professional and personal life will not be slow to wait.
Possible complications after rhinoplasty
The perfect scenario can be broken. Nevertheless, rhinoplasty is a serious operation. The list of complications
is quite large.
-
Unexpected reaction of the body to anesthesia and anesthesia. With all the breadth of the use of profopol,
it
should be remembered that it was from an overdose of this drug that Michael Jackson died.
-
Prolonged nosebleed. There are many blood vessels in the nose and bleeding is inevitable. It usually lasts
up to
2-3 days. Everything from above is dangerous and requires increased attention.
-
Bruises and swelling. It is difficult to call this a complication. However, if the swelling has spread to
the
mucous membrane and it has become difficult to breathe, it`s time to sound the alarm.
-
Difficulty breathing when removing an impressive hump. A serious symptom. Obviously, the nasal passages were
damaged.
- Violation of the sense of smell.
- Decrease or loss of nasal sensitivity.
- Formation of keloid scars and scars. Additional surgical intervention may be required.
- The appearance of a vascular network.
- Hyperpigmentation of the skin.
- Sagging of the skin at the tip of the nose with excessive removal of cartilage.
- Perforation of the nasal septum.
-
Necrosis or atrophy of cartilage and other nasal tissues. Again, let`s remember Michael Jackson and a dozen
of
his rhinoplastics. There is a limit to everything.
All these horror stories are extremely rare. Dissatisfaction with the achieved result may become a more frequent
complication. Therefore, in order not to follow Jackson`s bad example and not to redo it several times live -
negotiate everything on the shore. Choose proven Turkey plastic surgery clinics.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty
In fairness, a few words should be said about non-surgical rhinoplasty. Such is also possible, but with minor,
barely noticeable defects. The proportion of patients who do not require surgery for nose correction does not
exceed 10%. There are several options for such medical manipulation:
- correction of the shape of the nose with fillers (for example, you can get rid of the forked tip);
-
correction with the help of resorbing drugs (in part, such rhinoplasty is akin to liposuction – a drug that
resorbs tissues is injected into the problem area);
- correction with the help of cosmetic tightening threads (you can tighten the tip or wings of the nose).
No special rehabilitation after non-surgical rhinoplasty is required. Only a good doctor with straight arms is
needed.
