In the next visit, you should show the results of the tests and analyzes to the doctor so that he can plan your operation.

Taking some herbal or chemical drugs may increase bleeding, deficiency or swelling caused by the procedure; For this reason, their use should be stopped before surgery.
Fancy nose surgery in the operating room
The type of anesthesia (general or local anesthesia) is chosen according to the opinion of the surgeon, your preference and the time required for the operation. Usually, many changes must be made on the nose in the fancy nose operation; For this reason, the time required for surgery is longer and general anesthesia is preferred.

Types of fancy nose surgery in the operating room
After making the desired corrections and finishing the operation, the surgeon stitches the incisions. Usually, a supportive splint is used to maintain the shape, and then the nose is cast. After the operation, you will be transferred to the recovery room to wear off the anesthesia. Usually, those who have a fancy nose job have to spend one night in the hospital and are discharged the next day.
Fancy fleshy nose job
To shrink this type of nose, cartilage, fat and excess tissue must be removed. In the operation of fleshy nose fantasy, the possibility of needing to file or even break and reconstruct the nasal bone is very low. In order to make the nostrils smaller, incisions are made, which you can see in the picture below. After the corrections, a silicone implant or cartilage graft is used to strengthen the base of the nose. The cartilage used for transplantation is usually taken from the back of the ear and transplanted to the nose.
Fancy bone type nose surgery
In bony rhinoplasty, the bone is broken in a controlled manner to thin the blade. After this, according to the three-dimensional analysis, the nasal bone is reconstructed. Sometimes, the surgeon uses silicone implants to stabilize the nasal arch. If there is a drop in the tip of the nose, the extra skin and cartilage are removed using an incision.
Care after doll rhinoplasty
It is better to take care of the following in order to prevent sagging and changing the shape of the nose after doll surgery. By observing these things, the period after your nose surgery will be less difficult.
- Do not wash your face or go to the bathroom until the cast is removed and the stitches are removed.
- Five to six days after the operation, visit your surgeon to check the condition of the nose, remove the plaster and remove the stitches.
- Before removing the plaster and bandage, you can use a cold compress only on your cheeks to reduce swelling.
- If you develop bloody or green sputum in your nose and mouth, be sure to see a surgeon.
- Take your prescribed antibiotics as directed.
- If your doctor has prescribed blood thinners, be sure to take them.
- Avoid aerobic exercise, bodybuilding, and lifting heavy weights until your surgeon gives you permission.
Recovery period after doll nose surgery
The recovery period for fancy nose surgery is usually one month; But it may be longer due to certain medical conditions. A fancy nose is more prone to bleeding, bruising and swelling. Minor bleeding is normal in the first week; But if it increases, your condition should be checked by a surgeon. To reduce bleeding, surgeons recommend that you place your head higher than your heart while sleeping. This also reduces inflation.
You should use a cold compress to reduce facial swelling and bruising during the recovery period. This will eliminate the created swelling well. Because of the incision between the nose and the lip, those who have a fancy nose job may have a heavy feeling in their upper lip for the first few weeks and it may be difficult for them to laugh. This situation will be resolved over time.
Soft tissue, cartilage and bone must be removed from the nose to create a delicate doll shape. Removing these parts increases the risk of the nose collapsing in this operation and makes it less likely to be corrected in reconstructive surgery.
Due to the high sensitivity of this operation, be sure to be careful in choosing your surgeon. As we said, surgeons with otolaryngology expertise are more capable of performing this operation. Dr. Benyamin Rahmati, experienced and skilled in fantasy nose surgery, is one of the otolaryngology surgeons who you can get help from to have a doll nose model.
