Rhinoplasty

If you are unhappy with the size and shape of your nose, Rhinoplasty, also known as the nose reshaping surgery, is a welcomed cosmetic solution. Because the nose is one of the most prominent facial features, altering its size and shape can have a tremendous impact on one’s appearance. When performed by a qualified cosmetic surgeon, Rhinoplasty can greatly improve the balance of facial features, helping patients discover newfound confidence.

How will Rhinoplasty Benefit Me?

Rhinoplasty can have tremendous aesthetic benefits for patients who are unhappy with appearance of their natural nose. By altering the size and shape of the nose, this surgery can positively affect the balance of facial features. Patients who undergo this procedure often feel more confident about their appearance and may experience a boost in self esteem. Nose reshaping surgery has functional benefits as well, and is effective solution for patients who suffer from certain breathing difficulties.

Are There Risks Associated with Rhinoplasty?

As with all surgical procedures, there are risks involved with rhinoplasty. Bleeding, infection, and reactions to medication or anesthesia are possible side effects of a nose job. In addition, there are several risks that are unique to nose reshaping surgery. These include burst blood vessels that can lead to red spots and small scars on the underside of the nose. Patients also run the risk of being unhappy with the results of the surgery. In those cases, revision rhinoplasty may be performed. Choosing a qualified cosmetic surgeon will reduce the risk of complications.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect?

While some results of rhinoplasty can be seen shortly after surgery, the full effect of a nose job can take up to 1 year to develop. After swelling has subsided, patients will have a better idea of the final result. The amount of change that occurs following surgery is dependent on the treatment performed by your plastic surgeon. Even so, slight changes to the structure of the nose-sometimes as little as a few millimeters- can produce drastic and pleasing results. Scarring associated with nose reshaping surgery is minimal, and in the case of closed rhinoplasty surgery, is limited to the inside of the nose. To ensure satisfactory healing, it is important to follow your physician’s instructions for post-operative care.
