Nose Osteotomy
Nose Osteotomy
A nose osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves the deliberate fracturing and resetting of the nasal bones. It is commonly performed as part of a rhinoplasty, also known as a "nose job," to correct cosmetic deformities or functional issues such as breathing difficulties. The goal of a nose osteotomy is to reshape or straighten the nasal structure, which may involve narrowing the bridge of the nose, correcting a deviated septum, or addressing asymmetries. This can be necessary after trauma, congenital defects, or previous surgeries. The procedure typically involves making precise cuts along the nasal bones using specialized surgical tools, after which the bones are carefully repositioned into the desired alignment.
Post-surgery, the bones are usually stabilized with internal splints or external casts to maintain the new shape while they heal. The procedure can lead to significant bruising and swelling, which may take several weeks to subside. Full recovery and final results can take several months as the bone and soft tissue settle into their new configuration. Nose osteotomy is generally performed under general anesthesia and requires careful planning and execution by an experienced surgeon to minimize the risk of complications and ensure optimal outcomes. The success and satisfaction of the procedure largely depend on the skill of the surgeon and the patient's adherence to post-operative care instructions.
