Rhinoplasty (more commonly known as a nosejob) is a surgical procedure done to the nose to improve what it does and how it looks. This is by directly renovating the cartilage – the bone-like structure giving the nose its shape – into something that both the surgeon and the patient can agree as sound and functional. It’s very safe and very effective.

Delaware Rhinoplasty goes like so: After anesthesia, the surgeon cuts incisions along the nostrils, and then the soft fleshy tissue of the nose is separated from the cartilage. After the separation, the cartilage is remodeled. and then everything is put back into place to heal naturally. That’s Rhinoplasty in a nutshell for you!

Is Rhinoplasty painful?

Hardly! Rhinoplasty is very safe, and since it’s a surgical procedure first and foremost you won’t feel a thing. This is because of the mandatory anesthesia that all patients in all surgeries go through. In fact, you can also opt to be put under anesthesia so that you can sleep, worry-free, throughout the entire procedure so that when you wake up you won’t even know what the doctor did!

Complications happening before, after or during the surgery are very rare, and even if they do happen you need not worry about them too much. Just remember that your Delware Rhinoplasty surgeon has done it all before and he or she knows his way around the procedure. So trust your surgeon with your nose!
