RHINOPLASTY

Page 2: Rhinoplasty

Men are using surgical options to change their noses in order to correct breathing issues and change their appearance in greater numbers today than ever before. Because an overly prominent nose is thought to draw too much attention to itself and overwhelm other parts of the face the largest proportion of male rhinoplasty patients are those requesting size reduction of their noses.

Still other men may be concerned about the overall shape of their noses, requesting a change because of unhappiness with the size of a dorsal hump in the center of the nose or a drooping nose. While rhinoplasty procedures for men and women are fairly similar, the main difference in the sexes is that males are advised to wait a bit longer to assure their features are mature before electing for a surgical intervention. The female face is considered done growing at roughly seventeen while men are advised to put of surgery until they are at least twenty.http://www.bestrhinoplasty.org/ar/rhinoplasty

Modern rhinoplasty involves more than just taking out tissue to decrease the size of a person's nose. A properly done rhinoplasty needs to be done by a surgeon who will be sure the nose as it is remade will blend with the patient's other facial features rather than just changing the nose to a desired model.

In order to create the best overall outcome and in some cases a more dramatic change in appearance male rhinoplasty patients may receive recommendations to add other cosmetic alterations such as a chin implant or even a full facelift along with the desired rhinoplasty.

Computer imaging is often used in pre-surgery consultations by plastic surgeons to help patients understand what changes may be made by a rhinoplasty operation, this way patients may see results before committing. This step in consultation allows the patient to understand the limitations of cosmetic surgery as well as the benefits so that he may be more confident going into the procedure with a full understanding of what he is committing to.

It is also the surgeon's duty to explain possible risks and side effects of cosmetic procedures such as infection, swelling, bruising, possible visible scarring, nerve damage, broken capillaries, excessive bleeding and complications with anesthesia. Information will also be shared with the patient as to how the patient and physician can become a team, working toward the best possible outcome and the smoothest, speediest recovery time.

If the patient is fit for and agrees to the details of his surgery plan his surgeon will then schedule the rhinoplasty procedure to be completed at a day surgery facility. Surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia and may take from one to three hours depending on the extent of the surgical work to be done.http://www.bestrhinoplasty.org/ar/rhinoplasty.php
