Sculpt Your Nose To Perfection With Rhinoplasty

If you are not happy with the color of your hair, you may color it to your liking; if you do not like being overweight, you can go on a diet or try working out but what do you do if you do not like the shape or the size of your nose? You can go for Rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure, which can be used to reshape or resize your nose, anyway that you want. Rhinoplasty can be used to rectify many things – the most commonly performed procedures are to reduce the dorsal hump, narrow the gap between the nostrils, reduce the width of the nose, make the nasal bridge narrower or straighter and to change the angle between the upper lip and the nose.

Rhinoplasty need not be performed only for aesthetic reasons – it can be used for corrective purposes as well as in trying to rectify a birth defect or a deformity due to injury. Some patients who have breathing problems because of an obstruction in their nasal passageway also undergo Rhinoplasty, which clears this obstruction, and the patients can breathe freely. In recent times though, the use of Rhinoplasty to refine one’s nose has been rapidly growing in popularity. In fact, many a times, Rhinoplasty is performed along with a Face Lift procedure to combat the signs of aging.

If you have made up your mind to have Rhinoplasty and decided on a surgeon, the very first thing the surgeon will do is have an in-depth consultation session with you. In this he will evaluate, with your input, your decision to go in for Rhinoplasty. While he will try and understand what you expect from, or the kind of appearance you would like your nose to have after, the procedure, he will also give you an honest opinion on what can be done and what cannot be done. Towards the end of this session, once you have both agreed on what is realistically possible, your surgeon will more than likely take photographs of your nose from various angles to study further what needs be done during the course of the procedure.

If you manage to get photographs of noses that appeal to you, you can bring them with you when you meet with your surgeon the first time. This will help the surgeon understand what exactly you are talking about and also help him assess if it is realistic for you to expect to get such a nose from Rhinoplasty. Similarly, you could request your surgeon to show you photographs, preferably of former patients who have had similar procedures. In fact, having some before and after photos will really help you understand what kind of change you are looking at. Many surgeons’ offices now can also show you, through computer imaging, what your nose will probably look like after the procedure.

Rhinoplasty is a blessing for those with severe nose deformities or with breathing problems that can be rectified only through this procedure. However, even those who require subtle aesthetic changes in their nose, appreciate how Rhinoplasty can dramatically change their life for the better.
