Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a facial contouring procedure that aesthetically improves the shape of the nose. The procedure can make the nose smaller or larger, depending on the patient’s goals. Rhinoplasty is typically done as an outpatient procedure and takes about two hours to complete. The recovery time may take up to 10 days or longer.
Rhinoplasty is a popular aesthetic procedure that helps patients feel better about their overall facial appearance. Rhinoplasty is beneficial in increasing confidence in people who are unhappy with how their nostrils look in proportion to their faces. This is a common procedure where most patients recover well within a few weeks after treatment and endure very minimal side effects. In addition to enhancing the way an individual feels about his or her appearance, there are a number of functional benefits to rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery.
Nasal Breathing
Rhinoplasty is known to improve breathing problems by reshaping the structure of the nose. This is beneficial in treating airway obstructions, which may be caused by a variety of conditions, such as sinusitis, sinus headaches, asthma or nasal injuries.
Sleep Issues
Rhinoplasty helps to relieve conditions, like snoring or sleep apnea, that often cause nighttime breathing problems. Because rhinoplasty improves nasal airflow, people who experience these chronic sleep issues can benefit from this procedure.
Nose Abnormalities
Rhinoplasty can help minimize the appearance of structural defects of the nose. A cosmetic surgeon will customize the procedure to fit patient’s functional and aesthetic needs. Rhinoplasty can fix facial imbalances by reshaping its size and width.
Nasal Fracture
When the nose has endured trauma to the bone or cartilage, rhinoplasty surgery can alter the deformity to correct its nasal position on the face. Depending on the severity of the condition, it may be difficult for this procedure to work successfully. Septoplasty is also another option to treat a crooked nose.
