Preparing For Your Rhinoplasty
The nose is a prominent facial feature and differs greatly from person to person. It may be the focus of powerful feelings and can incorporate significant ethnic features. Dr. Pugash will discuss with you your areas of concern and your surgical goals. The preoperative discussions may include a computer simulation to help develop the operative plan.
There are many techniques for rhinoplasty surgery. Dr. Pugash will review these with you, and suggest those that will give you the best result. Rhinoplasty is sometimes combined with other procedures such as chin augmentation to improve the overall result.
Nose Surgery in Vancouver
Dr. Eric Pugash usually performs rhinoplasty at his Vancouver plastic surgery facilities as an outpatient procedure. The surgery may involve removing a prominent hump, narrowing the nose, refining the tip, reducing the nostrils and working inside the nose to improve breathing.
At the end of the operation a small splint is placed on the nose. Many patients will develop a good deal of swelling and bruising around the eyes. The splint is removed one week after surgery. Most of the bruising and swelling are gone by 2 to 2 1/2 weeks after surgery. At this time most of Dr. Pugash’s Vancouver nose surgery patients are able to resume social activities and light exercise.
Complications and Risks
Although complications after rhinoplasty are rare, the risk of side effects cannot be eliminated completely. Possible complications include reactions to the anesthetic, infection, bleeding, poor scarring, changes in skin colour and a reduction in nasal breathing. Aesthetic complications are the most common: too much tissue, or not enough, has been removed, there are bumps, or the nose is not straight. Many of the aesthetic complications can be resolved through secondary nose surgery.
After Your Nose Surgery
The final results of a rhinoplasty often are not apparent for a year or longer, as the skin and other soft tissues settle over the new bone and cartilage framework created by Dr. Pugash. During the recovery period, Dr. Pugash asks his rhinoplasty Vancouver patients to return to his offices for regular follow-up appointments to ensure that the nose is healing properly and patients are satisfied with their results.
Dr. Eric Pugash is dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible nose surgery results, and he will work closely with you for an extended period of time to help you realize your aesthetic goals.
