Routine Precaution after Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgery, which has become very common these days. Rhinoplasty is not as complicated as other surgeries; it is the reshaping of nose. In today’s generation, people have become very conscious about their look, appearance and beauty. Not only the celebrities but also the common people are also undergoing this surgery, as looks have become important in both i.e. personal as well as professional level. There are among thousands of people in this world who have defective nose from their childhood or de-shaped due to accident. Rhinoplasty has proved to be the best solution for such people and I must say it is very easier and simple operation with short time recovery.
I am compiling few important precautions, which are to be taken care after surgery:
•    After surgery, elevate your head and shoulders on two or more pillows at least for the first week.
•    Do not sniff or blow your nose for around 15-20 days after surgery, as you might face the bleeding.
•    As after this surgery, the patients face swells and reddens for few days, it is necessary that he does not lift or bend heavy objects that results in enhanced swelling. Doctors too advise three weeks rest after this surgery.
•    Activities like running, aerobics or cycling could be very harmful and has not recommended up to four weeks post surgery by doctors.
•    Avoid hitting your nose for a month or so, after surgery.
•    Some sports like baseball, footy, etc. are also restricted up to eight weeks after the surgery as the bones take some time to heal properly.
•    If you have vomiting, nausea, breathing problem, etc. after medication. Please consult your doctor.
As “Health is Wealth”, I hope this article will help to remove the myths about rhinoplasty and might help the patients to take quick recovery after their nose job.

Otoplasty techniques demonstrates the deformity of ear along with the assessment and document lateralization of the auricle. This technique easily documents and demonstrate the asymmetry between the ears in their shape, size and position.

The best way to analyze the deformity of the ears is to take a preoperative photographs in standard frontal along with lateral and oblique positions that can easily used for the demonstration.

Otoplasty gives rise to unexpected and unrealistic contradictions in any patient. Therefore, it is suggested to patients to receive an appropriate preoperative counselling before going for the surgery procedure.

History tells that there may be some disorder rises sometime after the Otoplasty, possibly distorting other than this most of the time the surgery provides an excellent surgical results to the patients and they will be benefited.

The superfluous nature of fat deposition in women are more convenient for removal by liposuction causing the least discomfort to both the patient and surgeon.

Liposuction is also performed in men but the procedure is more complicated since most fat accumulates on the tummy and is not subcutaneous. Lipoplasty in males are performed for Gynecomastia or development of breasts in men.

Lipoplasty or liposuction can be performed by different methods depending upon the site where the procedure is to be done. The usual methods is Ultrasonic assisted liposuction. The procedure envisages the softening of the fat deposition by ultrasound followed by suction which removes the liquefied fat easily. Other methods includes Tumescent liposuction and Power assisted liposuction.

The risks associated with liposuction are many and can cause serious complication. It includes formation of stretch marks,hyper-pigmentation of the skin, puffiness, formation of loose skin. More serious complication include risk of secondary infections, fluid loss and dehydration,pulmonary embolism, accidental organ damage, excessive bleeding due to ligaturing of blood vessels etc. Other minor side effects commonly encountered include edema, numbness, burning sensation and itching.

In Lipoplasty the fat which gets deposited and is stubborn and does not shrink easily is called ‘diet resistance fat’ is removed by entering a cannula ( a hollow metal tube) into the fatty tissue, this technique is the most common one and it is known as liposuction. The most common places of these fat pockets are neck, chin buttocks, abdomen. thighs, hips, calves, ankles and sometimes even breast in both men and women. Lipoplasty is also done to remove the excess fat in the enlarged breast in males.

Pre operative questions from the patient are asked so that the main goal of the surgery could be understood and the surgeon is able to determine and achieve the expectations of the patient. The patient may be asked to look into the mirror and tell the surgeon exactly what parts of his or her body he or she would like to get improved. The medical history such as previous operations (surgeries), your past and present medicines allergies or decision about future pregnancies etc should be provided to the surgeon before the surgery. It is very important for both surgeons as well as for the patient. It is also very important to provide full information of the patient’s present and past treatments and present or past diseases like High blood pressure, High blood sugar (Diabetes), and thyroid problems etc. as these conditions can lead to some other complications, during or after the surgery.
