Without the classical stents that are very painful to keep and extract.

Stents are sponges or gauze pads of various lengths that are inserted into the nasal cavities to enhance hemostasis (blocking nosebleeds) and to hold the reshaped cartilage fragments in place. rhinoplasty methods.Unlike traditional methods rhinoplasty without stents makes the postoperative phase painless.

The tampons inserted in the nasal fossae immediately after the operation have to be removed after a day or two, making this procedure into a particularly painful moment in the post-surgery period. Besides, once they are removed from the nose, there is no guarantee that the nasal septum will be stabilized: in fact it may take at least 20 days for the scars to heal and acquire a certain resistance. 

This explains why rhinoplasty with stents is considered an outdated method and it has been proven that it is preferable to perform a suture instead, to ensure hemostasis and the resistance of cartilage: bruises are reduced to the minimum and the patient returns home the same day, breathing through his nose. The only protective dressing consists in a small metal splint positioned on the nose and held in place by an adhesive plaster.

Furthermore, suturing eliminates the discomfort of stents, ensures greater stability to the nasal structure also in case of trauma and is reabsorbed within a month without requiring further interventions to remove the stitches.
