Iran is a better destination for having a nose job than nearby countries as it has a long history in plastic surgery, advanced hospitals, experienced surgeons, and cost-effective options for this operation. The price of rhinoplasty in Iran is almost $1.000 lower than in Turkey, while the quality and outcome of this surgery are the same in both countries.
Revision rhinoplasty improves the shape and structure of a previously-operated nose. This operation is done under general anesthesia, and its procedure is the same as initial rhinoplasty by some means. However, the recovery from this surgery is harder and takes a bit longer as it is performed on scarred tissues and fragile cartilage.
Rhinoplasty scars form around the fins, under the nose, and inside the nostrils. Most of these scars resolve within 6 to 12 months, but some of them require steroid injection, laser therapy, prescribed creams, or even another surgery to be removed.
The time that you can start wearing makeup after rhinoplasty depends on the type of surgery you have had. In general, you can apply makeup a month after open rhinoplasty, a week after closed rhinoplasty, and a day after a nonsurgical nose job. Keep in mind that using strong cleansers or chemical peelers, as well as applying makeup on the wounds right after the surgery, may cause infection.
Septoplasty corrects a crooked nose by removing an extra part of the septum and straightening the nasal bone. This operation fixes breathing problems, restores a sense of smell and taste, improves the quality of sleep, and reduces sinus infection. However, it may also cause septum perforation, skin discoloration, dryness in nostrils, mild swelling, facial pain, etc.
Liquid rhinoplasty is suitable for people who expect minor changes from this operation. In a nonsurgical nose job, the plastic surgeon injects fillers to remove dents on the nose, conceal minor septum deviation, or eliminate nasal flaws that have not been removed during the previous rhinoplasty. This operation will not benefit those with fleshy noses, droopy nasal tips, breathing issues due to nasal defects, and severe septum deviation.
Cleaning the nose for four weeks after the nose job is a must, as it can eliminate the side effects of this surgery and improve its outcome. The best ways to clean the nose after rhinoplasty are saline serum and sprays, bacitracin antibiotic ointment, hydrogen peroxide solution, and Q-tip.
A rhinoplasty diet includes foods containing high fiber, vitamins, proteins, and minerals. Anti-inflammatory foods like olive, leafy vegetables, broccoli, fish, and even dark chocolate help the swelling subside faster. On the other hand, avoid having salty and spicy dishes, processed and canned foods, beverages that are too hot or cold, and chewy foods since they interfere with your healing.
Expect swelling, bruising, skin tenderness, nose numbness, and breathing difficulty after a nose job. The recovery from rhinoplasty takes 6 to 8 weeks; in the meantime, get plenty of rest, reduce your salt intake, clean your nose regularly, avoid heavy activities, do not smoke, and avoid sun exposure.
It is recommended to get prepared for it from weeks ago by avoiding alcohol and smoking, avoiding blood thinning medications, having a daily skincare routine to reduce the risks of rhinoplasty, and having a more comfortable recovery period.
