WHATS IS?
This surgery in expert hands is a very simple procedure that will bring you great satisfaction. The nasal anatomy has the same structural elements for each nose, but is different in size and design, thus its wide variety of shapes and appearances. If it is a large nose all the visual attention will be on it, but if it is very small it goes unnoticed.
For Dr. Piletti it is important to analyze all the facial structures and look for greater harmony between them. The ears, chin, cheeks, cheekbones, and lips must be in balance for the best aesthetic balance of the face.
HOW IT IS PERFORMED?
The nose is the center of the face and a good result completely changes the expression, personality, and beauty of the patient. Anatomically the nose has multiple elements whose correct manipulation will give splendid results.
For the modeling of the nose, we have always been inclined to use the patient's own tissues such as the cartilage of the ear or the rib, rather than manufactured implants that can be rejected. Natural materials will provide natural results.
Pain
This operation is not painful, only a small percentage of patients experience slight pain.
Sutures
Usually there are only about four small internal spots that will either be removed on the 6th day or they will fall off on their own.
Bandage
The use of adhesives is very important, their purpose is to reduce swelling and maintain results. You must wear a bandage for at least one month after surgery.
Bruising
They occur to a greater or lesser degree in all patients. We reduce swelling through a diet and naturopathic medications prior to surgery and with the use of anti-inflammatories afterwards.
Wounds
It can be a closed rhinoplasty through small internal wounds or open is when those internal wounds are joined through a small wound in the spine that separates the two nostrils and always disappears.
Results
You will be able to see results the same day that the cast or bandage is removed after surgery but the nose will progressively deflate until you see the final result from the 4th to 6th postoperative month.
