Rhinoplasty is a medical procedure performed by ENT doctors that is more commonly referred to as nose surgery. It is often performed by London ENT Surgeons to treat a variety of medical conditions. Certain rhinoplasty procedures have been designed by ENT doctors to assist individuals in breathing better or in looking more attractive. There are two basic procedures performed by ENT Specialists as well as several different styles of nose surgery.
A skilled ENT Surgeon performs open rhinoplasty during complicated procedures since it provides a clearer view of the internal nasal structure. During this particular style of nose surgery, the ENT Surgeon makes a small slit at the base of the nose (columella), allowing the ENT doctor to peel back the skin of the nose. This procedure leads to a small scar where the ENT doctor has made the incision. Open rhinoplasty is most often chosen by London ENT Specialists for patients who are having nose surgery to correct injuries or breathing difficulties.
This type of nose surgery requires all incisions to occur within the internal portion of the nose, eliminating the chance of external scarring. Typically, an ENT Specialist trained in facial plastic surgery performs the procedure since it is commonly used during cosmetic nose surgery procedures. Quite often, London ENT Specialists choose to perform closed rhinoplasty on first-time patients to minimize external scarring. The ENT Surgeon determines the advisability of using closed versus open rhinoplasty.
In London, three basic styles of rhinoplasty are utilized by ENT Surgeons including cosmetic, septo, and corrective procedures.
Performed by an ENT Surgeon who specializes in facial plastic surgery, cosmetic rhinoplasty is intended to modify the shape or size of the patient’s nose in order to enhance his physical appearance/attractiveness. In London, cosmetic nose surgery is an elective surgical procedure. This type of rhinoplasty is usually performed by an ENT Surgeon at the patient’s request to redesign the look of the nose by reducing its size, removing a hump, or modifying the shape of the nostrils. ENT Specialists often perform this style of nose surgery on patients who are undergoing removal of skin cancer on the nose in order to minimize the amount of scarring.
Septo rhinoplasty involves the reconstruction of a patient’s nose by an ENT Surgeon. This nose surgery procedure is intended to modify an individual’s nasal structure in order to correct breathing difficulties. Typically, ENT Surgeons perform this style of nose surgery to widen the nostrils and/or to reshape the nose. A skilled ENT Specialist should perform this method of rhinoplasty for the best results. ENT doctors perform septo rhinoplasty to reconstruct the nose to improve its functioning capacity.
Performed by an ENT Specialist, corrective nose surgery involves the repair of fractured or broken bones within the nasal structure. The most common uses of this type of corrective rhinoplasty by ENT doctors in London involve the straightening of a broken nose by an Ear nose and throat doctor or modifications to the nose to facilitate sinus drainage. This procedure is also used by London ENT doctors to repair an improperly-formed nose, treat cancer, or remove polyps. An ENT Surgeon may use corrective nose surgery to correct a birth defect relating to the nose.
Patients who are experiencing difficulties breathing, have discovered lumps on their noses, or have skin cancer on their noses should consult an ENT Specialist about whether or not they need rhinoplasty. Individuals who have suffered a broken nose often need the services of an ear nose and throat doctor to properly straighten the nose. People who wish to make their facial features more attractive by modifying the shape or size of their nose often choose to consult an ENT doctor about elective nose surgery.
Since a skilled ENT Surgeon has the skills and expertise to complete this intricate procedure, he should perform the rhinoplasty. ENT Specialists receive years of training that enable them to successfully use rhinoplasty to treat a varied assortment of conditions. With complicated nose surgery procedures, more than one ENT Surgeon may be involved.
Typically, the side effects of rhinoplasty performed by a skilled ENT Surgeon are minimal. Some mild bruising and slight discomfort typically occurs, but neither condition lasts long. The most common difficulty associated with a nose surgery procedure is the inability to wear eyeglasses directly on the nose for as long as seven weeks. Patients who wear glasses may need to tape their glasses to the forehead or find another method of keeping them from touching the nose. Your ENT Specialist will inform you of potential side effects prior to completing your rhinoplasty procedure.
In London, nose surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure at the ENT Surgeon’s office or an outpatient facility staffed by ENT Specialists in London. The patient receives either general or local anesthesia before and during the rhinoplasty procedure according to the ENT doctor’s specifications. The London ENT Specialist will probably recommend that the patient have someone transport him home, since he may feel a bit woozy. In complicated cases or when the nose surgery is performed by an ENT doctor as only one component of a patient’s treatment, hospitalization may be required and suggested by the ENT Surgeon.
An ENT Specialist makes a thorough assessment of the patient’s nasal structure as well as the underlying reason for the nose surgery. The ENT doctor then prepares a treatment plan, taking into consideration the intricacy of the rhinoplasty procedure. The success of the nose surgery relies, in part, on a proper evaluation by an ENT doctor of the patient’s condition and nasal structure. The nose involves an intricate combination of parts that function together as a whole. Changing any of these parts affects the rest of the nose, hence the need for a thorough evaluation by a trained ENT Surgeon.
