When a person really wants to change his appearance for the better, he resorts to all sorts of methods. Among them is rhinoplasty. But the problem is that after any surgical intervention are possible. Rarely develops callus after rhinoplasty.

What is a callus?

The human body after any intervention from the outside compensates and creates a margin of safety. In the case of rhinoplasty, a callus develops in the place where the bone fibers were damaged. There is an excessive growth of tissue, which is why the nose after the operation may seem even larger than before. Approximately 12% of people who have undergone rhinoplasty are affected by this. Approximately 30% of them again go under the knife to eliminate the deficiencies that have arisen, including overgrown tissues.

RHINOPLASTY WITHOUT SURGERY

Plastic surgeon, Pavlov E.A.:

Hello, my name is Evgeny Pavlov, and I am a leading plastic surgeon at a well-known Moscow clinic.

My medical experience is over 15 years. Every year I do hundreds of operations, for which people are willing to pay HUGE money. Unfortunately, many do not suspect that in 90% of cases, surgery is not required! modern medicine has long allowed us to correct most of the flaws in appearance without the help of plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery carefully hides many non-surgical methods of appearance correction. I talked about one of them, check out this method

Bone callus should not be confused with the classical one, since it is not a coarsened derivative of soft tissues. A callus is an increase in bone tissue that has developed as a result of improper fusion of the injury site. This process, despite its deviation from the norm, is natural and allows the bones to grow together after any injuries and damage.

In fact, this phenomenon is quite rare, but a similar problem can affect literally anyone. And the fact is that even a doctor cannot predict how each specific organism will react to the operation. Therefore, the doctor is not to blame for this side effect.

This complication does not belong to the category of those diseases that are life-threatening. But to prevent the development of callus after rhinoplasty, it is necessary to take a number of preventive measures. If it has already begun to develop, then a timely appeal to the surgeon with the subsequent adoption of measures can, if not eliminate it, then prevent excessive growth. It will also avoid soreness of the zone and serious health consequences.

Causes

The nose in its anatomical content is represented by three types of tissues:

• soft;
• cartilaginous;
• Bone.

During rhinoplasty, a portion of any of these tissues is removed. Since any operation associated with the correction of the nose damages its internal structures, the body begins to react in a standard way - it turns on its defense mechanisms. Bone tissue has its own characteristics of structure regeneration. This process consists of three stages:

1. Connective tissue forms around the damaged tissue.
2. The finest fibers of bone tissue begin to form.
3. Further, the formed fibers are replaced and subjected to hardening. This happens due to calcifications.

It is because of this last process that an increase in callus after rhinoplasty occurs at the site of surgical exposure. It is usually small. The most frequent formation of this defect is observed after grinding, removal of bone tissue.

Subject: Corrected the nose

From: Catherine S. (ekary*** [email protected])

To: Site Administration

Hello! My name is Ekaterina S., I want to express my gratitude to you and your site.

Finally, I was able to change the shape of my nose. Now I am very pleased with my face and no longer complex.

And here is my story

From the age of 15, I began to notice that my nose was not as I would like, there was not a big hump and wide wings. By the age of 30, the nose had grown even more and became quite a “potato”, I was terribly complex about this and even wanted to have an operation, but the prices are simply cosmic for this procedure.

Everything changed when a friend gave me one to read. You have no idea how grateful I am to her. This article literally gave me a second life. Within a few months, my nose became almost perfect: the wings narrowed noticeably, the hump smoothed out and even the tip slightly rose.

Now I do not complex about my appearance at all. And I'm not even shy about meeting new men, you know))

The size of the build-up depends on how severe the injury was to the bones, as well as how much the cartilage and soft tissues were damaged during the operation. The rate and intensity of growth directly depends on how a particular organism will react to such an intervention, as well as how quickly and actively the regeneration process will take place.

There is an opinion that callus after rhinoplasty also occurs in cases where a doctor with insufficient experience performed the operation. That is, its growth is associated precisely with medical practice and their secrets, developments in this area. But in fact, if your body is prone to intensive regeneration of bone tissue, then no experience will insure you against a possible complication, which is represented by two types of cells: endosteum and bone-forming cells in the periosteum.

This type of bone tissue is formed for about a year. Therefore, at the very first prerequisites, it is worth contacting your surgeon, who knows how to reduce the intensity of the process and direct it in the right direction. The callus after rhinoplasty in the photo will help you understand what this defect looks like. In most cases, this is the appearance of a hump. Note that if during the operation the bone tissue was not affected, then the complication does not appear.

How to remove callus after rhinoplasty?

When bone tissue grows on the nose, it appears to be several types at once. Among the manifestations of this defect are:

• The appearance of a hump;
• The subsequent deformation of the nome, and the change can be perfectly seen in full face;
• Puffiness.

