What To Know About Your Rhinoplasty Vancouver Surgeon
The Rhinoplasty surgeon now must prepare a plan for surgery that is expected to correct the aesthetic and functional deformities. Though this step may sound simple, it is quite complex and requires a great deal of experience.
A cosmetic surgeon who specializes in Rhinoplasty will experience many different types of nasal anatomic structures and is more capable of effectively correcting the problems that arise. Small dorsal humps and a bulbous are more common problems among the nasal complications and easier to correct than on a severely over-resected and previously operated nose. Even the least complicated nose surgeries entail large amounts of detail oriented work and precision in execution.

Best Candidates for Rhinoplasty Vancouver
The best candidates for a primary rhinoplasty Vancouver is generally those whose nose is too large, too wide, or if the tip of the nose needs reshaping.
A rhinoplasty can address a number of different issues including modifying nose size in relation to your face, nose width at the bridge, the size and position of the nostrils, and nose profile i.e. downsizing any visible humps, bumps, and/or depressions on the bridge. A primary rhinoplasty Vancouver such as this can also correct nasal asymmetry.
It is important to understand how a primary rhinoplasty Vancouver works as it pertains to the structure of the nose. The septum is the wall between the two nostrils. Dividing the nasal cavity into two halves, the septum is built of cartilage and bone. Ideally a nasal septum will be straight, perfectly separating the left and right sides of the nose into passageways of equal size. Much in the same way that physical bodies are built, this type of perfect symmetry is not achieved in most people. If you are happy with the look of your nose and don’t feel a need to repair it, leave it alone. As it is with any part of the body, if it is not causing you difficulties mentally or physically and is causing no damage then a patient may not feel the need to change it in any way.
If you have not previously had a rhinoplasty, thereby making you eligible for a ‘primary rhinoplasty’, going with an expert surgeon such as Dr. Solomon should be a priority. Having an experienced, expert surgeon such as Dr. Solomon at your side to guide you through the process will help eliminate the possibility of complications such as infection, bleeding, breathing issues via nasal obstruction, dissatisfaction with the cosmetic results, having to undergo additional touch-up surgeries, anesthesia complications, and/or septal perforation i.e. when a small home in the septum causes turbulence that results in a whistle when a person sings or speaks.
THE MOST DIFFICULT PLASTIC SURGERY
Of all the facial plastic surgeries, Rhinoplasty Surgery is one of the most difficult. This is primarily due to the anatomic detail that varies from nose to nose. The anatomy of each patient’s nose differs in size, shape, skin type, ethnicity, nostril size, bridge size, etc. The cosmetic surgeon must be capable of performing an accurate and complete analysis of the nose to determine every aesthetic and functional deformity.
The Two Types Of Rhinoplasty Vancouver
Open rhinoplasty: Commonly used for major nose reshaping, an ‘open rhinoplasty’ is when the incisions are made in the vertical strip of skin that separates the nostrils. The skin and soft tissue will then be elevated off the underlying structures of the nose so that the surgeon can see the nasal anatomy in full and be able to perform the outlined procedure.
Closed rhinoplasty: Typically used for minor reshaping, a ‘closed rhinoplasty’ involves surgeons making incisions from within the nose. The skin of the nose is then separated from the bone and a cartilage. Once exposed, the bone and cartilage can be removed, reshaped, augmented, or re-arranged to achieve the desired new shape.
How We Evaluate Your Nose For A Rhinoplasty Vancouver
Having never had a rhinoplasty before, getting one can be an intimidating process.
The first step however is to schedule a consultation. Among the initial steps is to evaluate your nose, something that will be performed by your surgeon. A large part of this is using advanced computer imaging to ‘try on’ different noses. This will also give you the opportunity to understand the limitations of a rhinoplasty and to agree on realistic expectations for your primary rhinoplasty Vancouver. Many of our patients have in the past brought in examples of noses that appeal to them. This sometimes can help in the dialogue towards establishing a solid set of expectations for your primary rhinoplasty Vancouver. This will also give us a better idea of what you want in a nose. At times, we may recommend other facial procedures to help to achieve better balance and facial proportions. This depends entirely upon the patient however and the expectations of what they hope to achieve with their rhinoplasty.
Recovering From A Rhinoplasty Surgery
Immediately after a rhinoplasty, we have had many patients express excitement and sometimes anxiety at seeing their new nose.
It is always important to be aware of the fact that the recovery process of a rhinoplasty Vancouver takes time. The complete results will not be evident immediately. Truth be told it can take up to a full year for the extent of a rhinoplasty Vancouver to be fully seen.
The first 24 hours following a rhinoplasty Vancouver may see several issues occurring. You may be unable to breathe through your nose for the first 24 hours due to swelling primarily. This is normal. There may be some discomfort and slight pain, which is why pain medicine is often recommended to help mitigate the after-effects. This discomfort should subside within the two days following the rhinoplasty Vancouver surgery process. There may also be limited bleeding during the first few days following. It is highly important to avoid any trauma to the nose in the first week after surgery. In addition, you should not blow your nose for 4 weeks following rhinoplasty, however you can use a saline spray and gentle mist for some relief.
