The surgery for a curved nose, also known as rhinoplasty, is performed under general anesthesia. Masks prepared with 3D simulation are commonly used in these operations beforehand. However, for patients with a bump exceeding 4-5 mm, an incision is made first, followed by the filing. Specialized bone scissors and devices are used for this purpose.
Rhinoplasty for a Bump on the Nose
Success in curved nose aesthetic surgery:
Nose surgeries typically last 1-1.5 hours in total. Subsequently, the patient is examined one last time, and a health screening is conducted. If there is any complaint of pain, doctors may prescribe painkillers or antibiotics at their discretion. For the first 4-5 hours after curved nose surgery, water and liquid beverages should not be consumed to avoid complications such as vomiting and bleeding. The nose remains bandaged for the first three to four days. It is essential to carefully follow all the warnings given by the experts who performed the operation. Swimming in baths, pools, and the sea is strictly prohibited for the first two days. All contact sports that may strain the nose area (such as football, volleyball, basketball) should be avoided.
After the bandages are removed, it may be noticed that the curved area of the nose has completely flattened. However, it will take at least 3 months for the nose to assume its actual shape. Extra care should be taken to protect the nose from both micro and macro traumas. It is advisable to wait at least one week before wearing glasses or garments that pass over the head, such as T-shirts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Rhinoplasty for a Bump on the Nose and Its Procedure
The bones between the cartilage and the top point of the nose are cut and straightened with special scissors. Then, the filing process begins. The longer the bump, the longer the surgery takes. In these procedures, there may be a gap under the filed nose. Therefore, this gap needs to be filled, and the nose slightly narrowed. The remaining bones in the open roof area are shaved, and the operation is completed.
Advantages of Humped Nose Surgery
In surgeries where a new nasal dorsum is created, the risk factor is minimized. After just a few days of rest, the patient can return to their social life. It is performed to replace individuals’ humped nasal structures with a much thinner nose that is proportionate to the overall face. It offers many benefits both aesthetically and health-wise.
Silikon and Drug Use
Silicone is used in many nasal surgeries, including those for correcting a prominent nasal bridge. The silicone used protects the nose and accelerates the healing process. In addition to this, no pain relievers or substitutes should be used without the prescription or recommendation of a doctor. Silicone can cause a sensation of dryness and throat discomfort in some individuals. To prevent this, mouth sprays available at pharmacies can be used twice daily.
Postoperative Bleeding Risk
In today’s conditions, rhinoplasty surgery, including nasal hump reduction, carries minimal risk and side effects. Bleeding may occur in one out of every hundred patients temporarily. Additionally, a pinkish fluid may discharge from the nose during the first day, which patients might mistake for bleeding, but it actually signifies the body’s self-repair process. After 48 hours, the nasal discharge returns to normal. If bleeding is severe and continuous, patients should contact their doctors.
After the curved nose aesthetic surgery
After the curved nose aesthetic surgery, depending on the patient’s condition, the patient is either discharged or recommended for a one-day hospital stay under general anesthesia. Following hospital discharge, at least 2 weeks of rest is advised to avoid complaints such as bleeding, swelling, and pain.
After the curved nose surgery, patients should attend follow-up appointments on dates recommended by the doctor, during which the nasal silicone is removed first, followed by the plaster and nasal bandage. Throughout the healing process, it is crucial to keep the head elevated using high pillows and protect the nose from impacts. Patients who undergo a successful recovery period typically return to their routine activities around the 10th day. Doctor follow-up is recommended for 6 months after the operation.
Following curved nose aesthetic surgery, it is often observed that patients regain confidence in their appearance, become more productive in social and work life, reconcile with their physical appearance, and become happier individuals.