Naturally, such manifestations of beauty do not add and dissatisfaction with the results of the operation appears. These phenomena worsen the aesthetics of facial features. With a strong severity of the defect that has arisen, it will be necessary to carry out repeated rhinoplasty to remove bone tissue at the site of the growth.

The manifestation of the first symptoms makes patients very nervous and seek medical advice. At the same time, there is a fear of re-rhinoplasty. Note that this is very rare. First, the patient should try out preventive measures that help to cope with the problem for most people operated on in this area.

Stories from our readers

Corrected the shape of the nose at home! It's been half a year since I forgot what a hump of the nose is. Although in society it is generally accepted that appearance is not the main thing for a man, but I really did not like my nose. In addition, I also work in a field where appearance matters, I work as a wedding host.

Oh, how many consultations I attended in total - all the doctors called exorbitant prices and talked about a long rehabilitation, but for me this does not suit me at all because weddings go on all the time, especially during the season. Once I got an appointment with Dr. Pavlov E.A. He told me that in my case it is quite possible to do without surgery, it is enough to wear a special proofreader every day. Here is an article in which he describes this method in detail. I obediently wore the corrector every day for several months and was amazed at the result, judge for yourself. In the end, I am very glad that I was able to get by with "little blood"

If you have the same problems with finances or do not want to go under the knife, then I recommend that you read this article.

By the way, the doctor can advise some of the measures even before the operation. Therefore, carefully follow his wishes and instructions. But the main measures, of course, fall precisely on. During this time, you should visit the surgeon at least five times so that he controls the regeneration process and can notice certain changes in the process of tissue healing in time.

Secondary correction is prescribed, as mentioned above, by about 30% of the total number of people with complications of this type. First, the doctor must view the picture in detail and study the features of the process. During the operation, special measures are taken by the doctor, taking into account the characteristics of the human body. This helps to prevent the growth of bone tissue a second time.

What do we have to do?

Certain measures are mandatory at the first signs of callus after rhinoplasty. First of all, you must:

• Visit a doctor. In general, even under normal circumstances, visits are required in the first, second, third, sixth and twelfth months after surgery. In case of force majeure, you can make an additional visit. If a deviation is detected, the doctor will prescribe treatment.
• If the doctor has prescribed treatment, then you must follow it strictly and strictly according to the schedule. Otherwise, therapy may simply not give the desired result and it is not worth blaming the doctor's abilities in such cases.
• Tissue hypergrowth affects people under 18 years of age. Therefore, they are not recommended to do surgery. This is explained by the fact that the body continues to develop, and with it the tissues. With this type of intervention, removing one defect, there is a risk of getting much bigger problems. The readiness of the patient for surgery is determined only by the plastic surgeon. Experienced in case of non-compliance with the conditions for the operation will refuse. In such cases, we do not recommend looking for someone else who will allow it.

Diagnosis and treatment

Before asking how to remove a callus after rhinoplasty, it must first be confirmed. This is done with the help of an x-ray, which shows the presence or absence of a defect. Already starting from it, the doctor must build a tactic for conducting therapy. In the picture, the defect manifests itself as a special shell located at the site of tissue damage.

Now about what to do to fix the defect. The rehabilitation process is quite long. The main goal of therapy is to prevent further tissue growth. There are a number of techniques and procedures that help to cope with this defect. Moreover, they should be taken immediately after the operation was performed. First of all, this is taking drugs that should reduce the inflammation of the intervention area, as well as enhance their nutrition. Patients in the case of development of callus may be prescribed:

• Treatment with medicines;
• operation;
• Physiotherapy procedures.

Let's take a closer look at these types of interventions. The rarest way to fix the problem is surgery. It is prescribed only in extreme cases. But drug treatment and physiotherapy can be used in combination, which will be discussed further.

Operation

This is a radical method. It is prescribed only after other methods have already been tried and have not given a result. In this case, the doctor must definitely prepare for the operation and consider ways to remove bone tissue so that new growth does not occur. Also, the operation is assigned if:

1. Periodically there is an increase in temperature;
2. There is increased swelling;
3. Redness occurs.

All these symptoms should be associated exclusively with callus and other complications after correction. But it is worth noting that the removal of the callus does not guarantee you a complete prevention of the recurrence of the situation. Only after a year will you be able to determine whether the second operation was successful for you. To avoid a recurrence of the situation, follow the recommendations of the doctor.

