Rhinoplasty
If you're considering a rhinoplasty...
Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common
of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase
the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge,
narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your
nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury,
or help relieve some breathing problems.
THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR RHINOPLASTY
Rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but
it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause
other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have
surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with
your surgeon.
The best candidates for rhinoplasty are people who are looking for
improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically
healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations,
you may be a good candidate.
Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for
reconstructive purposes-to correct birth defects or breathing
problems.
Age may also be a consideration. Many surgeons prefer not to operate
on teenagers until after they've completed their growth spurt-around
14 or 15 for girls, a bit later for boys.
