Summary
The name of plastic surgery isn't taken from the synthetic substance, but
from the Greek word plastikos, which means to form or mold (and which gives
the material plastic its name as well).
Plastic surgery is a special type of surgery that can involve both a person's
appearance and ability to function. Plastic surgeon strive to improve patients'
appearance and self-image through both reconstructive and cosmetic
procedures.
Rhinoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia,
depending on the exact procedure and the patient's preference. It is performed

in a surgeon's office, a hospital, or an outpatient surgery center. Complex

procedures may require a short hospital stay. The procedure usually takes 1 to 2
hours. It may take longer.
With local anesthesia, the nose and the area around it is numbed. You will
probably be lightly sedated, but awake during the surgery (relaxed and not
feeling pain). General anesthesia allows you to sleep through the operation.
The surgery is usually done through a cut (incision) made inside the
nostrils. In some cases, the cut is made from outside, around the base of the
nose. This type of cut is used to perform work on the tip of the nose or if you
need a cartilage graft.
A splint (metal or plastic) may be placed on the outside of the nose. This
helps maintain the new shape of the bone when the surgery is finished. Soft
plastic splints or nasal packs also may be placed in the nostrils. This helps keep
the dividing wall between the air passages (septum) stable.
