Nose surgery
Rhinoplasty: A nose knows
Your nose is the most prominent feature on your face. When asked, this is the feature most people would change about themselves. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty surgery can offer a solution. It improves upon the natural appearance of the nose without impeding breathing. In some cases, the surgery may actually help a breathing problem.
Several things can be accomplished with nose surgery. A broken nose that has healed in a crooked position could be straightened. In addition, bumps on the bridge of the nose can be removed. The nasal tip can be reduced or enlarged for a more natural look. However, there are limitations as to what can be accomplished. The surgeon works from your existing nose structure. The nose surgery will improve upon your features; it will not radically change them.
This is surgery and comes with risks. There are no guarantees. After the surgery, bumps or other changes may appear due to unexpected disruption of the healing process. In addition, some patients have reported reddening of the skin, in the surgical area.
Every person and every nose is unique. Results will vary between patients. Be sure to have a very open dialogue with your physician prior to any procedure. As this is considered cosmetic surgery, in most cases you will be responsible for the entire cost. Carefully consider all of your options and be realistic. Rhinoplasty can produce amazing results; however, if your nose knows it will not be perfect.
