Rhinoplasty (Alternation of the Nose) Procedure

Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia is required, based on the complexity of the procedure and the preferences of the surgeon. Rhinoplasty can be performed inside the nose or between the nostrils by a tiny internal cut at the base of the nose. The doctor will probably rectify the bone and cartilage below the skin. The surgeon may use cartilage from inside of the nose or ear for small changes. The surgeon might use cartilage in the rib, implants or bone of certain parts of the body to make substantial changes. The surgeon will put the skin and tissue back of the nose and stitch the incisions into the nose while such changes have been made. The surgeon can also rectify the wall between both sides of the nose to enhance breathing if it is bent or crooked.
