Recovery Planning

Some advance planning prior to the recovery stage can ensure more comfort for the patient, and they can focus completely on their recovery. Patient should take the following steps in advance for a quicker and easier recovery after rhinoplasty plastic surgery:

• Arrange for a friend or family member to drive the patient home after the procedure.
• If the patient has little kids, arrange for help for a few days or have someone to assist the patient at home.
• Working individuals should apply for at least one week off from work and another week with restricted movements.
• Keep a supply of cold compresses at home to minimize post-operative swelling.
• Any important household tasks or work responsibilities should preferably be completed before the surgery.

Instructions for Recovery

It is important that the patient should follow the post-op instructions of the plastic surgeon as diligently as possible. This will help to ensure a safer and faster recovery. Pain and discomfort during recovery can be cut down with the following measures:

• Stay hydrated and drink plenty of fluids through the day
• Use cold compresses several times a day to reduce swelling
• Take adequate rest during the first week, but perform short walks and light activities at home
• Refrain from lifting heavy weights or doing any strenuous activities for at least two weeks
• If any abnormal symptoms such as fever, pus in the wounds, severe pain in the incision area or excessive swelling are noticed, contact the surgeon immediately

First Week after Surgery

Bruising, swelling, headaches and nosebleeds may occur in the first two to three days. The surgeon will prescribe pain relievers for the first week. The first day after surgery, the patient should rest with the head in an elevated position. Blowing the nose should be avoided for the first two to three days.

New Few Weeks

After the first week, the first follow-up appointment will take place to monitor healing and to remove the nasal packing and sutures. Bruising will disappear by the second week, and swelling will begin to subside. Patients can usually return to work in the second week. Vigorous exercises should be avoided for at least two to four weeks to allow for complete healing.

Liposuction body contouring procedure ranks on the very top of the list of most popular plastic surgery procedures in the US. For more than three decades, liposuction surgeons have provided attractive and youthful looking body contours to women and men suffering from stubborn fat pockets in certain areas of the body. Liposuction techniques over the years have become less invasive and more targeted.
Customization is one of the important benefits of liposuction. It can be tailored to suit the unique anatomical and aesthetic needs of a patient. The procedure can be performed independently or in conjunction with other surgeries. Board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin provide liposuction to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and surrounding locations.
 

Innovative Techniques

A number of innovative and advanced techniques are used today to perform liposuction plastic surgery.
 
Traditional Liposuction
Traditional liposuction may be recommended when the patient needs to remove significant amounts of fat in one or more areas. The surgeon will physically manipulate the targeted fat tissue using a slim cannula, which is inserted through an incision placed discreetly. The unwanted fat cells will be dislodged and then removed through a suction pump attached to the other end of the cannula.
 
Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent technique is highly popular today because it involves smaller incisions, making the procedure less invasive and less complicated. The surgeon will apply a liberal volume of anesthetic solution through the incision to cause swelling of the targeted fat cells. The cells are then isolated and removed more easily. Bleeding risk is minimal with this technique, and it only requires local anesthesia. Less pain and less downtime are involved in tumescent liposuction.
 
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction
Ultrasound technology is used by some plastic surgeons to perform liposuction in a less invasive manner. Ultrasound energy will generate controlled heat, causing the fat cells to liquefy. This will make it easier to suction larger and denser fat tissue. MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas for liposuction.
 
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Laser technology is applied in several surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures to create less invasive and more precise outcomes. Laser-assisted liposuction can help to achieve safer results in sensitive areas such as the cheeks, chin, neck, jowls, and arms.
 

Abdominal Etching

Of late, an innovative liposuction technique called abdominal etching has become popular. This procedure is designed to enhance the appearance of abdominal muscles, and create an attractive ‘six pack’ look. The muscles are outlined and layered up with a thin film of fat to obscure the muscles and reveal a chiseled look.
 

Recovery and Results

Liposuction may involve downtime ranging from five to 10 days, depending on the amount of fat removed and the number of areas treated. Initial pain and soreness in the incision areas can be treated with pain medications. Results of liposuction will establish gradually, and will be sustainable for the long term provided the patient maintains a terrific diet and exercise routine.

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose reshaping surgery or a nose job, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to improve the size and shape of the nose in proportion to other facial features. The procedure is highly intricate, even though it may appear minor on the surface. A slight change to the nose can have a magnified impact on the overall facial appearance.
Therefore, it is imperative that the patient should understand the full implications of rhinoplasty before they go ahead with it.  to ensure that the patient properly comprehends the effectiveness of the procedure.
MBody provides rhinoplasty to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and surrounding locations.
 

