Overview of

Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty)

in Thailand

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure done to enhance facial symmetry by reshaping the nose. It is a common aesthetic technique used to bring balance to the face and thereby improving your overall look.

Contrary to popular belief, rhinoplasty is not only done for beauty enhancement. It can also be done to bring relief to any structural anomalies in the nose such as damage brought about by accidents. Rhinoplasty can improve the size, shape, and symmetry of the nose.

Also known as a “nose job”, rhinoplasty not only enhances facial symmetry but also relieves the patient of any breathing problems brought about by nasal anomalies. In some cases, patients are born with uneven or blocked nasal passages which causes difficulty of breathing.

Here are some specific issues that can be solved with rhinoplasty:

nasal asymmetry
upturned, drooping, and bulbous nasal tip
large or asymmetrical nostrils
nasal bumps
overall nasal asymmetry

Rhinoplasty can either enhance or reduce the shape of a nose. In a procedure called reduction rhinoplasty, the patient’s own bone and cartilage are sculpted to improve facial symmetry. On the other hand, a nose reshaping surgery may use artificial or natural grafts to add or improve the structure of the nose.

Goals of

Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty)

In essence, rhinoplasty can either be considered as cosmetic or reconstructive.

The two main goals of rhinoplasty are to improve the look and function of the nose. While this procedure is more widely utilized as a way to improve the overall look of the face, it can be also be used to repair other structural anomalies such as bumps, large nasal tips, or blocked nasal passages. People who have experienced injury to the face as a result of an accident can also benefit from rhinoplasty.

Pros

Improved self-esteem. If you’ve been struggling with the size or shape of your nose for years, then rhinoplasty can definitely improve the way you see yourself.

There are a number of ways which you can go about your rhinoplasty experience. The type of anesthesia, technique, and complexity of the procedure will depend on your own unique needs.

Before going in for your appointment, your surgical team will discuss these key points with you. It is also important to set realistic goals and expectations with your surgeon. You must be on the same page with your surgical team about how you want to look after the procedure.

Pain control is essential during and after the procedure. Your anesthesiologist may use local or general anesthesia depending on the complexity and duration of the procedure.

In order to change the shape of your nose, the doctor may need to use some cartilage from your own body. The doctor can extract it from your ear, your rib, or even from within your nose.

Your surgical team will help you prepare for the surgery. You will also need to disclose if you’re taking any type of medication or supplements. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking them a few days before the procedure.

You must be free from any infection and respiratory problems. If you have existing medical problems such as diabetes or heart disease you will need to ask for medical clearance before your rhinoplasty.

Recovery after

Post - treatment

A typical rhinoplasty procedure takes around 2 to 3 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of your case. Your team will then place you in the recovery area where you will be closely observed and monitored. In some cases, patients may also be asked to stay overnight in the hospital to ensure a smooth recovery process.

You will be sent home with a nose splint which will be in place for about a week. Once that’s removed, you will need to stay at home for at least another week to recover before returning to your usual activities.
