Rhinoplasty is also referred to as nose job or nose reconstruction surgery. It is a surgery in which the nose can be reconstructed and reshaped to look more natural and appealing. This procedure is also provided for corrective purposes. One of the major reasons why people opt for rhinoplasty is because they are not at all happy with the shape of their nose. Nose surgery gives you a nose that looks good and improves the overall symmetry of the face. It addresses major aesthetic complaints related to the nose including:
- A wide dorsum or bridge
- A low dorsum
- A high dorsum
- A narrow dorsum
- Bulbous tip
- A tip that is too low or high
- A large nose
In this surgery, the nasal support is reshaped to provide the best results. On the basis of individual patient conditions and the severity of the problem, plastic surgeons choose the open or closed method. In the open method, the sutures across the columella are removed after five to six days. In the closed method, the sutures are made on the inside of the nose and these will dissolve in about a week.It is commonly seen that people who have irregular shaped or oversized noses have to face several functional problems as well. These medical issues include sinus as well as snoring problems. These issues are quite serious. When the nose is repaired by the doctor, it will surely assist in breathing comfortably during the day time and at night. Even the sinus problems can be effectively dealt with.
