What is rhinoplasty surgery?

Various types of cosmetic surgery have different levels of complexity and all of them significantly change the appearance... Rhinoplasty (cosmetic nose surgery) is recognized to be one of the most complex operations. It can improve both appearance and proportion of your nose – enhancing facial harmony and self-confidence. Cosmetic nose surgery may also improve a breathing problem or correct some defects being caused by trauma or a birth defect. After all - this plastic procedure may change the nose overall size, tip, bridge and nostrils. [1]

It’s important to realize that rhinoplasty is a highly individualized surgical operation. Therefore, it should be considered and planned while in advance, as well as, chosen without trying to fit into someone else's image. The reason is that all shapes greatly differ and cosmetic surgery initially serves to balance the patient’s appearance. In general, all the potential patients fall under the requirements below: 

• Facial growth is complete;

• There are no existent issues with the physical health;

• Ideally, potential patients do not smoke;

• The future patients have rather realistic goals on the appearance improvement [2]

When considering plastic nose surgery, it’s advised to choose certified plastic surgeon that holds both an extensive training and significant experience.
