Rhinoplasty Before And After - Surgery And Recovery - Part II

by: Wendy Butler

Now that you have made the decision to undergo rhinoplasty and have prepared for your surgery, the next step is the rhinoplasty surgery itself and the after affects.

Rhinoplasty can be performed in the surgeon's office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or a hospital. Usually the surgery is performed on an outpatient basis but if it is a complicated rhinoplasty then you may be required to stay in the hospital.

You will either be under local or general anesthesia. Local anesthesia is when you are lightly sedated and your nose and the surrounding area is numb. You know what is going on but cannot feel what is happening to your nose. General anesthesia is when you sleep through the surgery and do not know what is happening.

Rhinoplasty surgery normally takes one to two hours unless it is a complex rhinoplasty. The rhinoplasty itself consists of the skin being separated from the bone and cartilage. The bone and cartilage are sculpted into the desired shape and the skin is then draped over the new nose framework. Most surgeons make the rhinoplasty incision inside the nose in the nostrils, but some surgeons prefer the "open" procedure where the incision is made in the middle part of the nose nearest the upper lip. There is a scar left but the scar is hardly noticeable in that area of your nose.

When your rhinoplasty is complete, the surgeon will place a splint on your nose to help it maintain its shape. Sometimes nasal packs or splint may be place in the nostrils as well.

After the rhinoplasty your face may be puffy, you may be experiencing pain, or you may have a dull headache. Take the medication prescribed by your Doctor as needed. Stay in bed with your head elevated for the first day after your rhinoplasty. There will be some swelling and bruising around your eyes and this swelling will reach its highest peak at 2-3 days after surgery. Cold compresses will reduce the swelling and make your eyes and face feel better. In a few days you will feel much better than you look as most swelling and bruising takes at least two weeks to disappear. A little bleeding is common after a rhinoplasty and you may have a "stuffy" feeling nose for a few weeks. Any nasal packing or stitches will be removed after a few days.

You will be up and feeling somewhat better within two days after your rhinoplasty. You should be able to return to school or sedentary work after a week or so. The Doctor will give you specific guidelines as to what you can return to and when during your follow-up visits. Follow the Doctor's instructions and keep your follow-up visits to ensure that your surgery is successful!

Let?s Start Screening For Breast Health

by: Brenda Witt

In the United States, American women are told to begin annual mammographic screening for breast cancer at the age of 40.
Long before we?ve reached this age, we are advised to perform a monthly breast exam and see our doctors for a clinical breast exam (CBE) annually as well.
However, the detection rate of breast cancer for CBE is only 47% when the tumors are less than 1 centimeter while mammography has given us a 70% detection rate.
By the time a tumor is detected by palpation or found mammographically, it has already been growing and developing for 8-10 years.

Mammography has a high false positive rate.
Only 1:6 biopsies are found to be positive for cancer when performed due to a positive mammogram or CBE.
This places additional stressors on women who undergo these procedures.

Other risks of mammography include the radiation that each breast...

What Is Nutmeg And What Can It Do For Me?

by: Chuck Mason

When we think of nutmeg, we probably bring to mind a glass of egg nog or fragrant holiday cookies.
Yet the nutmeg has a fascinating history, and the oil of nutmeg can be used for medicinal purposes. It comes from a tree in Asia that grows to about fifteen feet tall.
It has historically been used for medicinal purposes in China, and its use dates back as far as the fifth century.
The Caribbean Island of Grenada has taken nutmeg under its wing, producing nearly a third of the supply of the world?s nutmeg.

The nutmeg seed, however, is what gives us the spice of nutmeg.
The seed is made up in part by oils and cellulose like material that is sometimes used to make nutmeg butter.
Nutmeg oil comes from the seeds. Nutmeg oil is used in some surprising places.
Coca Cola uses it as a flavoring for the famous and very popular drink Coke.

How To Deal With Catastrophic Personal Injury Cases

It is always a good option to ask for specialized legal support in case of catastrophic injury cases. Some of the injuries may be catastrophic but if taken care of properly, chances are that the victim may recover excellently.
