All About Your Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic surgery is so popular that thousands of people have some form of it done each year. With the need to feel and look perfect, the pressure is on to be the most attractive person around. Some people are more concerned with the way their body looks, other people are more concerned about their facial features. One of the most commonly changed features on the face is the nose. You would be surprised about the number of people who have had a rhinoplasty. In the rhinoplasty procedure, the nose is surgically reconstructed to look more appealing.

Did you know that the first nose job was first performed in ancient India around 800 B.C? Even in ancient times, people were looking to alter their appearance and by changing the way their nose looked, they could create a whole new persona. Today, the nose job is one of the most performed elective surgeries in the world. There were over 100,000 nose jobs performed in 2011 in the United States alone. That number is expected to continue growing at an alarmingly fast rate during the next decade.

Rhinoplasty doesn't have to be done for purely cosmetic reasons. It can also be used to correct certain respiratory problems that are caused by structural defects to the bones and cartilage of the nose. Teenagers as young as 14 years old can receive rhinoplasty. According to the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons), at least twenty four percent of nose jobs are done on males. The procedure is very popular and men are getting them more frequently.

If you are considering getting a nose job, you should talk to your doctor and explain to them why you want the procedure and describe to them in detail the look you are trying to achieve. They will go into depth and explain which type of surgery can provide those results and how realistic your expectations are and should be.

Since you are going to be changing the shape and size of your nose, you are also changing the way your other facial features appear. Instead of having multiple procedures done, a nose job can give the impression that several procedures were performed. Many people who have a rhinoplasty are more confident in their appearance and have a much higher level of self-esteem.

Nose jobs do not cost as much as other forms of cosmetic surgeries. However, there are several different factors that go into providing an accurate picture of how much the procedure is going to cost. Depending on why the procedure is being done, where the procedure is being done, which surgeon you are using and the type of nose job surgery all can cause the cost to increase or decrease. There are financing options available so that it is affordable, no matter where you go.

So if you are looking to get your nose job anytime soon, take a look at all of your options and do some research before you book your procedure.
