There are two categories of cosmetic plastic surgery employed in rhinoplasty: reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, which changes the look of the nose.

Reconstructive rhinoplasty is performed to correct certain aesthetic or functional deficiencies of the nose; cosmetic rhinoplasty is usually undertaken to alter a nose which may be deformed due to genetic factors.

Nose jobs are now covered by insurance in the United States and many private patients are now seeking rhinoplasty due to dissatisfaction with their nose shape.

This operation is performed by plastic surgeons who are qualified professionals and meet specific standards of education and experience in order to provide you with the most satisfactory results possible.

Patients who are considering a nose job surgery generally have very good expectations regarding the final outcome.

They desire a nose which they can be proud of and comfortable with.

Most patients want to retain their natural nose shape and function properly.

Patients also want to avoid any post-operative complications such as breathing problems, deformities, asymmetry, and excessive skin irritation.

Patients who undergo this cosmetic procedure are usually satisfied with the outcome and the transformation of their appearance.

There are several areas which are commonly improved during rhinoplasty including the increase of facial volume, reduction of nasal recession, improvement of the external nasal sidewall, reduction of the internal prominence of the nose, and the lengthening of the nasal bridge.

Other common improvements include enhancing the tip of the nose, straightening the nasal sidewalls, increasing the nasal tip depth, repositioning of the eye balls to improve the external visual field, straightening the chin forward, and improving the genioplasty of the nose by lifting the upper lip.

Many patients who undergo a nose job surgery are very pleased with the results.

Patients who decide to undergo a nose job surgery do so because of problems that are present with their nasal characteristics.

They may suffer from a deviated septum, over-bites, chronic sinus infections, facial scars, excessive skin irritation, or excessive fat deposits.

When determining the appropriate procedure for you, your plastic surgeon will take all these issues into consideration.

Although any of these conditions may exist, if your goal is achieving a symmetrical balance of the facial features, then nasal reduction may be an appropriate procedure for you.

Rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance, boost your self-esteem, and even increase your life quality.

A nose job surgery can be done to correct several issues such as deviated septum, breathing difficulties, excessive skin irritation, excessive fat deposits, crooked nose, and over-bites.

In fact, many patients who have considered this cosmetic procedure choose it not only to enhance their appearance, but also to improve their breathing capabilities.

In fact, many individuals who have this procedure choose it not only to correct minor aesthetic issues, but they may choose to have a full rhinoplasty procedure.

Because it can address several breathing and facial challenges, many patients choose to undergo nose surgery.

Before and after nose job surgery, your plastic surgeon will carefully evaluate the structural changes that have occurred.

The incision areas will be cleaned and sealed using sterile equipment to prevent infection and to ensure proper healing.

The cartilage that is removed from the nose is replaced and reattached to its normal position within the nasal cavity.

During the procedure, a small incision is made and the prosthetic nose insert is placed into the incised area.

Once the prosthetic nose insert is in place, the cartilage is tightened to form a new nose.

By using standard anesthesia, the cartilage is tightened and secured around both nostrils.

Since excess tissue must be removed along with the bone structure, many patients are advised to abstain from consuming alcohol or smoking for a day or two before and after the procedure.

This is to allow sufficient time for all of the excess tissue to be removed and the nasal bones to heal.

After nose job surgery, you should expect to experience some swelling, temporary pain, and altered sense of smell.

In addition, your nasal bones may ache when they heal.

Since all of these changes are temporary, they are easily adjusted.

Most patients report improved senses and comfort immediately following rhinoplasty surgery.
