septorhinoplasty before and after
septorhinoplasty, also known as rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the shape and structure of the nose. it is commonly performed to correct a deviated septum, which is a common cause of breathing difficulties. during the procedure, the surgeon 수정s the septum to improve airflow and correct any imperfections in the nose's structure.
Before the procedure
Prior to having a septorhinoplasty, patients typically consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss their expectations, medical history and discuss alternative options. during this consultation, the surgeon will take photographs of the patient's nose to create a personalized treatment plan.
the surgery itself typically takes between one to two hours to complete, depending on the extent of the corrections needed. the procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis under general or local anesthesia. during general anesthesia, the patient will be unconscious, while with local anesthesia, the patient will remain awake but feel minimal discomfort.
After the procedure
After the successful completion of the septorhinoplasty, patients will be able to leave the hospital on their own. the recovery process varies depending on the individual and the extent of the procedures, but most people can expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort during the first few days postoperatively. the majority of recovery time is typically one to two weeks.
Following the first few weeks postoperatively, patients may experience some remaining side effects such as nosebleeds, swelling and numbness around the eyes. by the third or fourth week, most people will have returned to their normal daily activities. ultimately, the goal of a septorhinoplasty is to provide a permanently corrected deviated septum that allows for improved breathing, reduced snoring and improved overall quality of life.
