Vein-Detector-Assisted Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, also known as “nose job” or “nose reshaping”, enhances facial harmony and the proportions of the nose. It can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose.

Rhinoplasty treats the nose size to achieve more facial balance, nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge, as it also treats nasal tips that are enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned or hooked, and nostrils that are large, wide or upturned or more nasal symmetry.

How can Rhinoplasty be performed?

Generally, rhinoplasty can be performed using two techniques internal and external. The external approach uses an incision along the undersurface of the nasal columella (between the nasal openings). This will lead to a small scar that usually goes unnoticeable. The internal approach is performed inside the nose with no nasal external incision.

Many cosmetic surgeons consider rhinoplasty the most individualized operation in plastic surgery since no two noses are alike and not one or two procedures will be applicable on two different noses. Surprises such as cracked or buckled cartilage and scar tissue make this operation challenging for even the most seasoned surgeon.

Having the necessary qualifications and experience can be not enough, sometimes. For this reason, doctors should always keep in mind that unexpected complications can occur during such surgeries. To reduce the probability of damaging the veins and tissues around the nose, surgeons can rely on the guidance of a vein finder, which represents a great addition to a surgery room. 

A vein finder, such as SIFVEIN-7.11 can give the anatomy of veins, arteries, and tissues beneath the skin. Since any adherent injury on the face can turn into a real disaster, whose consequences cannot be easily contained.

The SIFVEIN-7.11 vein finder plays the role of mine-detector in a minefield that guides plastic surgeons’ rasps and needles to the right spot. Moreover, Surgeons can guarantee a highly professional and secure treatment for their patients by the use of this near-infrared device. It comes with a trolley which makes it easy to set up and use throughout the whole rhinoplasty surgery and most cosmetic procedures.
