The Benefits of Rhinoplasty in Kogarah and Sydney With A/Prof Damian Marucci

The Benefits of Rhinoplasty in Kogarah and Sydney

Rhinoplasty or “nose jobs” reshape the nose for a variety of aesthetic and health reasons. Patients might seek rhinoplasty to correct perceived physical imperfections such as humps, hooks, and wide noses. Patients might also seek surgical assistance to relieve sinus pressure, alleviate problems related to a deviated septum, or repair damage from trauma to to the nasal cavity. Rhinoplasty presents a permanent and time-tested solution to many nasal deficiencies.

Those patients seeking cosmetic improvement often find great satisfaction with minimal changes to the appearance of the lines of their nose. For instance, the removal of a small hump at the bridge of the nose easily creates a more classic aquiline profile. This alteration offers a small change that creates a sense of self confidence and ease in a patient troubled by the perceived defect throughout life. Patients find success with surgery correcting other perceived imperfections such as pushed up pug noses, sloping hooks, as well as wide bridges.

Patients seeking cosmetic results should be mindful that even small changes to the face may drastically change appearance. It is best to consult at length with a cosmetic surgeon like A/Prof Damian Marucci prior to surgery to develop a sense of a common outcome and set of realistic expectations for the surgery. A plastic surgeon employs both medicine and the sensibility of an artist when constructing a new shape for the nose with an emphasis on creating facial symmetry and harmony.

For those who suffer from deviated septum, rhinoplasty offers a welcome option to correct breathing problems that may impair day to day activities as well as aid the correction of associated sleep problems. Sleep apnea actually blocks the airways at night and often leads to several health related problems. In certain cases the only solution is rhinoplasty or septoplasty.

If patients suffer from sinus infections on a frequent basis often the shape of the nose and nasal cavity contributes to the recurring infections. Surgical options may provide relief for the nagging symptoms of chronic sinus infections which can include lethargy, breathing problems, and headaches. Patients with chronic sinus issues should consult with a doctor to see if nasal surgery would alleviate these problems.

The nose is a fragile structure and traumatic impact to this area from sports related injuries, car accidents or other trauma not only alters the appearance of the face but also may create painful difficulties with breathing. In cases of facial trauma, a nose may be reset to its original position to best replicate the feature prior to injury.

Rhinoplasty procedures take two forms. Closed rhinoplasty surgery takes place exclusively within the nasal structure whereas open rhinoplasty creates a small, open incision at the exterior end of the nasal septum. In both procedures the surgeon works to shape and mold the cartilage and fleshy tissue of the nose into its new shape. Healing times vary for each procedure, however patients undergoing a rhinoplasty procedure should plan to spend about a week in convalescence with an additional week to remove bandaging, supportive stents, and see reduced bruising around the nose and orbital sockets.

Nonsurgical options exist to correct cosmetic features of the nose such as depressions, heightening the angle of the tip, or reducing the appearance of bumps. The procedures employs injectable fillers like collagen to the shape of the patient’s nose without invasive surgery.

Rhinoplasty works to increase facial symmetry creating an attractive harmony amongst all facial features. Rhinoplasty procedures that seek to correct health issues or trauma aim to keep natural facial harmony in tact while improving the underlying structures that assist breathing. For whatever reason rhinoplasty is sought, patients experience a sense of relief and improved self-confidence once the surgery is performed and the bandages come off.
