Nose reconstruction

What is nasal reconstruction

Nasal reconstruction is a plastic surgery aimed to restore the shape and functions of the nose. Nasal reconstruction is different from rhinoplasty, because of the greater scope of intervention and a different technique.

Impairments of the nose shape and function can happen as a result of:

• Congenital anomaly: practically in all people, the nasal septum is curved, and in some cases, it obstructs nasal breathing.
• Injuries, such as nose fracture during athletic activities, or a nasal extremity bitten off in childhood, or burns.
• Tumours, including malignant and benign overgrowth of nasal tissue.

Broken nose reconstruction

The reconstruction of a broken nose can be performed in one surgery.

Some extra cartilage tissue may be required for the surgery. It is taken from the patient’s ear pavilion or rib.

Nasal reconstruction is performed only by open access, with the incision along the columella.

After the scar is healed, it becomes invisible.

The recovery after the nasal reconstruction is not different from rhinoplasty:

1. On the third day, a patient can get discharged from the clinic (we recommend staying in until the sutures are removed)

2. There are no bruises at all, or the bruises go away over the first 5 days.

3. Sutures, protecting plate and splints are removed on the 7^th day.

4. The swelling subsides over 5 to 10 days.

5. The final results are assessed in 1 to 2 months.
