Rhinoplasty

Among the various plastic surgery procedures available today, rhinoplasty (the technical name for nose surgery) is the most complex type of surgery to be performed with excellence.

The nose is one of the most striking elements of a person’s face, and minor irregularities in the shape can cause severe problems in the patient’s self-esteem. The rhinoplasty techniques developed can correct these imperfections to harmonize facial symmetry and assist in better functioning of the respiratory system.

In addition to harmony with the face, in practice, rhinoplasty can improve breathing, the sense of smell and bring more quality of life to those patients who suffer from acquired and congenital deformities.

In our Medical Practice, we mainly perform the structured technique, which is less aggressive and present more natural and aesthetically balanced results for the face.

More experienced surgeons in facial procedures use this technique. They separate all the subunits of the nose usually remove cartilage from the septum, and perform the modifications of the structures accurately. The result is more longer-lasting and poses less risk of future changes.

In general, the Physician evaluates the face size, nasal angles, skin characteristics, and requirements for good life quality. That’s the reason the Physician must choose the procedure carefully. After all, rhinoplasty is a manual procedure that requires precise and accurate skills so that everything works as planned.

In addition, you will find in our medical clinic the support of qualified professionals to solve all your questions – whether they refer to the surgery procedure or postoperative care. If you are considering undergoing a rhinoplasty, schedule an appointment and get all the information you need to help you make that decision.

After a Rhinoplasty surgery, the nose continues suffering the effects of different forces, such as breathing, which generates negative pressure in the airways.

As a result, the scar tissue that will form around the cartilages that have been set may undergo small deformations over time and even change the position of these cartilages.

Due to this, the Structured Rhinoplasty aims to strengthen this nasal structure, which contributes to more long-lasting results and greater precision upon sculpting the cartilage, allowing a more natural and harmonious result.

Depending on the case, the surgeon may prioritize the internal incisions in the nose, which contributes to making these marks completely imperceptible.

With advances in drugs and equipment technology for patient control and monitoring, general anesthesia has become the safest when adequately recommended.

We must consider critical factors such as: pre-existing diseases, preoperative exams, skilled professionals, state-of-the-art equipment, and hospitals with adequate infrastructure for the type of surgery.

The awareness of the patient’s medical history and a clinical evaluation to indicate the appropriate medical procedure are critical. Using all the technological resources available today, adequate monitoring allows controlling the heart rate, blood pressure, oxygenation, airway, body temperature, preventing thrombosis and even measuring patient’s level of consciousness.
