By doing your own research on cosmetic nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, you’ve already taken the first step towards improving your appearance or breathing.  In order to determine whether this is right for you, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.  A consultation will allow you to learn more about cosmetic or reconstructive nose surgery and let you determine if this will fulfill your personal goals.  It’s a non-pressured meeting in which you can discuss your expectations.  If you are a good candidate, your physician will lay out the options available for your nose surgery.  He / she will set your expectations for the final results and explain the risks and complications that may result, before recommending the best course of action.  This consultation is also your chance to ask any questions you may have before moving forward.

Cosmetic Nose Surgery – Evaluation

Nose surgery is not a new procedure and it’s helped many people look and feel more confident.  However, it is not a procedure for everyone.  During the consultation with your plastic surgeon, your overall health and outlook will be evaluated as these factors play a great role in the results of your surgery.  To help your surgeon successfully satisfy your goals, it’s important that you be open and honest about what you want to achieve.  Be open about the concerns you have regarding the appearance or functionality of your nose.  Disclose all relevant medical information including health history, current vitamin, supplement, medication, tobacco, alcohol, and / or drug use.  It’s also pertinent that you follow all instructions in order to achieve maximum results.

Cosmetic Nose Surgery – Safety

Nose surgery is a major procedure.  To ensure your personal safety, do your research and consult with a board certified surgeon.  Be sure to find a plastic surgeon that you’re comfortable with and is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.  Only plastic surgeons certified by one of these two organizations are specifically trained to perform surgical procedures on the face and body.

My Cosmetic Nose Surgery

Cosmetic nose surgery is a procedure custom designed to fit your facial features.  Your plastic surgeon will take in to account your current features, goals for change, and any medical conditions as it relates to your case.  If plastic nose surgery is appropriate for you, specific procedures used during the surgery process may include:  reshaping or alteration of the nasal bridge, reshaping of the nasal tip, reducing the shape or width of the nose, reducing the size of the nostrils, or adjusting the angle between the nose and the mouth.

If you’re looking to achieve a more symmetrical nose, keep in mind that everyone’s face is asymmetrical to some extent.  Final results may not be 100% symmetric, but you will have a more proportionate nose.  For some people, facial augmentation may provide that extra symmetry desired.

The process for reconstructive nose surgery is also a personalized procedure.  Plastic surgeons carefully evaluate an individual’s nasal structure and understand how it affects that person’s breathing and airflow before moving forward.  Most commonly, those with a deviated septum require adjusting the nasal structure for better alignment in order to improve breathing.
