Rhinoplasty Surgical Procedure
A cosmetic nose surgery is preceded by a routine examination of the patient which will include some blood tests and an ECG. Prior to the operation, photographs of the patient are taken. This is standard routine practice before any cosmetic surgery.

The cosmetic plastic surgery is a completely painless procedure because of the use of modern anesthesia. If the operation is done successfully, there may not even be any scars on the patients face.

During Rhinoplasty operation, the nose bone is sculpted using special surgical instruments. Usually patients want their nose to be made smaller but it can be made bigger if the patient wants it otherwise. When the desired size and shape are obtained, a nasal splint is put on the nose. The splint stays in place for a week to let the nasal structures heal.

During the first three days after the operation, the patient will need a nasal packing which help to prevent bleeding and supports the new shape and form of the nose. The Rhinoplasty operation is done under enhanced local anesthesia. The patient is also given some sedative to reduce stress and tension during the operation. After the eighth day, the splint will be removed and the patient will be the owner of a new nose shaped to his/her requirements.
