Rhinoplasty - information, surgeons, prices

Browse the site to learn more about rhinoplasty risks including how to find the best nose reshaping surgeons who can minimize rhinoplasty complications.

Side effects and possible complications of rhinoplasty include:
• Pain
• Swelling
• Bruising
• The sensation of a 'stuffy' nose
• Numbness of the nose for a few months
• Delays in healing
• Sudden nose bleeds
• Infection

Rhinoplasty patients must remember that a broken nose, once healed, isn't as strong as a nose that's never been broken, which means it is at increased risk of fracturing again if a blow to the face is received. Patients should take all possible precautions, including wearing protective headgear while playing sports and using a seat belt when traveling in a car. Those who had rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons, must realize that their new nose may take up to six months to adjust to its final profile. However, a noticeable difference in the shape of the nose will be visible once the surgeon removes the dressing and nasal packs, seven days or so after the operation.

Rhinoplasty candidates should be aware that insurance coverage is frequently available when allergies, sinus problems, trauma, or accidental damage has occurred and is the reason for the procedure. Insurance policies generally don’t cover purely cosmetic surgery, however, if the procedure is for reconstructive purposes, or to correct a deformity, it may be covered. Rhinoplasty is considered elective when it is performed purely for cosmetic purposes, in order to change the shape of the nose to one the patient finds more desirable. Patients may wish to combine rhinoplasty with another cosmetic procedure to better fit their new nose.

Age may also be a consideration, as most surgeons prefer not to perform cosmetic rhinoplasty until the growth of the nasal bone is complete after 14 or 15 years of age. When performing rhinoplasty on teenagers, it's important to consider their social and emotional adjustment prior to the procedure. However, in some cases rhinoplasty may be required for medical purposes such as treating a serious breathing problem or an injury, and in these cases age is less of a factor.

Remember, rhinoplasty can enhance appearance and self-confidence!
