Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, has become a fairly popular procedure in recent years. The tools of rhinoplasty offer patients the ability to completely reshape the nose to their liking, providing an opportunity for improvement in the harmony and balance of one’s facial features. The procedure begins with an incision inside the nostrils, after which the surgeon reshapes the cartilage. A proper rhinoplasty procedure will lead to facial symmetry and increased self-esteem.
There are several benefits to a having a rhinoplasty surgery performed:
A cosmetic plastic surgeon can correct a crooked nose, alleviate breathing difficulties and adjust any structural problems. After recovery, patients report higher self-esteem and confidence.
Recovery for rhinoplasty patients is not grueling. There is no overnight stay involved, though the patient does receive general or local anesthesia. Following a rhinoplasty procedure, patients begin to experience less swelling after three days; however, the entire recovery process lasts about two weeks. In the meantime, bruising around the eyes is a common side effect. When planning a rhinoplasty surgery, schedule it during a time where you can recover at home at your own ease and comfort levels.
