A Nose Surgery, also known as rhinoplasty, is a popular procedure both in men and women. The procedure may have solely a cosmetic purpose, to improve the appearance of the patient, but may also have functional purposes. The surgery will involve moving or eliminating bones or parts of the bones that make up the nose. Here are 5 reasons to opt for this procedure:
1. Improve Appearance
The number one reason people get a Nose Surgery is to improve appearance. The nose can play an important role in determining if a person is attractive, and according to some beauty canons, a beautiful nose should be of a certain size (no more than 30% of the entire face) and have a particular shape.
The Nose Surgery can remove bones and change the structure of the nose without affecting its function. By getting a simple Nose Surgery, the appearance of the entire face will be changed, as the nose is a central piece and is typically the first point of the face that is noticed when looking at a face.
2. Improve Function
Certain imperfections of the nose may also be due to a structural problem, which can hinder proper function. The patient may have trouble breathing, especially when he has a cold or a respiratory infection, and may also suffer from sleep apnea.
There are multiple structural problems that may affect the nose, but the most common is a deviated septum. A deviated septum may be a congenital disorder, but may also be acquired, and this not only ruins the appearance of the nose, but will also cause breathing problems in some people.
A deviated septum may also lead to additional problems such as:
- Snoring or sleep apnea
- Frequent nose bleeds
- Migraines
Getting a Nose Surgery can repair the deviated septum and can eliminate all these problems. This particular Nose Surgery is also known as septoplasty.
3. Improve Self Esteem
A disproportionate nose can cause a number of self esteem problems, and unlike other small imperfections, the nose cannot be hidden or covered with makeup. A Nose Surgery will modify the appearance of the face and the patient can regain confidence.
4. The Solution Is Permanent
If successful, the Nose Surgery is a permanent solution. Once the structure of the nose is modified, it will stay like this for good. However, powerful blows to the nose should be avoided.
No touch-up surgeries are needed. The plastic surgeon will schedule a follow up visit to ensure the results are as expected and that there are no surgery complications.
5. Outpatient Surgery
The Nose Surgery is an uncomplicated surgery that may take up to 2 hours. However, most Nose Surgeries take less than 60 minutes and are performed as an outpatient procedure.
