Is It Right For Me?
Considering a rhinoplasty nose job? A nose surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfil someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. Surgery of the nose is a good option for you if:
· Your facial growth is complete and you are 18 years of age
· You are physically healthy
To get an idea of the appearance of the nose post-surgery, there is a plastic surgery simulator which is free. However, this only quickly shows what you face would look like with a thinner nose from the front. Another simulation tool is available online is facetouchup.com you do have to pay a small fee to this company, but we have found that the simulations are quite good, particularly when patients are unhappy with their side profiles. Please remember these tools are only a guide and no cosmetic surgeon should use these tools to state exactly what a nose will look like post surgery. But they might help you in making this important decision and form a better idea of what you would like to achieve.
Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems. Rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence.
Cosmetic nasal surgery is performed in cases of innate or acquired deformations of the nasal bone or cartilage. Sometimes the procedure may involve surgery on just the soft part of the nose (cartilaginous tissue). In other cases, more extensive correction is required (covering both cartilage and bone). Most procedures allow for incisions located in the nostrils – this technique eliminates the risk of any visible postoperative scars. Correction of certain deformations, however, requires incisions of the columnella, or at the margin between the wings of the nostrils and the cheek. The surgery, depending upon its extent, may be performed under local, or general anaesthesia.
