Rhinoplasty (Nose-Surgery)-Indianapolis, Indiana
If your nose does not match the proportions of your face, there is a loss of balance and harmony that may make you feel less attractive. If you are self-conscious about the appearance of your nose, a rhinoplasty may be the solution and Indianapolis board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joseph Fata can help.
A rhinoplasty, or nose-surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure in which the bones and cartilage of the nose are reshaped into a more attractive appearance that will complement your other facial features. Your rhinoplasty may include correcting a hump on the bridge of your nose, narrowing, shortening or lengthening your nose, or reshaping the tip of your nose.
Dr. Fata’s philosophy is that each person’s nose is unique and nose surgery is not a "one size fits all" procedure. Your nose-surgery will be designed so that you can achieve the most natural appearance.
Rhinoplasty Technique-Indianapolis, Indiana
Dr. Fata performs outpatient rhinoplasty, or nose-surgery, at the Carmel Surgery Center in Carmel, Indiana, near his Indianapolis, Indiana office. Dr. Fata usually recommends a general anesthesia for his patients’ comfort.
A rhinoplasty may be either “closed”, in which all incisions are inside the nose, or “open”, which adds a short incision across the skin between the nostrils. The type of rhinoplasty, or nose-surgery, and the specific changes that will be made during your rhinoplasty will be planned during your consultation with Dr. Fata at his Indianapolis, Indiana office.
Rhinoplasty Recovery-Indianapolis, Indiana
Discomfort is usually mild and easily relieved with medication. You will have an external dressing on your nose for one week and a small dressing inside your nose, which will be removed one day after your rhinoplasty.
You will experience some swelling and bruising, which begins improving on about the fourth day, and is mostly resolved within two weeks. Nose breathing is temporarily decreased because of swelling from your nose-surgery
Most patients take one week off from school or work, but it is possible to return sooner. Your only restrictions will be no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for two weeks, but contact sports should be avoided for at least six weeks.
Improvement can be seen the first week after your nose-surgery, and there will be a subtle, ongoing remodeling process that occurs over several months as your nose becomes more sculpted and refined. The final appearance is typically seen in one year.
