Rhinoplasty – Fixing Your Profile

A distinguished profile might be okay for some people. For most people it is not the desired effect they want to portray. While having a large nose can be less than aesthetically pleasing it’s not something that has to plague your every thought. If it is something that you just really want to change about yourself there is good news, it is a relatively simple fix. Having rhinoplasty performed might be the way for you to get the nose that you want.

A rhinoplasty is just the scientific term for what is more commonly known as a “nose job”. During this procedure you will be sedated. Your doctor will then make incisions so that he can determine how to make the desired changes to your nose. He will reshape it by either restructuring the bone and cartilage or either, sometimes the bone or cartilage may not be altered. If you don’t want to be all the way under during your procedure you do have that option. Some doctors do have a local anesthetic option for you to choose from.

Depending on what you want your rhinoplasty to accomplish you might be able to have the “close” incision option. This simply means that instead of making the cuts on the outside of the nose they are done on the inside of the nostril. While this might be a preferred method to minimize the appearance of any scars, it all depends on how much work you will be requiring. If you are overly worried that there may be a scar, even if it is small, you might want to speak with your doctor about this option of surgery.

Many people think of rhinoplasty as just making your face look a little better. While that might be the top reason that the surgery is performed it’s not the only reason/. Some breathing issues can come from malformations of the nose. To correct these issues this type of procedure maybe performed. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, it happens. You will be able to breathe better and you will end up looking great.

When you go see your doctor for your consultation you will need to have an idea of what you want to accomplish. Don’t worry though, a qualified doctor will help you make sure the decision is right for you. He won’t let you get a new nose that doesn’t fit within the symmetry of your face. If you want something done that is not possible a good doctor will be there to reel you in and offer you an alternative, something that will look good and you will be happy with in the end.

Rhinoplasty surgery can make you feel better about yourself. While a distinguished profile might be perfectly fine for some people you don’t have to live with it if you don’t want to. If this is something that bothers you or a malformation makes it difficult for you to breathe then you might want to visit with your doctor.