Preparations

Drug treatment involves the use of a number of drugs that are designed to reduce swelling and promote tissue nourishment. These are mainly glucocorticosteroid hormones. But they can also prescribe tonics, painkillers, and so on. Most commonly prescribed medications:

1. Diprospan - injections that are administered subcutaneously. They will reduce swelling and inflammation, as well as contribute to scarring.
2. Kenalog.
3. Traumeel C - to relieve swelling and as an anti-inflammatory agent. In therapy against the formation of callus after rhinoplasty, it is used everywhere. This is a homeopathic medicine in the form of tablets or drops.

Also, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics immediately after the operation, which will protect against infection, which can also provoke excessive tissue growth.

Physiotherapy procedures

With the help of physiotherapy, the treatment is very long. But it is considered one of the most effective. In this case, the patient must be under medical supervision. In the process of physiotherapy, the patient not only improves the resorption of callus, but also accelerates the process of tissue regeneration in general. The procedures include:

• Electrophoresis with appropriate drugs;
• Magnetotherapy;
• Phonophoresis with the appropriate drug;
• Thermotherapy.

These procedures are prescribed only in the absence of contraindications. If a person has an increase in temperature, then most of them cannot be carried out. Therefore, consult a doctor so as not to harm your health.

Bone callus in the photo

Let's discuss such a topic as rhinoplasty of the nose, plastic surgery on the nose.
Who did the rhinoplasty? What are your reviews after rhinoplasty? Do you like the shape of the nose?

I did rhinoplasty with osteotomy, three weeks have passed.
And after removing the plaster for a week or more, the nose was even and narrow, a week passed, and a small ball appeared in place of the former hump.
It is almost invisible to the eye (you should try to see it), but if you touch it in that place, you can very well feel the bump, hard, like a bone! Now what a day on the nerves!
What to do? Who had this?
Did it go away on its own, and you should not be afraid, or did you do a second nose correction?
P.S. I can’t go to the surgeon myself, because I had an operation on my nose in another city, then who should I contact in my city on this issue?
My nose after rhinoplasty photo.

And here are the comments received:

See a doctor in your hospital, a surgeon or an ENT.

Read on the website of plastic surgeons the results of rhinoplasty work.
Photos before and after rhinoplasty, rhinoplasty, results of work, general gallery.
The results of the before and after rhinoplasty (nose job) photos of all represented plastic surgeons.

Good nose. What is the price of rhinoplasty?

Yes, this is nonsense, if you can’t see it, don’t worry, I have these bumps and other nonsense after plastic surgery on the tip of my nose - in bulk, you can’t see anything, our bones are not perfectly smooth, there are various irregularities. No re-correction of the nose is necessary.

I read that it is possible to form a bone callus. Go to your surgeon and have him check it out.

I also have a slight swelling at the site of the hump. It is too early to evaluate the result, the nose after rhinoplasty will change throughout the year. Contact your doctor by phone, he will advise.

This is the rest of the hump, a slight roughness of the bone, most likely, hammer it, I advise you from the bottom of my heart, as a last resort, then the doctor will remove it with a rasp for nose correction, this is nonsense.

The profile is very beautiful, send the photo to the surgeon, let him look.

Now many doctors consult online, write to them.

I had and passed, the same rhinoplasty was, it will resolve, I assure you.

Not a nose, but a dream. Still, plastic surgery works wonders.

I don’t see anything from the photo after rhinoplasty, everything is fine, but do you have a photo before the operation?

Do not be afraid of anything! To evaluate the final result after nose surgery, you need at least six months to pass! And my advice to you - do not touch your nose! Otherwise, you can really rub something to yourself there. In the meantime, just pay less attention to him!

I fell in love with this nose. Great nose, I wouldn't sweat it.

I agree, but what else to do when you read scary tales on the forums, while you are waiting for the day for which you have an appointment with the doctor.

Great nose. What's wrong? I do not see. What nose job are you talking about?

Too much rhinoplasty, and it's only three weeks, your nose just heals.

Most of all, I am afraid of the operation on the nose because of the calluses, because the operation was morally suffered just terribly. And to get rid of these corns only by repeated rhinoplasty, but in my life I will no longer agree to such an operation. I made an appointment with the doctor, the next appointment was only 3 days later, and during these 3 days I just got into my mind, I’ll go crazy soon, tomorrow I’m going to the doctor.
And how long did the bump on the tip of the nose resolve, did it bother you?

Nice nose, but I probably wouldn't risk going to a surgeon. The consequences can be very dire.

Yes, of course I did! I sobbed, I thought that there would be a nose job again. A month or two is the maximum.

