Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon in Lebanon - Dr. Joe el Khoury

Nose Surgery Rhinoplasty, sometimes called a “nose job” by patients, enhances facial harmony and the proportions of your nose.

You may have been unhappy with your nose for as long as you can remember, or have difficulty breathing; either way, rhinoplasty or nose reshaping may be an option.

The operation can change the size of your nose, the width of the bridge, and the position of the nostrils. Additionally, it can alter the profile of your nose by reducing humps, bumps, or depressions on the bridge.

Rhinoplasty can also reshape the nasal tip, improve the appearance of large, wide, or upturned nostrils, and correct nasal asymmetry. From a functional standpoint, it can correct specific breathing difficulties, such as those caused by a deviated septum. It is also an option for certain birth defects, nasal bones and noses injured in car or sports accidents.

Here’s what you need to know now about this procedure

Rhinoplasty Defined

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose. One of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in Lebanon, Dr. Joe Khoury, performs nose jobs to correct bumps or hooks on the nose, enhance appearance by refining size and shape, and improve breathing by addressing a deviated septum.

The septum, the wall between the two nostrils, comprises cartilage and bone and divides the nasal cavity into halves. Ideally, the nasal septum is straight, creating equal passageways. However, a deviated septum occurs when it shifts away from the midline, sometimes causing significant breathing difficulties.

Are You a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Nose surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. You may be a good candidate if you’re self-conscious about your nose. Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for aesthetic and corrective purposes.

Rhinoplasty can improve the balance and proportion of your nose and face. This procedure can address issues caused by birth defects, injuries, or age-related changes.

Preparing for Rhinoplasty

Dr. Khoury will likely give you a list of instructions before you undergo rhinoplasty. Generally, you should not eat or drink after midnight on the evening before.

If you smoke, you should quit in advance of your nose surgery. Dr. Khoury may be able to provide tools to help you quit.

In addition to all the other adverse health effects associated with smoking, it severely compromises blood flow to the skin. This means there is less oxygen to aid in wound healing, and necrosis (death) of the skin can occur. Drinking alcohol during the week is also discouraged, as alcohol can also impair the healing process.

Dr. Khoury may also discuss stopping certain medications in the days or weeks before your rhinoplasty. For example, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen can increase the risk of bleeding. While considered natural, certain vitamins and herbal preparations, such as Vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, omega-3 fatty acids, and green tea, can also increase the risk of bleeding.

Tell your surgeon about everything that you are taking. Never stop taking any medications without first discussing it with your doctor.

Types of Rhinoplasty in Lebanon

Rhinoplasty is a nose-reshaping plastic surgery. There are several types of rhinoplasty, including two kinds of primary rhinoplasty (“open” and “closed”), secondary rhinoplasty and filler rhinoplasty.

Open Rhinoplasty. For major nose reshaping, surgeons make incisions in the vertical strip of skin separating the nostrils, called the columella. The skin and soft tissue are then elevated off the underlying structures of the nose so we can see the nasal anatomy.

Closed Rhinoplasty. To reshape the nose, the surgeon separates the skin from the bone and cartilage, which provide its supporting framework. Once exposed, bone and cartilage can be removed, reshaped, augmented or rearranged to achieve the desired new shape.

Surgeons perform secondary rhinoplasty, or revision rhinoplasty, to correct issues that persist or arise after a previous rhinoplasty.

Although the problems may be minor and easily corrected, they are often major, making secondary rhinoplasty more difficult. Revision rhinoplasty can be an open or closed procedure.

Filler Rhinoplasty involves using injectable fillers to fill depressions, smooth out sharp angles, or change the angle of the tip of the nose, restoring symmetry and making your nose appear smaller and more attractive. Instead of removing a bump, Dr. Khoury would use an injectable filler to even it out. The results are not permanent.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a subspecialty that has become increasingly popular with African Americans, Asian Americans and Hispanics in recent years. It’s a unique procedure with equally unique considerations and some special precautions that should be understood before surgery.

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

Most rhinoplasties are performed on an outpatient basis in a hospital or surgical suite. Exactly how long the procedure takes depends on the type of rhinoplasty performed. For example, a primary rhinoplasty typically requires one to three hours of surgery, while a revision rhinoplasty can take much longer. A filler rhinoplasty can take just 15 minutes.

Anesthesia. Dr Khoury will likely recommend local anaesthesia with some sedation or general anaesthesia for your primary rhinoplasty. A secondary rhinoplasty may involve general anaesthesia because of the complexity of the procedure. A filler rhinoplasty requires just local anaesthesia.

The Incision. Nose surgery is performed either using a closed procedure (where incisions are hidden inside the nose) or an open procedure (where an incision is made across the columella). Dr. Khoury then raises the soft tissues that cover the nose through these incisions, which provides access to reshape the nose’s structure.

The reshaping. We can reduce or augment nasal structures with cartilage grafted from other areas of your body.

These pieces of cartilage can come from the septum or occasionally from the ear or the rib cartilage. If the septum is deviated, this should straighten it. In addition, any projections inside the nose will be reduced to improve breathing.

Closing the incision. Once the underlying structure of the nose is sculpted, the nasal skin and tissue are redraped and the incisions closed. A cast or splint may also be applied.

Recovering from Rhinoplasty

You will probably be excited, if not anxious, to see your new nose, but patience is key after rhinoplasty. Complete results are not immediate and can take up to one year to fully manifest.

You may have breathing problems through your nose for the first 24 hours because of swelling or nasal packing (if used). You may experience some discomfort but can typically control it with pain medicine.

Rhinoplasty patients can stop pain medication after 48 hours.

You may experience limited bleeding during the first few days of your rhinoplasty recovery. It is essential to avoid any trauma to the nose during the first week after surgery.

Blowing your nose is not permitted after rhinoplasty. This can be tough, as you may feel stuffy. Decongestants may help.

The cast or splint is removed on about day seven. Your nose will still be swollen, but much of the swelling will decrease after two weeks. At this point, all nasal packing, splints, and other post-surgical dressings should be removed. During the healing process, the doctor will place a splint over the outer part of your nose to protect it and help it hold its new shape.

By one month after surgery, approximately 85 per cent of the swelling will have gone down. The remaining swelling may take up to one year to subside. For this reason, you should wait at least one year before undergoing revision rhinoplasty.
