What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty (RIEnoplastee) is surgery to change the configuration of the nose. The motivation for nasal work can be to change the nose’s look, improve breathing, or both. The upper part of the structure of the nose gets made up of bone, and the lower part gets made up of cartilage. Nose work can change bones, cartilage, skin, or all three. Talk to your specialist about whether a nose job is right for you and what you can achieve with it. The surgeon will study your more comprehensive facial features when planning a rhinoplasty. They examine your nasal skin and what you want to change. If you are an applicant for surgery, your surgeon will create a customized treatment for you.

Sometimes nasal work or facial surgery is partially or entirely covered by insurance.

Things considered before rhinoplasty

• Your medical history

The most vital questions your doctor asks you are your motive for surgery and your purposes. Your physician will also ask you about your medical histories, such as stuffy nose, surgery, or a medical history of the medication you are taking. If you have a blood clotting disorder like hemophilia, you may not apply for a nasal job.

• Physical examination

Your doctor will perform a complete physical test, including the following clinical examination, such as a Blood test. They also examine your characteristics and the inside and outside of your nose.

• Photo

Someone in the clinic will shoot your nose from various angles. Surgeons can use computer software to edit photos and show their results. Physicians use these photos for pre-and post-evaluation, intraoperative references, and long-term reviews. Above all, photography allows for a targeted discussion of surgical goals.

• A study of your expectations

You and your doctor should discuss your motivations and expectations. They will explain what nose work can and cannot do for you. They also tell you what your consequences will be. It’s natural to feel a little embarrassed about your appearance, but it’s crucial to speak openly to your surgeon about your wishes and goals for surgery.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

• Improves sleep

A common reason people choose to do a nose job is that they have sleep problems. Rhinoplasty can improve breathing. So, many people can sleep better after surgery. The work of the nose also helps to snore and get used to treating sleep apnea.

• Increase exercise

Exercise is one of the best ways to stay healthy, but it can be difficult if you have difficulty breathing. Rhinoplasty can make workouts much easier because it can remove stuffy noses that cause breathing problems.

• Reduce sinus problems 

Individuals can also relieve particular sinus problems such as headaches and a stuffy nose by doing nasal work. It is because sinus problems often get caused by obstruction of the nasal passages. Nose work can change the shape of the nose to fix these problems.

• Fix your broken nose 

Rhinoplasty is also useful for people who have recently had a broken nose. Nose work helps to restore a damaged nose to its pre-injury condition. Often, nasal work also reduces the pain associated with nasal fractures.

The health perks of rhinoplasty also help improve a person’s mental health beyond physical side effects. If you are dissatisfied with how your nose looks, rhinoplasty can change your appearance and increase your self-esteem.