Then you understand me, and plus, I started looking on the Internet for what it was and why it appeared on my nose. I read about calluses after plastic surgery on the nose, tumors, cracks. Someone had something growing there, it festered, it stank. As a result, I was upset, cried, ate the brains of all my relatives and already decided to write here, to ask if anyone had the same thing. Tomorrow I'm going to the ENT, we'll take an x-ray, if the callus, then the picture will be visible as a bone shell, which means that everything is very bad and worried for good reason. And if there is swelling or something else, then the picture will not be visible and the doctor may help with the question, but still not 100%. Hence the excitement, nerves and such a spontaneous decision to write about it on the forum.
But thank you very much, you give hope that everything will be fine.

I don't see the ball. Very beautiful nose shape after rhinoplasty, don't worry.
- Do not worry, after a week of tip rhinoplasty, I also ran to the ENT about the ball and the smell of pus. As a result, they looked at me like I was a fool and said, well, the threads in your nose dissolve, of course, there will be a smell, and the bump will resolve, just give it time.

Thank you very much, I also like the way they did it, much better than before the nose correction, but you can feel the bump on the back of the nose if you touch it. I am shy by nature and now I'm worried - is it a callus.

However, it is small and not worth the money. Nothing is even noticeable. Better buy yourself something.

Thank you very much, this is not for nothing that I wrote, thank you very much.

I hope your fears are in vain, the nose is wonderful.

Write later how it all ended. I am also planning a rhinoplasty.

Okay, I’ll write, but after the operation I decided that I wouldn’t advise anyone to do nose rhinoplasty, it’s just hell, especially with local anesthesia, when you feel like you are breaking a bone, sawing, moving, clamping, cutting and even touching bones.
If you have a good nose, I do not advise anyone at all, unless it is mandatory for health reasons.

Terrible! I was told at a consultation about general anesthesia for rhinoplasty. Feelings of course tin, I sympathize. But the nose is great!

Perfect nose. Drop all doubts and worries.

General anesthesia is more dangerous than local anesthesia. general anesthesia may not work, as a result, your body will not move, because. you will sleep like, but your brain may not fall asleep, and you will feel pain, but you will not be able to say anything, or move, most likely, you will just faint from pain. Therefore, under local anesthesia, I had an operation on my nose, 9 injections around, feeling like a dentist, only digging in my nose.

In Makhachkala, I made it for 50 thousand rubles, Gadzhi Radjabovich, I chose him, because. all the friends who did, did it.

Girls, who did it - do not tell me the contacts of doctors tested for rhinoplasty?

I'll do it myself in the summer. Very scary, of course. But I've already made up my mind, here you read this, horror.

In Makhachkala, a good surgeon, he made my friends, after removing the plaster, the nose was small and even, but after a couple of days a bump began to be felt and I panicked. What I didn't think of. Maybe some special light one needs to be done, I know that after removing the cast from the leg, the hands must be prescribed.

I don't like my nose for some reason.

Can't go? But you must have a connection with him anyway! Phone, skype, etc., don't talk nonsense. He's in charge of your operation and you can contact him.

And you do not touch, for sure, after rhinoplasty, time must pass.

That's what my mom says to me.

A year ago, I had an operation on my nose in Baku with a well-known doctor, the result - the consequences went, plus a small bump appeared instead of a hump, horror.

Is she visible? Or just touch? And when did you start noticing it?

Call your doctor or write - not an option?

Great nose. Dont worry. Rehabilitation will do its job, from 6 months. up to 1 year.

I just have a meeting with the surgeon next Friday, I'm very afraid, but full of determination.
You have a perfect nose, the bump will resolve.
Here my mother and her friend had a drooping of the tip of the nose after tip rhinoplasty - this is really scary.

Yes, it’s visible, I noticed it right away, as the plaster was removed, like that, plus a white spot appeared on my nose.

What a beautiful nose. I have and without rhinoplasty so, for some reason. But I'm still going to have surgery on my nose.

And with the surgeon to write off via viber or something else, what’s the point?

General anesthesia is safe for rhinoplasty, it is better than local anesthesia for such an operation, there is less discomfort for the patient.

Your nose is normal. Think more, rhinoplasty is not an easy thing.

Regret. And I did not have a bump after removing the plaster.

Do not read all sorts of horror stories on the Internet, but go to the doctor!

You can write to your surgeon and ask to contact you, send a photo after rhinoplasty and describe the problem. I would have done so, and would not have started jumping around all the doctors.

A friend had a nose job done under general anesthesia.
Apparently, something went wrong. She was like in a coma. I heard everything. Felt. I almost lost my mind, poor thing. It turns out that some anesthesia does not take 100%.
Therefore, there need to be some kind of tests or something like that to take. Don't know.
Basically, talk to your doctor. You never know.

Three months ago, my best friend had a breast, under the general one, of course, she says - she passed out, then she woke up with new boobs. I hope that's how it will be for me.