After your rhinoplasty procedure has taken place, you will be given the ENT Surgeon’s list of post-operative guidelines. You should follow your ENT doctor’s instructions carefully to encourage the healing process. A follow up appointment with your ENT Surgeon is scheduled to remove stitches and evaluate your progress.
Individuals who are considering elective nose surgery should make the decision carefully after a consultation with an ENT Specialist. Since the face is the primary focal point of a person when other individuals look at her, it is important to consult with your ear nose and throat doctor about the consequences of receiving elective nose surgery. Once the nose has been reshaped by an ENT doctor, the results transform an individual’s appearance. Your ENT Specialist can guide you in determining whether or not you are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty procedure.
A qualified ENT Surgeon can discuss the safety of the particular nose surgery procedure that a patient is to receive. Lengthier, more-invasive procedures typically carry a higher risk than less-invasive nose surgery performed by an ear nose and throat doctor. However, modern advances and the exceptional skills of ENT Surgeons have transformed nose surgery into a minimally invasive procedure with relatively little risk.
Since patients receive either local or general anesthesia, no pain is felt during a rhinoplasty procedure performed by a qualified ENT doctor. Typically, a mild sensation of tugging along with the slight discomfort associated with bruising and having undergone a nose surgery procedure occurs. Any concerns should be discussed with your ear nose and throat doctor.
In general, the procedure for nose surgery takes between one and two hours if the ENT Surgeon does not encounter any complications. In more serious cases in which extensive work or a more complicated rhinoplasty procedure is needed, nose surgery may take two to three hours. Procedures involving more than one ENT Surgeon may take longer.
Individuals experiencing persistent sinus infections may be good candidates for nose surgery if treatment with medications has not successfully treated the problem. A consultation with an ENT Specialist is the best way to determine this
Individuals who are experiencing difficulty breathing, hearing, or swallowing should see an ear nose and throat doctor in order to get an accurate diagnosis of their problem. Anyone who is experiencing chronic sore throats, constriction in the throat, or chronic pain should visit an ENT Specialist for evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of the problem. Individuals who are experiencing ringing or pain in the ears should seek the services of an ENT doctor to obtain a proper assessment as to the cause of his problem. If a person has a lump, stiffness of the neck, or other medical issues related to the ears, nose, throat, mouth, neck, or head, a visit with an experienced ENT Specialist is merited.
ENT Specialists treating patients who are experiencing any one of a variety of sleep disorders (heavy breathing, abnormal breathing patterns, sleep apnea) may suggest certain life style changes including the use of a breathing mask at night. If this does not correct the situation, the ENT doctor may recommend a surgical treatment known as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
An ENT Surgeon conducts biopsies on lumps and masses located within the neck area. If cancerous, the ENT doctor performs neck surgery to remove the cancer. A treatment plan is created as follow-up care for the patient. Neck surgery is also performed when tonsillitis occurs. Common forms of neck surgery include: parotidectomy, branchial cyst excisions, tonsillectomy, submandibular gland excisions, and thyroglossal cyst excisions.
Due to modern advances in medical procedures, ENT Specialists perform most nose surgery using minimally-invasive surgical lasers and thin fiberoptic tubes that create little scarring. The use of such modern equipment by London ENT Surgeons leads to a shorter recovery time as well as less post-operative pain.
On average, recuperation from nose surgery performed by a skilled ENT doctor takes approximately six to seven days. However, with some complicated cases, the recovery time may take slightly longer. Typically, the ear nose and throat doctor removes the patient’s bandages six days after the nose surgery has taken place. Depending on the specific reasons behind the nose surgery procedure performed by the ENT doctor, the full results may not be visible until a full year has passed. Your ENT doctor can answer this question more fully as the recovery time varies according to the specific type of nose surgery that has been performed.
If no complications arise when the ENT doctor performs the surgery and the desired results were achieved, the procedure should be considered successful. Your ENT Specialist will have more information to provide on this.
Initially, the patient will have signs of bruising that dissipate during the first week of recovery from his nose surgery. This is quite normal and should be expected in all nose surgery procedures. When an open rhinoplasty procedure is used by the ENT Surgeon, a small scar at the bottom of the nose between the nostrils will occur. When the ENT Surgeon uses the closed rhinoplasty procedure, no external scars are visible, although the patient may have small scars on the interior of the nose.
Also referred to as an ENT Surgeon, ENT doctor, or an ear nose and throat doctor, an ENT Specialist has been trained to diagnose as well as provide treatment for problems/diseases relating to the ears, nose, larynx, mouth, and throat of a patient. The average ENT Specialist has received a total of fifteen to sixteen years of training as an ear nose and throat doctor. A large part of the ENT Specialist’s practice involves rhinoplasty or nose surgery.
