The rhinoplasty is among the most aesthetic procedures performed in recent years, competing including the breast lift augmentation, called silicone all they are made by a process called cirurgia plastica. However, you may not yet know exactly what this procedure is or how it works. So, this post comes as a complete and easy guide to understand everything about rhinoplasty once and for all. Are you curious? So, come with me!   What is rhinoplasty?   To begin with, the time has come to define what this surgery is about. Thus, rhinoplasty is the procedure that focuses on making an aesthetic correction to the nose. Generally, the most common goal is to remove that curved or lump in the upper part, leaving the nose slightly upturned. However, the possibilities are many.  In rhinoplasty, you can increase or decrease the dimensions of the nose, make the tip thinner or increase the projection, reduce the nasal wings, which is where the air comes out, among others. Even though it has gained some notoriety in recent years, as the number of procedures has increased, this plastic surgery is quite old. Apparently, the first aesthetic procedures on the nose were performed in the late 19th century, being very different and less safe than it is today. The procedure can be performed open, in the structure of the nose, or closed, which is from the inside.   It is important to say that rhinoplasty can have only an aesthetic function, but also a functional one, improving breathing and even avoiding excessive snoring.   Rhinoplasty before and after   Contrary to what you might imagine, rhinoplasty is a procedure that is very popular with men, mainly due to the aesthetic changes of masculinity in recent years. To understand male rhinoplasty, it is necessary to know that these are different harmonic features, guaranteeing a natural effect.  With that in mind, the main characteristics that male rhinoplasty follows include:  - Nose in greater proportion; - The back of the male nose is more straight; - The tip has a rotation between 40 and 95 degrees. In summary, male rhinoplasty must prevent the organ from becoming too thin or upturned, ensuring the desired aspect and preventing it from appearing false. Most of the cases of male rhinoplasty are for the correction of birth defects, due to the breakdown of the organ as well as respiratory problems. The purely aesthetic issue, on the other hand, is gradually growing. In relation to before and after, you can expect that you breathe better or normally, snore less, have a visually natural and more harmonious, and beautiful nose. Female rhinoplasty - Before and after When it comes to plastic surgery, women are still the ones who lead the ranking and with rhinoplasty, it couldn't be different. Most of the cases of female rhinoplasty consist of making the back of the nose more harmonious, removing that lump, at the same time that it rips the tip of the organ more. In addition, minor repairs are also common, such as thinning the nose or reducing the nasal wings. Often, women have a more delicate face and lines, being less striking than men and, therefore, following different aesthetics. Thus, the main characteristics of female rhinoplasty include - Lower proportion of the nose; - Nasal back more angulated; - Tip with rotation from 95 to 105 degrees. In this way, you guarantee a more visually harmonious and delicate nose, according to your face, ensuring a more aesthetically beautiful look. Rhinoplasty price As with most plastic surgeries, the price of rhinoplasty can vary widely depending on the doctor and clinic in which the procedure is performed. According to the most recent data, both male and female rhinoplasty can vary from R $ 9 thousand to R $ 19 thousand. Values ​​lower than this should be questioned since there are several unqualified professionals who take risks in practice and can compromise their health and aesthetics. It is relevant to say that patients who have functional problems, such as the deviated septum, will have to pay a little more than that. Generally, clinics work with surcharges, so how much a rhinoplasty costs can vary according to the procedures that will be performed. Postoperative rhinoplasty and recovery Care for rhinoplasty begins before you get on the table and includes a series of tests to allow the procedure to be authorized, as well as an eight-hour fast and even the suspension of some drugs, such as anticoagulants. Knowing this, know that the postoperative period is not fast. The nose is one of the regions of the body that takes time to deflate as well as healing is slower. Thus, the medical recommendation is total rest for at least seven days, in addition to keeping your head high at all times. As it is a delicate area and close to the mouth, it is recommended to eat only cold foods in the first days after surgery as well as foods that are easier to chew. In the case of swelling, the answer is to wait for healing. Basic care for faster recovery involves the cold compress in the area, as well as in the eyes, and also physiotherapy. In some cases, the surgeon may also recommend facial lymphatic drainage to help reduce swelling, which improves tissue healing. As the entire area suffers from the procedure, it is quite common for the region under the eyes and near the nose to turn purple. It may be difficult to breathe in the first days, mainly due to the splint, but this usually improves after four or five days, as it does not compromise the patient's breathing and vital health. In most cases, discomfort is associated with the use of a splint and bandages, less nasal wing to breathe, and mild pain. Still, the use of anti-inflammatory drugs is recommended.   Other recommendations for recovery and post-operative   In addition to what has already been mentioned, there are other precautions that are extremely important and should be followed in the letter. For example, you should not be exposed to the sun, as this increases the swelling and makes healing difficult, in addition to being a possibility for the appearance of spots on the skin. At the same time, always pass protectors and stay in covered places and away from the fog. For four weeks, all physical activity should be suspended from your schedule. After this period, talk to your doctor, and light and short exercises can be released. Activities that can result in nasal trauma, however, are postponed for at least two months.  When is it possible to see the result of the surgery?  work within one to two weeks, but the deadline must be evaluated together with the professional who performs and monitors your case.  According to experts, it is possible to notice the first changes within a few months, but the final result is obtained after at least one year. Due to slow healing and recovery, a nose can take up to three years for all tissues to be fully accommodated again.   Rinoplasty RJ   If you are from Rio de Janeiro or live close to the state, one of the prominent surgeons in the area when it comes to plastic surgery is Dr. Adriano Medeiros.  Who is Adriano Medeiros?  The plastic surgeon was born in September 1977 in Rio de Janeiro, where he still resides.
