Is It True My Doctor Is Going To Break My Nose During My Nose Job?
February 1st, 2012
Your nose is one of the first things people notice on a human face. It is also one of the features we are most self-conscious about. Because our eyes are so easily drawn to it, any flaws are going to stand out. If you are one of the many people who think your nose could look better, you should think about getting a Dallas nose job.
One of the reasons people have reservations about this cosmetic surgery is because they are scared of what will go on during the surgery. Like all other cosmetic surgeries, nose surgery in Dallas is completely safe. The surgeon and their staff will go through every guideline to make sure that your surgery and recovery go as smoothly as possible and you end up with the best nose for your face.
You are all on the same team to ensure that your surgery and recovery go swimmingly and you love your end result. As to the most pertinent question, will my nose be broken during surgery, the answer depends. Osteotomies is a procedure in which the bones in your nose are surgically broken and then put back together in the shape and structure you and your doctor envisioned. This procedure is done using a surgical instrument that rearranges the bones cut underneath the skin.
Please note this is not a requirement for all Dallas nose jobs. Usually a surgeon only breaks the nose to widen a base, bridge and/or straighten a crooked nose. The easiest way to find out of your nose will need osteotomies will be to schedule an appointment with your surgeon. As always, the doctor will know what’s best for you.
Nose jobs that require the surgeon to break your nasal bones will begin the same as other types of nose surgeries. You will have instructions for how to prepare before you are admitted to the hospital. Before going on the table, you will be administered anesthesia.
During the surgery, your surgeon will make one of two incisions. They will either make an open incision where the cuts are made on the thin strip of skin between your nostrils, or they will make a closed incision, where the cuts are made inside the nose. This all depends on what you and your surgeon are trying to accomplish. After the incisions, the surgeon will begin to reshape the nose. This is the time the osteotomies will occur.
Upon completion of the surgery, the doctor will close the incision. The use of a splint or internal tube may be necessary the first few days to a week after surgery. Be aware that swelling and bruising is common. This is all part of your healing process.
Because these types of Dallas nose jobs are more involved than surgeries that do not require osteotomies, they normally cause more bruising and swelling for a patient. However, the end result will be a nose that fits your face and looks great. For more information on Dallas nose jobs and to learn if you are a candidate for osteotomies, schedule a consultation with a rhinoplasty surgeon.
