10 Ways to Benefit From Rhinoplasty

10 Ways to Benefit From RhinoplastyBreathe Easy

Rhinoplasty is the term assigned to a nose surgery performed for an aesthetic outcome, though plastic surgeons can also improve the function of the nose through functional rhinoplasty. Also termed septoplasty, this surgery aims to restore symmetry to the nasal airways so each nostril intake and exhalation occurs effortlessly. A deviated septum, often caused by blunt force trauma, creates unnatural curvature in the tissues separating the airways. This fix can be part of an aesthetic rhinoplasty, or performed alone for strictly medical purposes.

Treat Sinus Issues

Aside from discomfort while breathing, a deviated septum can lead to long term sinus issues. When the nose cannot properly drain fluids due to swelling, the aftermath of colds and allergies can create a perpetual cycle of sinus infection. Mucus accumulates inside swollen tissues, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria.Repair of a deviated septum or other procedures for sinusitis may be necessary to treat a cyclical issue.

Sleep Easy

Functional rhinoplasty can be performed on patients who suffer from sleep apnea, a dangerous sleeping disorder that can cause patients to halt respiration during unconscious hours. Normal airflow through the nostrils can also treat nighttime snoring, which is equally disruptive for the sufferer and their bedmate. When the nose functions properly, a person’s can enjoy overall improved health, beginning with a full night’s sleep.

Change Your Looks

The nose holds the center spot on the face and is a projecting feature, which may be why rhinoplasty is the most commonly requested plastic surgery procedure. When the nose displays even minor imperfections, a person’s looks can be negatively impacted. A nose job surgery can decrease the size and prominence of the nose, or refine its shape. Rhinoplasty can be performed surgically for the most transformative look, or as a non-surgical procedure through the use of injectable fillers. If there are any imperfections in the features, such as asymmetry or a dorsal hump, the skin-plumping agent can create long lasting changes. It should be noted, however that while a rhinoplasty is permanent, the results from dermal injections must be repeated every several months to maintain the new look.

Alter Others’ Perception of You

The nose undergoes significant changes from childhood to adulthood, many of which can serve as age giveaways. Children often outgrow their button noses, while the elderly may notice that their nasal tips become droopy. It is during the time somewhere in between that people seek cosmetic corrections to this facial feature, especially if the look of the nose causes a person to appear older or younger than they actually are, disrupting the harmony of the face. When a person feels that the look of the nose creates imbalance, a rhinoplasty may be the aesthetic solution.

Appear Younger than You Are

Because nasal cartilage continues to grow throughout a person’s lifetimeand gravity acts upon all areas of the body, the nose changes dramatically with age. Other tissue and skin conditions can affect the feature, causing it to appear large and bulbous or very prominent. Rhinoplasty can have an anti-aging effect when a nose surgery is performed to undo what time has imposed upon the face.

Change the Relative Proportions of the Chin

If a patient seeks correction to the lower face but does not wish to accomplish this through a chin augmentation, rhinoplasty can alter a person’s looks from a side profile view. When the angle of the nose is surgically adjusted, the chin will appear less prominent. Dermal injections can also add length and volume to the chin, a minor treatment option that can take place during rhinoplasty surgery

Reclaim Your Self Esteem

A person can permanently improve their physical appearance through a facial plastic surgery. When a patient feels his or her nose does not match the remaining features of the face, it can become a source of insecurity. Cosmetic nose surgery is the most transformative, beautifying surgery available to those seeking change. Alterations to the nose can also positively impact the rest of the face. A smaller nose will create more prominent cheekbones, while a corrected droopy nasal tip can place emphasis on the lips. Patients enjoy the new version of themselves following rhinoplasty.

Create Total Facial Harmony

Every person is born with the genetic characteristics intended for their being, though sometimes people feel that one of these features is not physically aligned with the rest. Those who were lucky enough to be born with good genes may find that they wish to restore their looks following an accident or illness. Facial plastics and non-surgical cosmetic procedures can promote balance amongst the features, leading to an attractive face.

Take Your Industry by Storm

For some professionals, remaining competitive in the workplace directly relates to their looks. This is especially true of employees in the entertainment, beauty, and business industries. Though not everyone prescribes to this mindset, the competitive nature that draws many to these fields also serves as a motivational factor for life and self-improvements. Good looks can lead to increased self-confidence and how one is perceived. Rhinoplasty cannot replace a sound mind and the know-how to do a job but it can create other life enhancements that accentuate good work ethic.

Scottsdale plastic surgeon, Dr. Daniel Shapiro offers patients many variations of rhinoplasty surgery, including the following:

  • Rhinoplasty
  • Septoplasty
  • Revision Rhinoplasty
  • Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Other Suggested Procedures

Surgery of the nose can be accentuated by other facial cosmetic procedures. Often, rhinoplasty is performed alongside chin implants or jaw implants to balance the length of both the nose and face. This multifaceted approach promotes a total face transformation. Volume and refinement of the lower face and chin can also be accomplished through dermal injections.

Other patients may find that the reduction in the size of the nose has highlighted the lips, which can be further accentuated with lip procedures such as lip augmentation, lip fillers, or even lip reduction surgery. When the size of the nose is decreased, it also shows off more of the cheekbones, where contouring may be necessary. A fat transfer to the face or injectable filler treatments can finish off a customized look.

If a patient undergoes an anti-aging rhinoplasty, a facelift surgery can also aid this youth restoration treatment. Skin resurfacing sessions and dermal filler injections can be performed alone or in conjunction with these surgeries. Dr. Shapiro may also recommend medical-grade skincare to ensure lasting results.

While rhinoplasty and the other procedures mentioned pertain to improved facial looks, Dr. Shapiro also offers body plastics. A person may feel entirely satisfied with the changes to the nose, but may seek additional transformations to the body. Breast augmentation, body contouring, and procedures aimed at improving the male physique are all available in one convenient setting.
