Based on the structure of the nose, the doctor performs bony rhinoplasty or fleshy rhinoplasty. It is interesting to know that there are different types of nose surgery models, which are performed based on the type of nose, the thickness of the skin, etc., and the most suitable type for the patient. The nose has a bony and cartilaginous part. During rhinoplasty, both bone and cartilage parts or one of them are changed.

Tips about bony nose surgery

Many people also think that only bone nose surgery has a good final result. If the surgery is performed by an experienced doctor, it can have a very good result.

Tips about nose surgery

In general, it can be said that people’s noses are fleshy or bony. But for surgery, it doesn’t matter what type of nose a person has. Because if it needs surgery, an experienced doctor can do it beautifully. As mentioned a little earlier, many people think that rhinoplasty will not be very good because in a few years it will go out of its new shape again. There are definitely differences between bony and fleshy noses. But one should not worry about these differences. Because if there are complications after nose surgery, there is no difference for different types of noses.

Types of nose surgery models

Undoubtedly, all the people who go for rhinoplasty want to have a beautiful nose after the operation. But what is the standard of beauty and how is it defined? Is one nose model suitable for all people? A particular nose model is not beautiful on all faces. Most people come with the aim of reducing the nose, but the shape and size of each nose is determined based on the other parts of the face. The type of a person’s nose, whether it is bony or fleshy, has a great impact on the shape of the nose after surgery. Finally, the nose should be in proportion with other parts of the face, such as eyes, lips, forehead, etc., according to beauty standards. The types of nose surgery models are as follows:

Normal nose job

In this type of operation, all problems related to the nose such as hump, deviation, drooping of the tip of the nose, etc. are solved. The appearance of the nose after the operation is completely normal and all problems have been solved. This type of operation has many fans among men. Usually, the results of nose job are completely normal. In the operation of the natural nose, there are no stitches or scars left on the nose.

Semi-fantasy nose job

Semi-fantasy nose surgery is the most popular among women. After this operation, the nose is somewhat normal and the tip of the nose is slightly higher. Although the nostrils and the width of the nose are slightly smaller than usual, the nose is not unnatural or artificial. In this type of nose operation, if the doctor does not have enough experience, the quality of breathing may decrease.

Abnormal models

After the operation, the tip of the nose is in the highest position and the nose has a big arch. The fins and the size of the nose are completely reduced. The shape of the nose is completely unnatural and artificial, and there is a high possibility of causing breathing problems and losing the sense of smell.

Possible risks of rhinoplasty

The number of successful rhinoplasty operations is very high, but this issue does not make us ignore the possible risks. The best solution to reduce possible risks and complications after rhinoplasty is balancing expectations and visiting an experienced specialist doctor. Do not forget that a large part of the surgical results is also related to the post-operative care. After the operation, the doctor explains all the post-nose surgery care to the companion. Possible risks of rhinoplasty are as follows:

• Losing the sense of smell temporarily or permanently is one of the common side effects. In most people, the sense of smell returns to normal after some time, but some people lose their sense of smell completely.
  The creation of non-redness on both sides of the nose in the cavities and nostrils, which often occurs due to the inexperience of the doctor. In these cases, you should first wait for the swelling of the nose to disappear; If the two sides of the nose are still not the same, reconstructive surgery is performed.
• In cases where rhinoplasty surgery is performed simultaneously with nasal deviation surgery, there is a possibility of creating a hole in the nasal septum.
  One of the most common side effects of nose surgery performed by inexperienced doctors is breathing problems. A person cannot breathe through the nose and breathing is done through the mouth, which sometimes has sound.
• Infection is one of the possible risks that will follow adhesions in the internal areas of the nose. Infection after nose surgery is very rare. Usually, to prevent this complication, doctors prescribe antibiotics after nose surgery.
  Numbness in and around the nose is a rare side effect and is completely unpredictable.

Can nose surgery cause death?

Although sometimes we see headlines in newspapers and news sites about the death of a patient during nose surgery, but it must be said that there is a risk of death in every surgery. According to statistics and reports, death due to rhinoplasty surgery is very rare, and usually those who refer to unreliable centers and non-specialist doctors suffer from such problems. Often, excessive use of anesthetics causes coma or death of the patient. On the other hand, if the amount of anesthetic is low, other problems occur. An experienced anesthesiologist knows exactly how much anesthetic to inject.

What are the complications of rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, like any other surgery, has complications. People should be familiar with all the complications before doing this procedure. In the following, we are going to discuss the complications of this cosmetic surgery. It should be noted that most of the complications that occur after surgery are temporary and will be resolved after a period of time.

Swelling and inflammation of the nose

Swelling of the nose after surgery is completely normal. Because when the surgery is done, the nose is under pressure and the wounds that are created on it must first be inflamed and swollen until it goes through the recovery period. After this period, the swelling of the nose should gradually decrease until it reaches its normal state.

Respiratory disorders

Respiratory disorders are one of the factors that discourage many people from rhinoplasty. This disorder may occur to the patient after surgery. Breathing disorder occurs if the surgeon has reduced the cross-section of the airways too much. In this case, problems may arise for the patient. Therefore, it is very important for a person to choose a qualified doctor for nose surgery and to see the samples of his surgeries in advance.

Remaining glue and nasal splint

Remaining adhesive marks, which are often observed, is one of the side effects of nose surgery, and a large part of it depends on the individual. These effects occur due to the tight attachment of the nose tapes and initially the splint.

Nasal infection after surgery

There is a possibility of infection after any type of surgery. Nose surgery will also be included. Therefore, to prevent people from getting infections, you should clean your nose well with washing solutions after surgery.

Common complications of rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is the same as nose surgery. In the following, we briefly mention some of the complications that may occur to people after nose surgery.

Disadvantages of rhinoplasty:

• Constant nosebleeds
• Respiratory disorders
• Leaving scars
• Permanent numbness in and around the nose
• Asymmetry of the edges of the nose
• Persistent pain, discoloration, or swelling of the nose
• Nasal septum perforation

Complications of anesthetics after rhinoplasty

Anesthesia during surgery may be associated with complications. One of these complications is memory impairment. Although this disorder does not happen to everyone, it is more serious in children than in adults. Some of the side effects of anesthesia after rhinoplasty include the following.

Nausea and feeling confused

Nausea is one of the side effects of nose surgery. Some people may feel nauseous after waking up. Some medications may also trigger this condition. Confusion after regaining consciousness is completely normal. But for some people, especially the elderly, this confusion may last longer than younger people.

itchy feeling

Itching is another side effect that may occur after surgery. This condition is a common side effect of narcotic drugs. This drug is a painkiller used in general anesthesia.

Sore throat and muscle pain

A tube placed in the throat to help with breathing may cause a sore throat after removal. Therefore, this complication is also normal and will be resolved after a few days. Also, the medicine that is injected to the patient to relax the muscles so that the breathing tube can be easily inserted into the respiratory system can be the cause of this muscle pain.

hypothermia

Hypothermia, or shivering, is very common in patients who regain consciousness after surgery and occurs in about half of those who undergo surgery.

Persistent delusions

You read earlier that after nose surgery, a person may experience cognitive impairment and short-term memory impairment. Delirium also occurs in the same direction, followed by confusion.
