Any abnormalities or asymmetrical shape of the nose significantly affect facial appearance and confidence. Regarding this, nose bumps are a common concern caused by birth or injury.
In this blog from SB Aesthetics- the best plastic surgery clinic in Delhi, Dr. Shilpi Bhadani will explain the causes of nose bumps and the effectiveness of rhinoplasty to correct them.
What is Nose Bump?
Nose bumps, or dorsum, are humps on the dorsal area of the nose. These bumps caused by cartilage and bone irregularities damage the shape of the nose from its bridge area to the tip. In addition to aesthetics, nose bumps develop physical discomforts too:
Swelling around the nasal area
Pain in the nostrils
Redness around the nose area
Sensation
Causes of Nose Bumps
The reasons for nose bumps are underneath:
Genetical transmission
Trauma or nose injury
A side-effect of any medication
Nose infection-like fun is formed in nostril hair follicles.
Nose Bumps Treatment- Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is cosmetic plastic surgery of the nose. This invasive procedure corrects the nose size and shape. During the procedure, incisions are made to get access to the hump of the nose and correct it. In addition to dorsum nose surgery, it is also beneficial for asymmetric nostrils, nasal tips, or bridges to create a more balanced and natural-looking nose.
The procedure of rhinoplasty in India takes 3-4 hours, during which the plastic surgeon performs the below-mentioned steps:
Administration of general/local anesthesia.
Incisions to the nose base or between the nostrils.
Correction of the nose cartilage by pressing it to the downside.
Adjust the pressed nose cartilage with the ribs connected to the ears, if required.
Correct the deviated septum.
Stitch the incisions and make them invisible with the art of plastic surgery.
Rhinoplasty takes fewer weeks to showcase the result. Patients are advised to use splints and gauze to cover the treatment area.
Risk and Complications with Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is an invasive procedure, as are others. Hence, side effects from this surgical procedure are also present. These are:-
Infection
Tenderness
Scars
Breathing discomfort
Pain and discoloration
These are all short-term side effects and do not have a worrisome counter-effect. These are easily manageable and can disappear by considering the surgeon's after-care instructions. These are:
Take rest and keep the head elevated.
Take medication as directed by the surgeon.
Avoid using blood thinners and herbal supplements.
Eliminate drinking and smoking.
Avoid jogging, working out in the gym, or aerobics.
Dont blow the nose.
Eat only soft, light foods that are high in fiber and fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation.
Avoid applying pressure to the lip area when softly brushing the teeth.
Wear front-closing clothing.
Reduce sodium intake to lower the swelling.
Don't chew too much.
After a week of recovery and consultation with the concerned medical expert, the candidate can resume routine work.
