Rhinoplasty
Articles and resources for Rhinoplasty in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure aimed at altering the shape or function of the nose. People often consider rhinoplasty for various reasons, including aesthetic desires to enhance facial symmetry or correct perceived imperfections. Additionally, some individuals seek this surgery to address functional issues, such as breathing difficulties caused by structural abnormalities or injuries.
The procedure typically involves either an open or closed approach, depending on the extent of the changes desired. In an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils, allowing for greater visibility and access. In a closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made within the nostrils, which may lead to less visible scarring. The surgeon reshapes the bone and cartilage to achieve the desired outcome, and the procedure usually lasts a few hours, followed by a recovery period that varies from person to person.
The benefits of rhinoplasty can include improved facial harmony, enhanced self-esteem, and better breathing function. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries potential risks, such as infection, scarring, or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic results. It’s important for individuals to have realistic expectations and to discuss their goals and concerns thoroughly with a qualified surgeon to understand the possible outcomes and complications.
