Rhinoplasty, also known as a facial procedure, is basically a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure that is used to reshape and repair the facial tissues and skin. There are basically two types of cosmetic plastic surgery performed on the face—reconstructive surgery, which restores the natural shape and function of a nose and aesthetic surgery that changes the overall look of a nose by reshaping it. Although both types of cosmetic plastic surgery are effective, patients who have had their noses surgically repaired should first determine the reason that has led to the procedure.
A facelift or rhinoplasty in general, repairs damaged facial tissue due to accidents, trauma, or disease that involves the facial skin. This includes the areas of the face such as the cheekbones, nose, upper lip, eyelids, chin, among other facial structures. Cosmetic surgeries can either be performed to correct deformities or to make a nose look better. Facelifts can be used to reshape the facial structure, while rhinoplasties can fix nasal deformities and improve the appearance of nasal skin folds.
One of the most popular reasons why people choose to have a rhinoplasty is to correct a deformity or disfigurement on the face. People with birth defects, such as cleft palate commonly have their noses modified in order to improve their appearance. While some may have suffered from traumatic injuries, such as being hit by a car, others have endured injuries to their face that have left them with scarring. For these individuals, rhinoplasty or nose job can help to eliminate the scarring and improve the shape of the affected area.
Before you have your face reshaped, you should contact a cosmetic plastic surgeon and schedule a consultation appointment. A cosmetic plastic surgeon can perform a number of different procedures, including rhinoplasty. Your cosmetic plastic surgeon will review your medical history and determine if you qualify for rhinoplasty.
When making the decision to get a rhinoplasty done, you will need to decide what your reasons are and what your different options will be. The decision should include deciding whether you are looking for a method of correcting a defect such as a cleft palate or one that will give you a more aesthetic look. Before making the final decision, talk to a cosmetic plastic surgeon and determine your options.
A lot of people find a cosmetic plastic surgery to be a good idea because it helps to improve the look of the face. In some cases, patients choose rhinoplasty so they can improve the shape and the balance of their face. If you have a high, droopy mouth, or an area of concern such as a double chin, a rhinoplasty or nose job might be the solution. Other people might get rhinoplasty simply because they need a change in their overall look.
Rhinoplasty or nose job is an important procedure that should not be taken lightly. There are risks involved, and the results may not always be what you had hoped for. Please contact us for a free consultation with a high skilled, certified plastic surgeon.
