Among the various plastic surgery procedures currently available, rhinoplasty (the technical name for nose surgery) is the most complex type to be performed with excellence.
The nose is one of the most striking features of a person's face, and small irregularities in its shape can cause serious self-esteem issues for the patient. Currently, developed rhinoplasty techniques can correct these imperfections in a way that harmonizes facial symmetry and aids in better respiratory system function.
Besides facial harmony, in practice, rhinoplasty can improve breathing, sense of smell, and bring more quality of life to those who suffer from both acquired and congenital deformities. In our clinic, we mainly use the structured technique, which is a less aggressive technique with more natural and aesthetically balanced results for the face.
It is a technique used by more experienced surgeons in facial procedures, separating all the subunits of the nose and usually removing cartilage from the septum, making precise modifications to the structures. As a result, the outcome is much more durable and with less risk of future changes.
In general, the doctor evaluates facial proportion, nasal angles, skin characteristics, and what needs to be improved for quality of life as well. That is why it is very important to choose a doctor carefully, as rhinoplasty is an artisanal process that requires precise and accurate skills to ensure everything works as expected.
Moreover, in our clinic, you will find the support of qualified professionals to answer all your questions, whether about the surgical process or postoperative care. If you are considering undergoing rhinoplasty, schedule a consultation and get all the necessary information to help you make this decision.
Advantages of the structured technique
It is important to note that after rhinoplasty surgery, the nose continues to be affected by various forces, such as the pressure generated by breathing in the airways. Consequently, the scar tissue that forms around the positioned cartilages may undergo small deformations over time, even altering the position of these cartilages.
For this reason, Structured Rhinoplasty aims to strengthen this nasal structure, contributing to more lasting results, in addition to greater precision in sculpting the cartilage, providing a more natural and harmonious result.
Furthermore, depending on the case, the surgeon may prioritize internal incisions in the nose, which ensures they remain completely imperceptible.
Anesthesia
With advancements in medication and patient monitoring and control equipment technology, general anesthesia has become the safest when well indicated.
We must consider very important factors such as: pre-existing diseases, preoperative exams, competent professionals, modern equipment, and hospitals with infrastructure suitable for surgical procedures.
It is of utmost relevance to know the patient's history and have a clinical evaluation that allows indicating the procedure.
Proper monitoring using all the technological resources accessible today allows for the control of heart rate, blood pressure, oxygenation, airway control, maintenance of body temperature, prevention of thrombosis, and even determination of patients' level of consciousness.
