Alter the appearance or function of the nose

June 20th, 2012

Nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) is a surgical procedure which alters the appearance or function of the nose, “rhinoplasty” requires subtle refinement, not drastic alteration.  Rhinoplasty, also known as “nasal surgery,” this plastic surgery procedure aims to improve the shape and size of your nose. Some plastic surgeons believe that the old-fashioned “nose job,” which typically resulted in one standard result, is a thing of the past. Today, patients can undergo subtle refinements that complement the entire face, improving conditions such as a:

Bulbous tip
Wide bridge, or large dorsal hump
Malformed or asymmetric tip
Deviated septum or other breathing problems

Rhinoplasty surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure and most patients return to their normal routine in about a week and should avoid strenuous activity for two weeks.  Within the next few months following surgery, the nose’s shape will continue to improve and the final results become more evident.  Patients have follow up appointments  to have their healing and progress monitored.

There are many applications for this procedure.  Rhinoplasty can be performed to alter nasal size or shape whether it is traumatic or genetically acquired. Unattractive nasal features such as a wide bulbous tip, wide nasal bridge, large dorsal hump, malformed/asymmetric tip, crooked nose, or a deviated septum causing breathing problems are readily correctable through rhinoplasty surgery.  If you are someone looking to enhance the appearance and function of their nose, contact a plastic surgeon on www.lookingyourbest.com
