Rhinoplasty is a common cosmetic surgery procedure that is performed to refine and reshape your nose to achieve a better balance in your facial structure and to also relieve any physical problems you may have that affect your breathing abilities. Rhinoplastys are performed on thousands of people every year with the ideal candidate being someone who is physically and psychologically healthy and has realistic expectations regarding the results of the surgery and what it will accomplish for them. Your Nose and Your Facial Structure Your nose should ideally fit your facial structure by being in balance with your upper, middle and lower face and not be surgically altered to copy a celebrity nose that looks like it was plopped in the middle of your face without regard for the uniqueness of you. Many factors contribute to and influence the size and shape of your reshaped nose and should include the structure of your nasal bones and cartilage, the shape of your face, the thickness of your skin, and your age. Your Nose and Breathing and Sinus Problems Rhinoplasty can also correct defects that can cause breathing and sinus problems. Breathing and sinus problems caused by a defect in the structure of the nose can cause headaches, pain, anxiety and depression. One of the most common reasons cited for nasal surgery is to correct a deviated septum to alleviate breathing problems. Some Facts to Contemplate Rhinoplasty typically takes one to two hours to perform on an out-patient basis, usually under general anesthesia, although local anesthesia with sedation is offered in some cases. On completion of the surgery swelling, bruising and tenderness may be noted which can be controlled with pain medication. Your results will be permanent and the recovery time normally lasts from two to four weeks. Complications from rhinoplasty are rare and usually minor but are the same as for any other surgical procedure and can include infection, bleeding and adverse reactions to the anesthesia and medications. After the Rhinoplasty You will experience some swelling and bruising after your rhinoplasty, but each day your reshaped nose will look better and better, and after a little time has passed the healing process will reveal a nose that enhances your face and is harmonious with your facial structure.
