How Rhinoplasty Works
The primary rhinoplasty procedure involves several key steps:
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Tripathi. During this initial meeting, you will discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations. Dr. Tripathi will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the best approach for your specific needs.
- Anesthesia: Primary rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety during the procedure.
- Incisions: Dr. Tripathi will create incisions, typically inside the nostrils, to access the underlying structures of the nose. This approach avoids visible external scarring.
- Reshaping: Depending on your goals, Dr. Tripathi may reshape the bone, cartilage, and/or soft tissue of your nose. This may involve reducing, augmenting, or repositioning these structures.
- Septoplasty: If necessary, septoplasty can be performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty to correct a deviated septum. This enhances both the appearance and function of your nose.
- Closing Incisions: Dr. Tripathi will meticulously close the incisions, ensuring minimal scarring.
- Recovery: After surgery, you'll be monitored in a recovery area, and you may return home the same day.