Here I am looking for a good surgeon who will correct the mistake of that doctor whose hands grow out of the priests.

I broke my nose as a child, because of this the septum is crooked and I want to correct the tip of the nose.
Now it's doubly scary.

If plastic surgery is calmer under general anesthesia, then so be it, for me both were terrible. At the local one, you lie for an hour with your eyes closed, breathe through your mouth and talk to the surgeon, but the only unpleasant thing is that you don’t feel pain, but you feel how the bones are being touched.
But if you are only going to change the tip of your nose, then you won’t feel anything at all, general anesthesia is a terrible stress for the body, and local anesthesia is the same as going to the dentist. I also had a deviated septum, because as a child I played football and got hit in the nose many times.

No, it’s a complicated rhinoplasty, I will also break the bone, because in profile there is a straight nose on one side, and a small hump on the other (I don’t know how it happened).
I want snub-nosed.

Did you play football? Cool, I can't even hit the ball a couple of times.

So good luck to you! I advise you to choose the surgeon in whom you will be 100 percent sure.

Thank you. At 100, you can’t be sure of anything at all, but he pieced my mother’s nose together after 3 unsuccessful plastic surgeries, I hope I’m so lucky. And good luck to you!

Where is the ball? What ball? Who has the ball? For the life of me, there are no balls in sight!!

Keloid scar on the nose after rhinoplasty, maybe read about it.

No matter how much I looked, I did not see the ball. Normal good nose.

Call the doctor. Or go to a surgeon in your city. What to write here?

You have a perfect nose, your nose that suits you and looks harmonious, why touch your beautiful nose?

Normal nose in the photo. No nose correction is needed anymore.

Here they will do plastic surgery, and then suffer. More natural, girls!!

Have you been told that you might have an implant?
I know people when they did a nose job and touched the bone, then an implant of the type for "evenness" was inserted into this place.
For some, he walked with a shaking, and for someone he “slid down”.

Her bump is normal, the callus is bone or not finished, implants are usually placed during a secondary operation on the nose, during the primary - this must be discussed separately.

It’s just that I also did rhinoplasty, but they didn’t touch the bone.
Here in the clinic I saw enough of these, the bone is, of course, dangerous.

Am I the only one who doesn't see a ball?

Did you try to find the name of the clinic on the Internet and call, consult?

A beautiful nose, just beautiful, I don’t see the ball to be honest.

It is expensive?? What is the price of rhinoplasty?

It will resolve itself, Orbakaite treated the boil for a long time after plastic surgery, she wore glasses on purpose, but you can’t see anything.

Did you operate in the basement? What prevents you from consulting with your surgeon by phone, skype, etc.

The nose after the operation takes another year to form, but still call your doctor and ask.

Sorry, and what are you going to operate on? Seriously, I don't understand. People want to get the same nose, they go to surgeons, but you don’t like something about it, there is no hump, the nostrils are small, the nose is even!

I, like any girl, choose the right, successful angle, in fact, the septum is curved, the nose itself is broken, there is a slight hump, no, the nose is normal, normal, but too big and rough for my face.

Perhaps this is not tactful, and I do not dissuade you, do not think, your life and, of course, make the decision yourself. But I note that it is small for your face, not too big in any case.
The most difficult angle is the full face!
In the bulk, people take pictures in profile or half-turn, and you pose straight and look great.
No, it's up to you, of course, here, personally, I don't like big noses!
They really age!
Everything is so neat and beautiful, I don't know.
Still, we see ourselves differently, probably, people from the outside see us completely differently.

As requested, I am writing the result of my "self-discipline".
I went to the ENT, she told me that it was swelling and you shouldn’t worry, it was formed because the skin was “torn off” from the bone, it would pass in a month or two.

What do you think about rhinoplasty?

Callus is the result of the body's natural reaction to surgery, a kind of protective mechanism. Such formations after rhinoplasty often cause complications and pain in patients. Modern physiotherapy, drugs and reoperation can solve the problem. How to effectively remove bone formation and save yourself from suffering?

Read in this article

Causes of a defect on the nose

The appearance of callus should be considered as a defensive reaction of the bone. After all, surgery involves damage to the internal structure of the nose, and the body begins to regenerate and restore the missing elements. The main causes of the defect are considered to be the following:

• tendency to excessive formation of connective tissue with the formation of rough scars;
• unprofessional work of the surgeon.

The structure of the nose

A similar problem can be detected one year after rhinoplasty. During this time, there are three successive stages of callus development:

1. connective tissue appears at the site of damage;
2. the formation of thin bone fibers begins;
3. calcium salts create a hard build-up.

The size of the formation depends on the scale of the operation and the individual characteristics of regeneration.

