Manual nose correction
This procedure for realigning the nose does not involve surgery: the doctor uses only his fingers during the process.
However, in some cases, special tools are used for manual correction. These include:
The main advantage of manual correction is its low invasiveness. This method is often used to treat small nasal fractures or to correct minor deformities. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia.
After completing the basic steps, the bone fragments are fixed. It is carried out internally or externally.
Internal fixation after nose correction provides support for bone and cartilage structures in the correct position, and also helps normalize breathing. In this case, soft tampons are inserted into the nasal passages. They support the structure of the nose from the inside. To reduce swelling and prevent infection, they are moistened with medications.
External fixation is aimed at maintaining the nose in the desired position from the outside. It promotes its proper healing and formation of the desired contour. In this case, a plaster cast is usually used - a rigid protection that is applied to the nose and part of the face. Its use allows you to maintain the shape of your nose after surgery. Sometimes, in combination with a plaster cast, splints are used - special devices that are fixed on the nose to maintain its shape.
