Nose Surgery Melbourne

Reasons and Motivations for Nasal Surgery

Below are some of the main reasons why people may want to undergo Nose Surgery.

• Cosmetic adjustment:
  • Many individuals seek nose surgery to improve the aesthetic appearance of their nose.
  • Nose surgery can address concerns such as a prominent hump, a droopy or bulbous tip, a wide or narrow nose, or overall nasal asymmetry.
• Correcting functional issues:
  • Nose surgery is also performed to correct functional problems that impact breathing and overall nasal function.
  • Conditions such as a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or other structural abnormalities can obstruct airflow and cause breathing difficulties.
  • Rhinoplasty can help improve nasal airflow and restore proper functionality.
• Correcting birth defects, accidents or injuries:
  • Some individuals may undergo nose surgery to correct birth defects or injuries that have altered the shape or function of their nose.
  • Examples include cleft lip and palate deformities, nasal deformities resulting from trauma or accidents, or nasal defects caused by previous surgeries.
• Cultural or ethnic considerations:
  • In some cases, individuals may choose nose surgery to align their nasal features with cultural or ethnic ideals.
  • This can involve maintaining or modifying specific characteristics that are considered desirable within their cultural or ethnic background.

It is important to note that each person’s motivations for undergoing nose surgery are unique, and the decision should be based on personal desires, realistic expectations, and thorough discussions with a qualified ENT specialist surgeon.

It is important to note that each nose surgery procedure is unique, and the specific techniques used may vary based on the individual’s anatomy and the desired outcome.

It is essential to consult with a qualified and experienced specialist ENT surgeon who can assess your specific case and create a personalised surgical plan for you.

Different Types of Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty – Nose Reshaping – Nose Job

Rhinoplasty or nose reshaping surgery, is a procedure performed to change the appearance and/or functionality of the nose. It involves making surgical modifications to the nose’s structure, such as altering the size, shape, or proportions.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision Rhinoplasty, also known as Secondary Rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct problems or dissatisfaction following a previous Rhinoplasty surgery.

Septoplasty

Septal Deviation Surgery or Septoplasty is a common procedure often performed as part of a comprehensive nose job. Its primary objective is to correct the deviation of the nasal septum, which is the thin wall that separates the right and left nasal cavities.

Septo-Rhinoplasty

Septo-Rhinoplasty is a combined Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty Surgery. Rhinoplasty involves reshaping the nose to achieve desired changes in its appearance. On the other hand, Septoplasty is performed to correct a deviated septum, which is the misalignment of the nasal septum that can obstruct proper airflow and cause breathing difficulties.

Tip Rhinoplasty – A Mini Nose Job

Tip Rhinoplasty, also known as tip plasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing specific cosmetic concerns related to the nasal tip. It focuses on addressing issues such as a boxy nasal tip, droopy tip, round tip, round nose, or bulbous tip, which may affect the proportion and balance of the nose.

Alarplasty for Nostril Reduction or Reshaping

Alarplasty is a special type of rhinoplasty that aims to reshape the nostrils. It usually involves altering part of the nostril cartilage (called “alae”) to change either the shape or size of your nasal opening and sides of the nose. Other terms for Alarplasty also include alar trimming, alar reduction and alar base reduction.

Turbinoplasty – Turbinate Reduction Surgery

Turbinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to address enlarged turbinates and improve nasal airflow. Also known as Turbinectomies and Turbinate Surgery

Nose Bridge Surgery

A Nose Bridge Rhinoplasty, (sometimes known as a dorsal hump reduction), is a surgical procedure that focuses on addressing the appearance of the nose bridge (dorsum). This type of nose job is ideal for individuals who have concerns such as bumps, depressions, or asymmetry in this area.

Male Rhinoplasty

Male rhinoplasty, also known as male nose reshaping surgery, male rhino, male nose job, or male nose surgery, focuses on altering the shape of a man’s nose. This procedure can be performed for cosmetic purposes or to address breathing difficulties. Unlike a traditional nose job, male rhinoplasty is tailored to meet the specific cosmetic goals of men. The objective is to reshape the nose without feminizing its appearance or creating an artificial look.

What to Expect – Long-Term Results of Surgery

It’s important to note that full recovery from your surgery can take several months or up to a year, and the final results are not immediately visible. Over time, as swelling subsides and tissues settle, you will begin to see the final outcome. It’s essential to have realistic expectations and be patient throughout the recovery period.

Remember to closely follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, including any medication schedules, activity restrictions, and care guidelines. By doing so, you can help ensure a smooth recovery and achieve the best possible results from your nose surgery.
