Rhinoplasty Manchester

This treatment is usually considered by someone who is unhappy with the shape of their nose. Cosmetically, it may be because the nose has a bump on the bridge, a crooked bridge of the nose, large nostrils or protrudes too much. Correctively, injury or trauma may have altered the shape and / or the structure of the nose. For some people, whether genetically or as a result of injury, breathing through the nasal passages can be compromised and this procedure can alleviate these problems. Successful healing is enhanced if a person is in good health, doesn’t smoke and is not taking aspirin or inflammatory medication.

The safety of the patient is always at the heart of every procedure performed by Mr. Marando. The appropriate anaesthesia will be used, alongside the safest and most effective techniques to ensure the operation is a success.

Due to anaesthetic being used for the procedure, there will be no pain felt during the actual procedure. However, there will be a degree of post-operative discomfort and tenderness. An appropriate course of pain relief will be administered during the weeks following the operation, helping to ease any soreness. The patient will need to be mindful of keeping activity levels to a minimum, ensuring a more comfortable process of healing.

This type of treatment will inevitably incur swelling and bruising, and some patients express experiencing headaches. In less common cases, the patient can have nosebleeds, develop an infection, experience delayed healing or in extremely rare cases, thickened scars. It is important to point out that any surgery requiring a general anaesthetic carries the risk of the patient developing problems associated with the heart or respiratory system, as well as deep vein thrombosis.

At a pre-operative consultation, Mr. Marando will ensure you are fully informed with regards to any risks that a surgical procedure can incur.

The patient is usually discharged several hours after the surgical procedure, when appropriate, and may need to allow up to 2 weeks as downtime, ensuring the first stage of the healing process is successful. On the day of discharge the patient will need to arrange for transport home and for someone to be able to remain at home with you for the first 24 hours. The patient will need to take some time off work, maybe one or two weeks, and maintain a low-level lifestyle. Contact sports and more strenuous exercise should not be undertaken for up to 6 weeks, post treatment, and the patient should expect to allow the next 6 – 12 months for the effects to settle completely and for the full results to become visible.
