Why is Rhinoplasty Important in Facial Feminization Surgery? from Rahul's blog
The nose is the central facial feature that sticks around in the midline of the face and catches the attention of everyone around. Its overall appearance varies from one individual to another, even per gender. The nose of the people assigned male at birth is typically longer, wider, and overall larger as compared to people assigned female at birth. Females usually have shorter, narrower, and slightly concave noses. Thus, males have more prominent noses in contrast to females.
As males and females have different nose appearances, a facial feminization surgery will have to include surgery to correct nose aesthetic abnormalities as per the gender assigned to an individual at birth. The surgery which can make this possible is Rhinoplasty in India performed by Dr. Parag Telang, a popular FFS surgeon at Designer Bodyz.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is an operation designed to change the nose's shape, size, and proportions and in some cases improve breathing. It may be performed to fix issues from a nose injury, to correct a congenital nose defect, or improve some breathing issues. Therefore, it serves both purposes: cosmetic and medical.
What happens in rhinoplasty surgery?
The upper part of the nose is made up of bone and its lower part is composed of cartilage. Rhinoplasty helps in changing the bone, cartilage, and/or skin. The surgery may be performed in two ways: Open and Closed. In open rhinoplasty, the incision is made externally between the nostrils, at the base of the nose. In closed rhinoplasty, the cut is made inside the nose. Through the incision, the surgeon readjusts the bones and cartilage underneath the nose skin.
The reshaping of the nose can be done in several ways, including adding or taking out the bones and cartilage or skin. This depends upon the patient’s nasal structure and available materials. For small changes in the nose, the cartilage may be taken from either deep inside the nose or from the ear. In case of larger nose deformities, the surgeon would take rib cartilage, implants, or bone from other body parts. Once the required changes are made in the nose, the surgeon places back the nasal tissues and the skin. Finally, the incision is sewn together.
For making breathing easier, the surgery involves straightening the bent, crooked or deviated nose septum.
How does rhinoplasty help in facial feminization?
Rhinoplasty surgery can help make the nose look more feminine by reducing the nose width and lifting the nasal tip. For nose feminization, the surgeon focuses on narrowing and lifting the nose tip.