Does the callus resolve or should it be disposed of?

Bone formation takes place over time. Quite rarely assigned. It is carried out in the following cases:

• with hypergrowth of fibers;
• with functional disorders of the nasal passages;
• at elevated temperature;
• with the appearance of elements of inflammation, for example, redness on the bridge of the nose.

At the first sign of a defect, you should consult a doctor.
You can identify the problem by the following symptoms:

• the formation of a small hump on the bridge of the nose;
• change in proportions, asymmetry;
• puffiness.

The defect can really resolve if certain measures are taken in the early stages, in particular, drink drugs and undergo physiotherapeutic procedures.

It is very important to observe the postoperative regimen, which will help prevent the development of bone tissue at the site of injury. Within one year it is necessary to visit the surgeon at least five times. This allows you to fix the result.

About callus after rhinoplasty, see this video:

Treatment of problems after rhinoplasty

The main goal of treatment is to eliminate a possible complication using existing techniques and methods. They must be applied almost immediately after surgery. A combined approach allows you to quickly achieve the desired result. However, the presence of individual contraindications (for example, temperature) may limit the choice of procedures. The first stage is the reduction of inflammation in the area of ​​damage with the help of drugs.

Medication treatment

Medical treatment after rhinoplasty stops the growth of bone tissue, eliminates swelling and redness. The composition of the drugs includes hormones that stabilize the healing process. There are several famous brands:

• Diprospan. An injection high in hydrocortisone is injected under the patient's skin to reduce inflammation.
• Kenalog. An intramuscular injection is performed to stabilize the scarring process.
• Traumeel S. The topical medicine is used in the form of drops or ointment to relieve redness and swelling.

The result of exposure to drugs will be noticeable after 6 to 12 months, so regular check-ups with a doctor are necessary. Drugs should be used only on the recommendation of a specialist.

How to remove a callus with surgery

Such a radical method as surgical correction is prescribed when other methods have not given the desired result. Often, the defect manifests itself in the form of the following discomfort after drug therapy:

• difficult nasal breathing;
• elevated temperature;
• redness of the bridge of the nose and pain.

After surgical correction (repeated rhinoplasty) of the callus

Based on the results of the examination and, if necessary, additional diagnostics, the method of the planned operation to remove the callus is determined. There are a number of techniques that allow you to exclude the further formation of a defect.

Replasty is a rare occurrence among patients. The result of the surgical intervention will be noticeable only one year after the operation.

Physiotherapy on the bridge of the nose

These procedures are considered the most effective way to eliminate education. The treatment process is under the supervision of a doctor for a long time. Special techniques are aimed at resorption of bone tissue, improving regeneration. The list of physiotherapy procedures is as follows:

• medical electrophoresis;
• ultrasound therapy;
• the use of thermotherapy;
• phonophoresis.

The presence of general contraindications may lead to the refusal of such procedures. Including physiotherapy is prohibited at elevated temperatures, so it is necessary to undergo a preliminary consultation.

Prevention of the appearance of callus on the nose

There are simple rules for prevention after rhinoplasty for patients. The list of recommendations is as follows:

• it is necessary to strictly comply with all the conditions of the rehabilitation period;
• you should consult a doctor if the primary symptoms of corns occur;
• it is necessary to observe bed rest for 3 days after plastic surgery;
• it is better to exclude physical activity for a month;
• two weeks it is forbidden to blow your nose;
• it is necessary to avoid hot baths, saunas, baths;
• you can not wear glasses;
• It is best to limit prolonged exposure to the sun.

Recommendations are aimed at the rapid and correct restoration of damaged tissues. Failure to follow simple rules leads to serious complications in most patients. Regular visits to the doctor significantly reduce the risk of corns on the nose.

The body's natural defense system can bring certain troubles after rhinoplasty. The compensatory abilities of the body lead to the formation of a bone formation on the bridge of the nose.

However, the use of medications and physical therapy can prevent a second surgery. Under the influence of hormones and a complex of procedures, the corn is successfully absorbed. Careful attention to the recommendations during the rehabilitation period allows you to forever preserve the natural harmony of the face and the functional abilities of the nose.

Kira (34 years old, Nakhabino), 04/09/2018

Good afternoon! Tell me, is it normal if I have a low temperature for several days after rhinoplasty? I was not warned about this in the hospital!

Hello! A slight increase in temperature after surgery is normal. Usually, in the first two or three days after the operation, the temperature is kept at 37-37.5 degrees. The temperature should drop on the third day after rhinoplasty. If this does not happen, we advise you to contact the clinic where you were operated on.

Georgy (36 years old, Moscow), 03/21/2018

Hello! Please tell me, is it possible to return the previous shape of the nose after a bone fracture? Thank you!

