Nasal reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the shape and function of the nose after injury, disease, or congenital defects. This type of surgery can involve various techniques, including skin grafts and tissue flaps, to rebuild the nasal structure and improve appearance. The procedure is often performed by a specialist known as a facial plastic surgeon or otolaryngologist. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the surgery, but patients typically experience swelling and bruising that gradually subsides, allowing for improved nasal function and aesthetics over time.
