Reasons for a Rhinoplasty Surgery

The nose makes the face, and rhinoplasty surgery might be necessary to shape it the best way. A symmetric, architectural nose can make you appear more distinguished: more rugged or a classic beauty. A small slope to the nose bone and a rounded bulb of cartilage on the tip adds to a face of cute features, of any size. Meanwhile, asymmetry, oblong angles, a raised bone in the nose bridge, or the reveal of more nostril than you are comfortable with can lead to complications with one’s self-image.

On one hand, you may be dealing with a progressive congenital nasal structure defect that’s been diminishing your quality of air. On the other hand, you may have experienced some type of trauma due to sport or accident that has damaged the nose in some way that affected its function or appearance. Not only will these circumstances affect your appearance, it can alter how you view yourself in the world. The rhinoplasty procedure can make the slightest adjustments within the nasal structure or the grandest shave, nip, shape, and tuck to achieve your desired results.

A rhinoplasty surgery is a cosmetic procedure that can be performed with local or general anesthesia. This surgery can accompany other procedures such as a face lift or liposuction, or it can be performed alone. Like all cosmetic surgeries, you may be referred by your general practitioner if there is a structural or functional issue that you’d like to address; or you may seek a surgeon on your own for personal improvement. It is highly recommended to research and inquire about your surgery and your surgeon’s level of expertise (education and training) with that particular procedure. The doctor will use typical scalpel, scissor, and laser tools for small incisions outside of and within the nose to diminish the potential for scarring.

The decision to carry out a rhinoplasty can be a life altering one. It can be either the last step in a massive make over or the one minor detail. As a part of a complete face lift, you may opt for a nose that is more aligned with the more youthful repositioning of the muscles of your face. You may simply have the doctor refine the shape of the end of your nose to accompany cheek and chin implants to offer your appearance more structure. A rhinoplasty may also accompany mandatory nasal surgeries as an additional aesthetic improvement to first function and then form.

Regardless of the plethora of personal reasons to undergo a rhinoplasty, it is important to evaluate your surgeon’s previous work through his or her portfolio of before and after pictures. You will be able to observe their familiarity and attention to detail in ethnic noses or specific bone or breathing issues. A selection of photos may be available on their website but you will definitely be able to view physical photos filed and on display in his or her office. On the one hand, celebrity noses that you admire are helpful to narrowing down your desired effect, but your surgeon will be personally familiar with the patients he or she altered in the photos. Therefore, during your introductory consultation, your physician will be able to explain how he or she will manipulate, contour, and/or reduce your nose to your ideal form and function. Once you know what your want out of the procedure the right surgeon will work with your nose to bring forth an appealing facsimile.