Hello! Yes, rhinoplasty allows you to return the nose to the desired shape, but plastic surgeons do not work with bones. Rhinoplasty only allows you to visually improve the shape of the nose, reduce it or change the shape of the nostrils. ENT surgery will help change the bone.

Vigen (32 years old, Moscow), 03/18/2018

How long does it take for the nose to heal after plastic surgery?

After surgery, bruising and swelling are observed, which may spread to the eye area or other parts of the face. Puffiness disappears in 7-10 days. At this time, physical activity, exercise is not recommended. Immediately after the operation, bleeding (from the nose) may occur, but these are only the consequences of soft tissue trauma. Bandages, as well as splints, are removed 14 days after the operation, during this period tampons are removed. Some patients feel severe pain when removing tampons, so pain medication is often used. Within a month, mucosal edema can be observed, so breathing will be difficult. After the swelling subsides, breathing will be restored. On average, the result after surgery can be assessed after 6 to 8 months. In rare cases, the result of the operation is evaluated after 12 months.

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I have a very small nose. Is there any way to increase it? Will it affect breathing?? Thanks for your reply Alevtina.

Hello Alevtina! Rhinoplasty can help solve your problem. We can enlarge the nose, keeping its shape or changing it according to your desire. Come to us for a consultation and we will discuss the expected results of the operation. Rhinoplasty will not disturb the respiratory processes, since the structure of the nasopharynx is taken into account during the operation.

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! Is it possible to correct the asymmetry of the face (due to a severely curved nose to the right) with rhinoplasty? Thanks for your reply, Alexey.

Hello Alexey! In practice, rhinoplasty will help you restore symmetry, but a face-to-face consultation is necessary for an accurate and clear answer to your question. You can make an appointment with us and we will conduct a full examination, discussing the likely outcome of rhinoplasty. It is also important to understand if the nose is crooked from birth or due to injury.

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! My daughter has a very big nose, she suffers a lot because of it. Is it possible to have rhinoplasty at 15? How will the operation differ at this age? Thanks in advance, Love.

Hello Love! Unfortunately, rhinoplasty is performed only from the age of 18. The reason for this is the growing up and formation of the child's body. The formation of the skeleton is being completed, and this process must be fully completed before the moment when surgery occurs. Try to work with a psychologist, and then come for a consultation when your daughter reaches 18 years old.

Evgenia (25 years old, Moscow), 09/01/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! Is it possible to straighten a displaced septum and remove the hump at the same time? Problems arose after a broken nose. How long will rehabilitation take? Sincerely, Evgenia.

Hello Evgenia! Yes, it is possible to carry out both operations at the same time. Only in rare cases, two stages are assigned, which are held at intervals of one month. The postoperative period takes about two weeks, during which time bruises and swelling should go away. The hospital stay usually takes no more than three days.

Olga (22 years old, Moscow), 08/30/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I heard that the result of rhinoplasty can be affected by the condition of the skin. This is true? If I have problem skin, then I can not do rhinoplasty? Thanks in advance.

Hello! Yes, the condition of the skin is one of the factors that are taken into account before the operation. The fact is that poor skin condition can give unpredictable complications during the rehabilitation period. You can undergo treatment with a dermatologist, and then make an appointment with us for a consultation, where we will discuss the feasibility of the operation.

Hello Galina! There are two types of rhinoplasty: open and closed. In the first case, a barely noticeable mark may remain on the partition, but with proper care, they disappear after a while. In the second case, all manipulations are carried out without violating the integrity of the skin. What kind of rhinoplasty is appropriate in a particular case - only the plastic surgeon decides after familiarizing himself with the analyzes and examination.

The rhinoplasty procedure is performed not only to correct the appearance of the nose, but also to restore respiratory functions. With the help of the operation, it is possible to eliminate both congenital defects that do not allow breathing, and mechanical injuries. But rhinoplasty always has a temporary side effect in the form of swelling.

Any incisions made during surgery are injuries. Not only the skin is damaged, but also the smallest blood vessels. For this reason, there is a violation of blood circulation and fluid is retained in the tissues, resulting in swelling after the operation.

Of course, the professionalism of the doctor during rhinoplasty is important, but it absolutely does not affect the appearance of edema. The intensity of the reaction is determined by the volume of surgical interventions, as well as the individual ability of the patient's cells to regenerate. From what succumbed to changes, skin and cartilage or bone segments, the duration of wound healing and the formation of edema depend. In some cases, due to the increased susceptibility of the tissues, the nose begins to swell even during the operation.

Often, rhinoplasty without surgery provokes the formation of swelling of the nose. This phenomenon is the body's reaction to the expansion of tissues with the help of a gel.

