Rhinoplasty or commonly known as nose plastic surgery had been the major help for people who wanted to improve the structure of their nose. This method will alter the contour of the nose by increasing or reducing the size, changing the form of the bridge, taking away the bump, straighten the nose after trauma, or adjusting the position between the upper lip and the nose.
People turn to nose plastic surgery to modify the appearance of their nose in order to enhance their facial appearance or to correct a malformed nose. This method is done not only for aesthetic purposes; it can also help patients to have additional confidence and to alleviate breathing problems.
Nose plastic surgery has two possible approaches: the open approach and the closed approach. In open rhinoplasty incisions are made across the columella which is the skin that separates the nostrils, while in closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nostrils. During the surgery, the soft tissues and the skin of the nose are separated from the underlying structures. The bone and cartilage are then sculpted to the desired shape. The incisions are usually hidden inside the nose with a little incision across the base of the nose which can be seen as tiny dotted line.
After the surgery, bruises around the eyes can be seen for several days, the face will feel boated and the nose could swell for a few weeks. During the recovery period, the nose could be numb, painful, asymmetrical and crooked. Nearly all doctors would recommend applying cold compress over the eyes to lessen the swelling. Throughout the healing period, strenuous activities should be avoided to evade discomfort and complications. The final result can then be seen from the first 3 months up to the second year following the surgery.
The usual cost for nose plastic surgery ranges from $2,000 to $6,000. Nose plastic surgery could save and could change lives if done properly by a reputable surgeon. On the other hand, an inexpensive surgeon could present you with a lesser bill but could give you results with higher risks.
