Types of Rhinoplasty

A right surgeon would explain the surgical aspects to the patient or client, along with limitations of each type of Rhinoplasty for the desired outcome.

The costs of Rhinoplasty vary as per the desired outcome.

It depends upon the desired outcome. Closed Rhinoplasty is often the choice for minor cosmetic changes, while Open Rhinoplasty is for significant alterations, including those for improving breathing.

Usually, the procedure lasts for anything from one and a half hours to three hours. Recovery time from any of the surgery-related effects is less than a fortnight. These are outpatient procedures. The person undergoing surgery can notice the desired outcome in less than 6 months.

Insurances cover only Functional Rhinoplasty, if at all. Some may cover the reconstruction of the nose or part of it following an accident.

The effect of Filler Rhinoplasty lasts only for six to twelve months. All other types of Rhinoplasty offer permanent results.

Any plastic surgeon can do either of these surgeries. There is no need for any specialists, and there are none. However, Dr. Vikas Gawri does rope in other surgeons with experience in treating breathing problems as and when there is the likelihood of the cosmetic and functional Rhinoplasties being performed simultaneously.

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty requires specialization in understanding the effects of any carving of the bones or cartilages on the appearance. Surgeons other than the plastic surgeons are not focused on appearance, so they may not be able to improve appearance.

A good plastic surgeon ensures that the scar remains inconspicuous. There are creams now that do help in fading these scars, but the bottom line is, these scars do not disappear completely.