Types of puffiness

Based on the feedback from patients and the observations of doctors, swelling after rhinoplasty always disappears slowly. It takes from 3-4 months to 1 year. In some cases, an almost imperceptible swelling of the nose may be present for several years. The resumption of the normal state of the tissues occurs smoothly and gradually in the process, swelling of varying intensity is observed:

• Primary.
• Secondary.
• Residual.

1. Primary.

Swelling occurs during the operation or immediately after its completion. With the end of the manipulations, tampons soaked in special healing substances are placed in the nose. A fixing plaster bandage or splint is applied on top to prevent swelling and deformation of tissues. The greatest swelling appears 2-3 days after the rhinoplasty was performed.

Swelling of the tissues after the procedures appears on the nose and around the eyes. Often the amount of fluid that accumulates is so large that the patient is not able to open them in the first days. After 5 days, the swelling is significantly reduced. After this time, the fixing plaster cast is usually removed. As a result, swelling may increase somewhat.

2. Secondary.

Secondary swelling begins from the moment the plaster is removed. Edema after rhinoplasty is characterized by the appearance of tangible tissue seals. The back area and the tip of the nose are expanding. Based on patient feedback, this period lasts 4-6 weeks. Despite the duration of the stage, swelling is much less pronounced than in its initial appearance.

3. Residual.

The duration of the stage is from 8 weeks to 1 year. Most often, at 4 months, puffiness noticeable to others practically disappears. The nose takes on its final appearance. Adjustments, if necessary, can be made six months after the first rhinoplasty.

Edema prevention

In order for the swelling of the nose after rhinoplasty to go faster, it is important to do prevention before the operation. To do this, you must begin to adhere to the following recommendations at least a week before the procedure:

• Refuse to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetylsalicylic acid and Ibuprofen.
• Do not eat salty, smoked and high-spiced dishes.
• Complete cessation of smoking and drinking alcohol.

These requirements are due to the ability of these products and substances to negatively affect tissue repair and saturate the blood with toxins and cholesterol. Failure to comply with the rules for preparing for the procedure and the subsequent long secondary period result in the fact that swelling on the nose subsides unevenly. To improve the condition, the attending physician may prescribe special drugs that relieve inflammation.

Assistance after surgery

In order to understand how to deal with nasal edema resulting from rhinoplasty in a particular case, it is necessary to consult a doctor. However, there are general recommendations that can significantly speed up the process of swelling disappearance. After that, the nose will take on the desired shape much faster.

The main conditions for the rapid removal of puffiness are:

• lack of great physical exertion, especially accompanied by forward bends;
• avoid any injury to the nose;
• visiting saunas and baths is prohibited, a hot bath is also not welcome;
• quitting smoking and alcohol;
• Negative emotions such as anger or tears should be avoided as they lead to nosebleeds.
• stay away from hotspots for the spread of colds;
• use protection from direct sunlight to avoid skin burns. Particular sensitivity is observed in patients after rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose has been performed.

Swelling goes down much faster with a diet. It is not recommended to eat food with a high content of spices. Salty and smoked food only in limited quantities. An effective way to remove swelling is to sleep in a semi-sitting position. This position favors the outflow of blood.

After removing the plaster cast, the attending physician will prescribe auxiliary drugs that accelerate healing and improve the general condition. In some cases, a visit to the procedures is attributed to:

• phonophoresis;
• electrophoresis.

To achieve a quick positive effect, physiotherapy requires the use of additional medications in the form of specialized ointments and solutions.

Complications after rhinoplasty

Serious side effects after rhinoplasty are rare. Their number does not exceed 4% of all those who underwent this operation. However, the nature of the violations is diverse and depends on the individual characteristics of the patient's body. Among the most common side effects are:

1. Increase in body temperature up to 37.5-38°C. This indicator is a natural reaction of the body to damage. However, if the condition persists for more than 3 days and the temperature exceeds 38 ° C, this is a direct indication of the presence of an infection.

2. Swelling inside, which does not allow breathing through the nose. How much edema of this type comes down, only a doctor can say after examining it, but usually the process lasts 3 months.

3. Lack of smell. This complication is quite rare and is associated with the individual susceptibility of the patient. The restoration of the function occurs independently.

Among the serious side effects, various curvatures are most common. The nose in this case may be asymmetrical, with depressions or humps, or acquire an irregular tip shape. The reason is inaccurate cartilage cutting. This problem is eliminated with the help of surgical correction.

More serious consequences of rhinoplasty are also possible, in which the nose finally loses its functions. Inside, pus forms on the mucous membrane, cartilage partitions atrophy. As a result, the nose has a through hole. All this is the result of untreated infections in the patient's body.
