Rhinoplasty: Rhinoplasty Surgery is one of the most popular and most requested plastic surgeries around the world. With rhinoplasty surgery, noses can be reshaped, their sizes can be changed and they can have different angles. Tips can be replaced when correcting bumps, indentations and other defects.
Since rhinoplasty surgeries often significantly change a person’s facial appearance, men and women around the world often choose to have rhinoplasty to remove unwanted appearance and features on their noses.
Rhinoplasty is not always performed solely for aesthetic and cosmetic reasons. Surgery is also used to correct structural abnormalities within the nose, including a deviated septum that can cause breathing problems. Nasal discharge, chronic congestion and even snoring are usually resolved through outpatient rhinoplasty procedures.
It is Important to Choose the Right Doctor for Rhinoplasty!
Patients who are excited about the possibility of having a new nose that looks aesthetically good and functions better may miss some important points about the pre-nasal surgery, surgical procedure and recovery processes.
What Kind of Doctor Should Be Chosen for Rhinoplasty?
It is important that the doctor who will perform the nose surgery is highly qualified and experienced, specializing in nose aesthetics. Begin your investigation by investigating his educational and medical history. The surgeon must be board certified and have practiced for many years, preferably with concentration and a proven track record of many successful facial plastic surgeries.
Being a member of a plastic surgery board or society and having relevant work published in peer-reviewed journals are other desirable professional qualifications. Don’t hesitate to ask the doctor how many rhinoplasty he performs each month compared to other plastic surgery procedures. In this case, more is definitely better. Remember that a specialist surgeon should be able to correct the deformities in the nose and make the nose look great, while also preserving the nose-airway function.
Establish a Good Relationship with the Doctor Who Will Perform the Nose Surgery
Beyond being confident in their qualifications, patients should feel comfortable communicating with the surgeon and discussing their questions and concerns about rhinoplasty during the initial consultation. They should be able to discuss why they want to have the procedure done. Are they looking for a more symmetrical nose? Frustrated by an ugly flat spot? Annoyed by a ledge near the tip?
It is very important that patients have realistic expectations about the expected outcome of rhinoplasty, especially in terms of their appearance. It cannot be emphasized enough that patients and surgeons must be on the same page when it comes to the intended surgical goals, as results largely depend on the anatomy of the nose.
Learn Your Doctor’s Revision Rhinoplasty Rates
Even if rhinoplasty surgery is performed by a highly qualified and skilled surgeon, complications arising from external deformities and breathing problems may occur. These may require a second surgery, called revision rhinoplasty, at a later date. Because of the scarring and tissue loss from the initial surgery, these secondary surgeries can be particularly challenging.
If a surgeon’s experience with revision has been largely successful, he or she is likely a good candidate to perform your rhinoplasty. However, if other patients return frequently for revision, this may be a clue that the surgeon does not have extensive rhinoplasty experience or has a history of producing unimpressive results.
Ask to See Before and After Photos
Correct proportion is very important in nose aesthetics. Be sure to review the surgeon’s before-and-after photos of previous patients or his online portfolio, paying particular attention to whether the noses appear proportional to the faces. Also make sure that revision-rhinoplasty photos are included in the mix. Photo examples should inspire confidence that the doctor’s aesthetic is similar to what you think is attractive and attractive.
Talk to Your Rhinoplasty Doctor’s Patients
If possible, ask your surgeon to put you in touch with patients who have had rhinoplasty before. By having the opportunity to speak with them candidly, you should be able to gauge their experience with the doctor and their impressions of their results.
Follow What Your Doctor Says for a Successful Result
To optimize the likelihood of successful rhinoplasty results, patients should carefully follow their surgeon’s pre- and postoperative instructions. Changes made during surgery are specific to each patient and their facial features.
The surgeon will detail the healing process, during which patients may experience mild to moderate pain, as well as bruising and swelling around the eyes and cheeks. Symptoms are often relieved with over-the-counter and prescription medications. Be sure to follow the wound care instructions provided and recommendations for limiting activity levels.
It is important to attend all follow-up appointments, even if you feel fully recovered. Proper and thorough healing takes time, and it may take up to two years for your nose to reach its final post-operative form. Being patient will play an important role in achieving the results you want.
