"Nose jobs"(rhinoplasty) are the most sophisticated of all cosmetic surgeries, the
reason being that the nose is a completely hollow structure. The surgeon has to change the shape of the nose, while preserving intact both its support (outside walls) and its breathing function (inside wall).
Dr Fanous uses a very new technique:
The Mini-Dissection. Tiny incisions and minimum surgery are used to achieve
maximum result with minimal swelling.
Nose surgery consists of removing the excess cartilage and gently filing down the excess bone.
The scars are hidden inside the nose. If
it is necessary to decrease the size of the nostrils, a tiny scar is left at the base of
each nostril.
Frequently, implants made of a synthetic sponge-like material may be used to augment parts of the nose and to improve the final result of the surgery. Infection of these implants is possible but uncommon. If an infection does occur, the implant is removed and replaced again a few months later.
All stitches are absorbable.
To prevent pain, a new type of absorbable pack, like gelatine, is placed inside the nose and will gradually dissolve during the first week following surgery.
On the average, nose surgery is performed within one to two hours.
