Rhinoplasty – commonly called a nose job is one of the most requested and performed operations by plastic surgeons. In the USA alone, more than 200,000 surgical procedures were performed under rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty surgery involves altering and transforming the nose. New technologies in Rhinoplasty have seen a growth in different nose surgery techniques and methods.
Being such a central focal point of facial features, the way your nose looks really influences the overall appearance of your face. If your nose is overly large or misshapen, your face lacks symmetry. It can also contribute to dissatisfaction with your looks which can lead to negative wellbeing.
If you are unhappy with the size, shape or position of your nasal bones or the size and flare of your nostrils, you need to talk to a professional. This person can discuss the surgical procedure and other options.
The field of cosmetic transformation and plastic surgery, most especially facial plastic surgery, has undergone massive technological development in recent decades. There are several options in rhinoplasty using different techniques.
Let’s look at some of the most current methods and techniques that facial plastic surgeons in New York and the rest of the United States are using to transform noses.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
For patients that don’t want to undergo the general anesthesia and reconstructive surgery of open rhinoplasty, non-surgical rhinoplasty is a popular option.
A board-certified plastic surgeon uses injectable fillers that reshape the nose, acting on the soft tissue to alter the nose’s overall appearance. This can be done in a clinical setting, has minimal downtime and offers effective, long-lasting results.
Laser-Assisted Rhinoplasty
Touted as the most cutting edge rhinoplasty technique, the use of a laser to reshape the nose produces an increased degree of precision in the shaping of nasal bones and cartilage. The surgery is neater and bleeding-free than other rhinoplasty procedures.
3D Imaging Technology
3D imaging is fast becoming one of the most advanced tools in revision rhinoplasty. It is able to create a really detailed and accurate representation of the nose and what needs to be altered.
It allows a surgeon like Dr. Wise at the Cadogan Clinic to view case details much more intricately, and to plan ultrasonic rhinoplasty in a much more efficient fashion.
Computer Assisted Surgery
CAS, computer assisted surgery, is technology that enables surgeons to create a virtual model of a person’s nose. This allows them to plan surgery with much increased precision.
CAS can be particularly helpful if you have a specific issue with the shape or setting of your nose. This might have been caused by a previous injury or surgery. Using computer assistance can vastly improve the outcome of any surgery including rhinoplasty.
Preservation Rhinoplasty
Traditional rhinoplasty surgery generally involves drastic reshaping of the nasal bone. The more-recently developed preservation rhinoplasty is a technique used to conserve the natural structure and features of the nose during the surgical procedure.
This approach is generally less invasive than traditional rhinoplasty. It will always lead to a much more natural looking result that isn’t too different to your pre-surgery nose (just with a few problem kinks ironed out!).
Customized Implants
A very exciting development in rhinoplasty is the introduction of customized implants. These implants are made from biocompatible materials like Gore-Tex or silicone, and they can be tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
Using implants like this can provide a much more natural result than traditional implants. This is certainly a more natural looking result than not using implants at all.
Ultimately, no matter which techniques and methods you choose to discuss with your plastic surgeon, you can rest assured that rhinoplasty today is more successful and more advanced than at any other stage in cosmetic surgery history.
