Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty surgery in Delhi is done to repair or reshape the nose. Some people opt for it in order to correct a structural/functional problem and some do it for cosmetic reasons or both. Rhinoplasty is also known as the nose job. A nose job performed at Dadu Medical Centre located in Delhi, Vasant Vihar (South Delhi), Rajouri Garden (West Delhi) by experienced surgeons can correct physical problems relating to your nose including breathing difficulties, birth defects, injuries, and any external damage. It can also be considered for cosmetic reasons like straightening of the crooked nose or to eliminate a hump or a dent on the bridge area of the nose. The surgery may involve a procedure called septoplasty, which corrects the bone and the cartilage between the nostrils.
There are many ways to perform the nose job, so it is always good to speak to your surgeon about it before actually undergoing the procedure. In most cases, it is performed on heavy sedation or general anesthesia. The surgeon will make a small incision inside the nostrils or through the base of your nose. Thereafter, the surgeon might cut away some bone and cartilage to reform your nose. He then replaces the skin and tissue over the cartilage and then stitches it up. A splint is placed outside the nose to keep it in shape at the time of healing. The splint and bandages are removed after a week’s time. The doctor takes the cartilage from inside the nose or ear or other parts of the body if more cartilage is needed during the surgery.
