Rhinoplasty | Nasal Plastic Surgery
Rhinoplasty, also referred to as “nasal surgery,” is a surgical procedure designed to modify the form, structure, size, or proportions of the nose. Rhinoplasty, or nasal reshaping, ranks among the most widely sought-after and prevalent plastic surgery interventions globally, with a heightened demand observed particularly among Iranians.
A significant number of individuals express dissatisfaction with the shape or size of their nasal structure. Given the nose’s fundamental role in establishing facial symmetry and harmony, patients strive to achieve enhanced aesthetic balance and proportion among their facial features. Often, they elect to undergo nose reshaping or nasal plastic surgery to attain a more aesthetically pleasing facial triangle. Some individuals seek alterations to the nasal shape and contour that do not exhibit any marked association with other facial components. Of course, everyone wishes to have a small, natural-looking nose with an elevated bridge. However, the primary consideration lies in achieving proportional harmony among the various facial elements, which constitutes the essence of beauty.

The surgeon can adjust and reduce the central nasal structure, known as the septum, to help reduce the size of the nasal tip and overall length of the nose. Concurrently, correcting the cartilage of the nasal tip also contributes to the shaping and length reduction of the nose.
Post-Rhinoplasty Instructions | Nasal Plastic Surgery
1. It is advisable to rest for 48 hours following the surgery.
2. Sleep in supine position with your head elevated and use multiple pillows to keep your head higher than your neck.
3. Take care of the nasal cast or splint.
4. Showering is permissible after the surgery as long as the face doesn’t get completely wet, the patient is in a balanced state, and not experiencing dizziness. However, complete bathing should not be done until the external splint is removed, as getting wet and the splint remaining damp can compromise its functionality and potentially affect the shape of the nasal cavities and blade.
5. Washing the face should be done in a way that water does not directly contact the nose. The rest of the face should be washed with caution.
6. The use of cold compresses on the nose and under the eyes is mandatory for 24 hours after the surgery. This helps control swelling and bruising. Apply the compress for twenty minutes at a time and remove for a quarter. Repeat this process until bedtime.
7. Consuming soft and liquid foods such as meat broth and cool fluids is necessary for the first 24 hours after the surgery.
8. Avoid keeping your head down and engaging in physical activities for 72 hours after the nasal surgery.
9. Avoid engaging in strenuous exercises that exert pressure on the head and face area for two months. However, light or gentle exercises are permissible from the third week after the surgery.
10. Prevent nasal aerobic changes, and if necessary, sneeze or cough with an open mouth.
Nasal polyps are soft tissue masses inside the nasal lining that usually do not cause pain or noticeable symptoms. However, if left untreated, they can grow larger and obstruct the patient’s airways, causing breathing difficulties or block it.
The symptoms of nasal polyps are typically similar to those of a common cold. However, a cold typically resolves within a few days, whereas nasal polyps do not improve unless treated. It is possible for the polyps to affect the patient’s sinus cavities, leading to symptoms of sinusitis.
