The nose is one of the most prominent features on a humans face and with a defect it becomes a hindrance to ones’ self esteem, outlook on life and even self comfort. Nasal reconstructive surgery creates a simple way for the person to change their appearance to one that suits them.

Discussing with your doctor the plans that you have and the outcome you would like to see is the best way to determine if the surgery is right for you. The doctor will explain in detail the procedure and be able to show you what you’re after surgery results will look like.

When reconstructing the nose there will be many considerations to adhere to, such as color, contour, texture as well as function. If the surgery is being done strictly for cosmetic purposes or for function, the doctor will need to determine the best method for the reconstruction of the nose.

The nose is made up of a vascular lining, bone, alar tip cartilages, tissues, as well as thin skin that is  part of the face. Determining where the defect is and the course of action to repair it can be a tedious job for any physician.

Skin matching is one of the largest issues the patient will have to discuss with their doctor if any grafting is needed. Finding a location for the skin graft is essential to a good color and texture match when nasal reconstructive surgery is performed.

In most cases patients recover from the surgery swiftly and without excess pain.  There are some stipulations for patients before undergoing the nasal reconstructive surgery; poor health or an existing disease or infection may result in the surgery being cancelled. Before, during and after the surgical procedures the patient will need to refrain from tobacco use. If the patient is on any blood thinning medications, has a compromised vascular supply of the flap, or is undergoing radiation therapy they may not be suitable for the surgery.

A full medical disclosure should be done with the physician before scheduling the nasal reconstructive surgery to ensure the patient is stable and in good health.
