Rhinoplasty (better known as a ‘nose job’) is one of the most sought-after plastic surgery procedures in India and the world. The nose is just at the centre of the face, and many people are conscious of its size and shape. And, the good news is, you can have the shape of your nose altered with rhinoplasty if you are not happy with its shape. Before you get a nose job, here are some things you should know:
- Your first nose job might not be the last. In fact, one out of 10 nose job patients goes back for a revision. If you want to avoid this problem, make sure to go to a good plastic surgeon in India who is qualified, experienced, and skilled. Discuss your expectations and goals so that your plastic surgeon can tell you if your vision can be achieved.
- Some people think that getting a nose job is like shopping for clothes. You can’t simply point to a celebrity’s nose and expect the surgeon to replicate it on your face. For, the results will get highly depend on your facial structure. There’s a limit to what plastic surgeons can do.
- There are different types of rhinoplasty procedures. Open rhinoplasty involves a direct incision on top of your nose while a closed rhinoplasty in incision within. Each type of rhinoplasty has its advantages and disadvantages. Consult with a plastic surgeon to know which procedure is most suitable.
- The recovery is the toughest part. A lot of patients are afraid of the actual surgical procedure but what you really should be anxious about being the recovery. Make sure to take time off work. Depending on your condition, you’ll probably need to take certain precautions, like rest for up to two weeks. You won’t be allowed to exercise for about a month, and you shouldn’t wear glasses either. Swelling and bruising are quite normal, so don’t be alarmed. Most patients are very uncomfortable during the recovery stage. Take your medicines on a timely basis to keep pain at bay. Final results are not instant. The swelling of your nose will subside in about two weeks. However, the residual swelling will only completely disappear after about 12 to 15 months.
- Nose jobs aren’t just for cosmetic purposes. Some people require their noses to be reshaped as they have a hard time breathing. A physical disorder that requires a nose job is the nasal septum deviation.
