There are a few different types of rhinoplasty procedures. These include the Nasal resection septoplasty, Sub mucous resection septoplasty, and closed rhinoplasty. Each of these rhinoplasty surgeries has its own unique pros and cons. Rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries performed worldwide. Find out why it’s becoming more popular in India!

Nose-narrowing rhinoplasty
A nose-narrowing rhinoplasty can reduce bumps on the nose and improve the angle between the nose and mouth. It can also help address breathing problems, including a deviated nasal septum. This type of rhinoplasty is sometimes called septoplasty. The surgeon will use cartilage grafts from your ear or rib cage to rebuild the nasal support structures.
The first step in the nose-narrowing rhinoplasty procedure is identifying the cause of the excess width on the nose. The plastic surgeon will then use chisel cuts to release the bone for re-alignment. The surgeon will then use a small bone chisel called an osteotome to make the incisions. Once the bone is released, the surgeon will use an osteotome to sculpt the cartilage and bones, which will create a new nose.
Closed rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the shape of the nose. The procedure usually takes one to two hours. After surgery, the nose will be placed in a cast or splint to minimize swelling and discomfort. Patients should stay out of the sun and drink plenty of water. It is also important that the patient refrain from driving for at least 24 hours after surgery.
There are two main types of rhinoplasty. An open rhinoplasty is a more complex procedure involving multiple incisions and lifting of the skin of the nose. Closed rhinoplasty, on the other hand, requires only two small incisions within the inner nostrils. This method also has fewer side effects and a shorter recovery time than open rhinoplasty.
Nasal resection septoplasty
Nasal resection septoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision in one side of the nose to access the septum. Next, he or she lifts the mucous membrane protecting the septum and moves it into position. This procedure is generally done in one session and does not require a hospital stay.
This procedure focuses on the reshaping of the septum and straightening the nasal bones. The surgeon may lift or reshape the cartilage and mucosa lining to reduce the angle. It can also reduce the size of the enlarged turbinates, which can cause a blockage. If the septum is enlarged, the cosmetic surgeon may also use radiofrequency to shrink the turbinate or remove part of the turbinate to reduce its size.
Submucous resection septoplasty
If you have decided to have a septoplasty, you should be aware of any medications you are taking, and you should also be aware of any allergies or bleeding problems. A small amount of bleeding is to be expected with any surgical procedure, and you may feel some pain after surgery. If the bleeding is excessive, the surgeon may end the procedure and try to stop it. A packed red blood cell transfusion may be required, but this is very rare and will only be given if necessary. Although there are some risks of septoplasty, they are minimal and should resolve within two weeks. A local anesthetic will be administered to numb the affected area in Mumbai.
The goal of a septoplasty is to correct a deviated septum and restore proper nasal function. It may also result in cosmetic improvements. Most adults have a deviated septum. In some cases, septoplasty is performed for a more functional reason such as recurrent sinusitis or epistaxis associated with septal deviation. In addition, septoplasty may be performed to gain access to the sphenoid or pituitary gland.
Recovery from rhinoplasty
After a rhinoplasty, you will need to take extra care of yourself during recovery. For example, you should avoid blowing your nose for a few days. Instead, use a tissue to wipe your nose. You should also avoid sneezing too hard. You also need to rest. You should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for the first two weeks. In addition, a nutritious diet with plenty of protein, calcium, and vitamin C will help you recover more quickly.
Conclusion
You should plan to take at least a week off work after your rhinoplasty surgery. This will allow proper blood flow and prevent additional bruising or displacing of your nose. After the first week, you can go back to work or resume normal activities. However, you shouldn’t engage in strenuous activities for at least six weeks after your procedure.
