The nose has a fundamental importance both from the aesthetic and functional point of view, characterizing the lineaments of the face
and acting as a filter for humidification and adaptation to the intracorporeal temperature of the inhaled air.

Pre-operative Evaluation

During the pre-operative consult are carefully evaluated the proportions of the face and the functional appraisal, in fact to the operation
of rhinoplasty can be associated, in case of an eventual respiratory alteration, also a septorhinoplasty.
In the pre-operative talks are also estimated the type of anaesthesia (local or general in relation to the entity of the previewed
operation), and the necessity of hospitalization, together with a better acquaintance of the real expectations of the patient..

Operation

The reshaping of the nose is done through an incision inside the nostrils, without therefore leaving external scars.
We can act on the skeletal and cartilaginous structures to correct imperfection of the tip (that can be raised, shortened or reduced of
volume) or of the back, that can be thinned, straightened or lowered according to necessities.

Post-operative course

Rhinoplasty surgery is not painful, the only disadvantage is that for one or two days the nostrils are closed by pads and the patient breaths with the mouth. The nose is protected by a small chalk shell that will be removed after one week. During the post-operative period can be present swelling of the eyelids which will progressively disappear after few days. After the
surgery, long exposure to the sun and to cold weather are advised for about a month.

Checking controls

Cheking Controls are planned after one month and after 5/6 months in order to verify the good consolidation of the structures.
