Shop Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is designed to refine and reshape the nose. This procedure is used for both cosmetic purposes and rectifying nasal obstruction, asymmetry, and septal deviations.
Cosmetic Purposes
Rhinoplasty surgery, also called a nose job, is designed to change the appearance of the nose and create a more aesthetically appealing shape. Many individuals opt for minor changes and adjustments, such as refining the tip of the nose or contouring the bridge. Other clients opt for more extensive surgeries that significantly alter their nose’s natural size and shape.
Correcting Physical Abnormalities
Individuals who experience breathing difficulties due to nasal abnormalities or injuries may opt for rhinoplasty in order to improve these issues. Chronic inflammation caused by allergies may also be improved with surgical intervention. Rhinoplasty can be used to treat issues such as nasal polyps, deviated septum, or turbinate hypertrophy, all of which can contribute to the worsening of allergy symptoms.
What Does the Procedure Entail?
Rhinoplasty is customized to each patient. The nose is composed of cartilage, bone, and soft tissue. Any of these can be trimmed or otherwise altered to improve the shape of the nose. Therefore, a rhinoplasty procedure can be as minor or extensive as necessary to achieve a client’s desired results.
A nose job can fix the following functional and cosmetic issues:
- Asymmetry/Crooked Nose
- Disproportionately Sized Nose
- Deviated Septum
- Low, Hanging Nasal Tip
- Nasal Polyps
- Disproportionately Sized or Asymmetrical Nostrils
- Hump on Nasal Bridge
- And More
The first step of a rhinoplasty procedure entails peeling back the skin to get to the nasal structures beneath. From there, your cosmetic surgeon will begin removing or restructuring tissue and bone to create a more refined shape and appearance.
Incisions are small and placed in areas that generally cannot be seen, such as beneath the nose, where the scar is virtually unnoticeable once fully healed.
Good Candidates
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose, or have breathing difficulties that may be improved with surgery.
Some issues commonly faced by candidates for rhinoplasty include a drooping nasal tip, deviated septum, asymmetry, a nose that is too large in comparison to the rest of the facial features, etc.
