Who is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
If you are unhappy with your nasal structure, facial features, or nasal passages, a rhinoplasty may be able to help. This procedure can also improve breathing problems that result from a deviated septum or obstructed airway. Ideal candidates will be healthy, non-smokers who have realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure.
During your consultation, experienced surgeon Dr. Prysi will examine your nose and create a unique plan of action to create facial balance and redefine the nasal bone. He will also explain the rhinoplasty procedure in detail so you are fully aware of the surgical procedures and recovery period. Be sure to inform Dr. Prysi of your medical history and any previous surgery.
The Rhinoplasty Procedure
With years of experience in reconstructive surgery, Dr. Prysi has mastered the intricate and delicate nature of the nose job, helping to restore the confidence of many patients who feel self-conscious about their facial features. His sense of balance, symmetry, nasal form, and facial harmony is showcased in his patients’ beautiful and natural results.
Rhinoplasty surgery is an outpatient procedure that can be performed using either the “open” or “closed” approach. During an open rhinoplasty, Dr. Prysi makes an incision across the small strip of skin separating your nostrils. During a closed rhinoplasty, Dr. Prysi makes surgical incisions within your nostrils. He separates the skin from the nasal tissues to access the underlying bone and cartilage in your nose. Then, Dr. Prysi makes the necessary modifications to your nose, such as removing excess cartilage, adding cartilage, reshaping the nasal septum, or smoothing a bump on the nasal dorsum. When he is finished, Dr. Prysi closes the incisions with sutures.
Recovering from Rhinoplasty
After the surgical procedure, you can expect swelling, minor bruising, and a sore nose. You will need to rest with your head elevated and refrain from strenuous activity or anything which could cause traumatic injury (e.g., sports, exercise) to your healing nose. Surgical packing will be placed in your nose for a day, and a splint with skin-covering bandages may be worn for about a week to ensure optimal healing and minimize swelling. Dr. Prysi will supply you with instructions on how to care for your nose; he will also meet with you for several follow-up appointments at his Naples office to check your healing progress. If you have any questions or unusual symptoms during the rhinoplasty recovery stage, Dr. Prysi is available to speak with you.
Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is a slow healing procedure, so it can take up to a year for all the swelling to completely disappear. Rhinoplasty results are permanent, so you can enjoy your new, more proportionate nose long-term.