What are Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping Surgery) Before and After Images?

Before and after images in case of nose reshaping plastic surgery refer to a pair or group of pictures pertaining to an earlier patient who has gone through the same procedure with good results. The pictures include images taken prior to the surgery and after the surgery at a stage when the new shape of the nose has firmed up and the redness and swelling have disappeared.
The plastic surgeon will ensure that these photographs are obtained with the explicit consent of the patient. The identity of the patient is generally kept confidential. The sole motive behind this exercise is to educate new patients about different aspects of rhinplasty and assist them in making an informed decision.
 

Advantages

Rhinoplasty is a complex procedure involving different surgical techniques, and each technique will produce its own impact. Results will differ for male and female patients as well as ethnic patients. A new patient will naturally be apprehensive about how the procedure may change the shape of their nose and how their overall facial appearance may be affected.
The surgeon’s goal is to ensure that the patient makes the right choices in order to achieve optimal benefits from nose reshaping surgery. Therefore, they will make use of rhinoplasty before and after photos as an effective visual tool. MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and nearby areas for rhinoplasty.
 

Realistic Expectations

The surgeon will present rhinoplasty before and after photos at the very outset so that the patient knows from the beginning what to expect and what not to expect from the procedure. This allows them to achieve better satisfaction levels in the end, and mitigates the risk of any misunderstanding or disappointment. These photos leave very little scope for imagination, as long as photos are not manipulated or enhanced to present a false look or personification.
 

Online Photos

 The plastic surgeon may choose to provide nose reshaping surgery before and after photos on their practice website. New patients can simply access the photos online even before they are ready to visit the surgeon’s office for a personal rhinoplasty consultation.
This saves so much time. This saves the patient and the surgeon time. Now the patient and the surgeon are closer together without ever speaking a word. With the advent of digital technology the patient and the doctor can be on the same page without ever actually meeting. Digital technology has altered many industries for the better and the medical one is none different. Now the surgeon does not have to explain everything to the patient since the patient has already seen super clear pictures on how this surgery will look on them.

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, has emerged as an increasingly popular plastic surgery procedure in recent years. More than 200,000 rhinoplasty procedures are carried out each year in the US, placing it among the top five plastic surgeries in the country.
On the surface, rhinoplasty may appear to be a minor procedure, but it involves delicate nuances that can have a dramatic impact on the overall facial balance and appearance. In some cases, rhinoplasty can be used to correct structural issues and clear breathing obstructions.

Types of Rhinoplasty

Various approaches to nose plastic surgery are employed by surgeons, depending on the unique nasal structure and aesthetic needs of a patient.
 
Reduction Rhinoplasty
This is probably the most common type of nose reshaping surgery. It is designed to reduce the nose size in order to bring it in balance with other facial features such as the chin. The plastic surgeon may reduce the nasal bumps, refine the nasal tip, and reshape enlarged or upturned nostrils as a part of this procedure. The technique usually involves removal of some amount of cartilage and bone to reduce the nose size.
 
Augmentation Rhinoplasty
If an individual has a less prominent nose which appears undermined by other facial features, the surgeon may recommend augmentation rhinoplasty. This technique will involve building up of the nasal bridge or nasal tip with the help of tissue or bone grafting. The surgeon will use spare cartilage from the septum, ribs, or other areas. A few patients may also require implants to augment the nose size.
 
Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty
This technique may be used for a patient who has suffered severe injury in the nose area. To restore both nasal function and aesthetics, the surgeon may have to repair a fractured bone, straighten the nose, or enhance the nasal septum. Leading plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin receive patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas for rhinoplasty.
 
Reconstructive Rhinoplasty
Skin cancer or a serious accident may sometimes result in the patient losing all or a part of their nose. In such a case, a reconstructive rhinoplasty may have to be performed to rebuild the nose. Flap technique, skin grafting, and synthetic implants may be used in the process of nasal reconstruction.
 
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
People of different ethnic backgrounds such as African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and Middle Eastern will usually have certain nasal characteristics peculiar to their ethnicity. To improve their nasal contours, they may sometimes choose ethnic rhinoplasty. The surgeon must have a deep understanding of the ethnic facial features, and should be able to preserve the natural identity and integrity of the face while creating a desirable shape of nose.
Recovery in rhinoplasty can take about a week to 10 days. The results are usually permanent and will establish themselves gradually over several months.
