Plastic surgeon Ana Roxo takes this doubt about the rhinoplasty procedure
With the start of the pandemic in 2020, rhinoplasty became the 7th most performed plastic surgery in Brazil, according to the census commissioned by the Brazilian Academy of Plastic Surgery of the Face (ABCPF). The procedure, above all, became known for its aesthetic changes. Nonetheless, health issues are present in patient complaints, especially with regard to respiratory problems.
Even though it is considered one of the most complex surgeries to be performed, the search for a good professional becomes necessary. A PhD in plastic surgery, Ana Roxoemphasizes that as it is an aesthetic and functional organ, the surgeon must master both areas.“It’s in the center of the face and that’s why it’s a surgery that requires more detail because of the impact that the result can cause. In addition, the aesthetics of the nose depends on many structures such as skin thickness, cartilage quality and bone portion. Then it is a surgery that depends on refinement and, in addition to technique, the mastery of surgical tactics that meet the different cases“.
RHINOPLASTY AND REMODELING: WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?
Before performing the procedure, it is necessary to know exactly what you are looking for. One of the important points is to know the difference between rhinoplasty and rhinomodelation. “Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure, where it is possible to treat both the aesthetic part and the functional part of the nose. Rhinomodelation is the use of fillers to improve nasal aesthetics”adds Dr.
Furthermore, surgery becomes an ally for those who suffer from functional problems involving breathing, such as deviated septum. According to Purple, “in rhinoplasty, when the patient has a functional complaint or any anatomical alteration, we correct this issue in the same surgery. The surgery is for the nose to be more than beautiful, it becomes functional”comments.
With advances in technology, it is still possible to have an idea of what the result of the procedure will be like. “We use a tool in the first consultation, the simulation, to align expectations and outcome possibilities”adds Roxo.
Thus, for the surgeon, adapting the patient’s expectations to the possibility of treatment is a fundamental step for the success of the procedure: “It is necessary to understand the complaints of each one so that we can offer the appropriate treatment within their expectations”ends.
