La Rhinoplasty (name of the cosmetic surgery operation that modifies the appearance of the nose) can be performed in two ways: conventionally, or using a structural technique.
In both cases, the intervention may affect the hard part of the nose (bone and cartilage) and/or the soft covering of the nose (the skin that covers this organ).
Conventional nose surgery: characteristics
Rhinoplasty operations usually have, as main objective, reduce the size of this part of the face.
In order to carry out this surgical intervention, an incision is made in the nasal mucosa. The skin is then peeled off, excess bone and cartilage are removed from the back of the nose, and the cartilages at the tip of the nose are reshaped.
Sometimes, if the bones have separated when redefining the nasal dorsum, they must be broken and brought together to achieve better nasal functionality. All this, in addition, will ensure that the final appearance is as harmonious as possible.
However, this work does not always achieve the results obtained, as the skin tissues in this area contract over time, making the nose look different than it did when the operation was completed.
Structural rhinoplasty: features and advantages
Structural rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure whose main purpose is to improve the shape and function of a person's nose. It is therefore an upgrade to conventional rhinoplasty.
To achieve this, structural rhinoplasty maintains the tissues of the nose and intervenes on the nasal septum of the person, which allows work to be done on this organ of the respiratory system in its entirety and not just on its external appearance. In other words, it allows the remodeling of the tip of nose, remove a ridge, narrow noses that are too wide, correct deviations of the nasal septum or eliminate possible respiratory problems, among others.
The main advantages of ultrasonic rhinoplasty structural that performs the Dr. Gustavo Sordo at their Plastic surgery clinic in Madrid
- During the operation, a hard frame is created on which the skin will contract and adapt from the first minute after the operation, making the final shape desired by the patient appear. This prevents the skin of the nose, which contracts and adapts over time, from taking on the appearance of a pointed nose with a sloping back and an upward-turned tip, a typical result of traditional rhinoplasty procedures.
- The incisions made in structural rhinoplasty are small and are located in the column of skin and cartilage (the columella). Therefore, the scars are practically imperceptible once they have matured.
- It is a operation that lasts about two hours and general anesthesia is used, so it is performed with total comfort for the patient.
Ultimately, the Structural rhinoplasty is an improvement on the traditional surgical operations have been carried out in this area of the face.
