Understanding Rhinoplasty Procedure
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job", is a surgical procedure designed to surgically modify various aspects of the nose's appearance and structure. This procedure helps individuals refine and improve nasal aesthetics by addressing specific concerns about nose shape, profile, and proportions.
Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty
Candidates for rhinoplasty typically include individuals who:
- Desire to modify the nose's profile or bridge
- Want to adjust the position or shape of the nasal tip
- Seek to create better facial balance and symmetry
- Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Surgical Procedure Details
Rhinoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia in a specialized operating room. The procedure typically takes between one and two hours, depending on the complexity of the surgical modifications.
Surgical Approach
- Most incisions are made internally within the nose
- Occasional external incisions between or around nostrils may be necessary
- Surgical techniques tailored to individual patient anatomy
