Nose job Recovery

So you're thinking on having rhinoplasty, or in its more popular phrasing – Nose Job. The only thing is you are afraid of the recovery period and experience.
In this post I will try to explain the basic nose job recovery process and experience.

The most obvious thing in the nose job recovery period is the swelling. The nose and the face area around it are swollen for the first few days after the surgery. How long depends mostly on the person it self. But it shouldn't be more the 3-5 days.
In most cases there is a bruised appearance and a little sore sensation. This will go away along with the swelling.

In some cases there may be a little swelling left for several months after the surgery.

It is recommended to remain at ease for the first 24 hours. Try to stay in bad for as long as possible. After rhinoplasty it is very important to avoid the sun. This is partly why this particular surgery is more popular during the winter time. Another thing to remember is not to blow the nose for about a week after the rhinoplasty. It is also recommended to avoid banding over for the first week for minimizing the swelling and bleeding.

Yes, bleeding from the nose is another possible side effect and should past in about a day or 2.

A nose job recovery period usually lingers for about one week. Off course, this varies between each person individually.

Your plastic surgeon will give you specific instructions regarding actions and 'Not to do' things that you will have to pay attention to after the rhinoplasty surgery

Most people and plastic surgeons say that it will take up to a year before you can see the final result of the rhinoplasty appearance wise. But I came across some people that were very pleased with the results after only one month, so I guess this is individual too.

Well, I hope this information helps a little in your decision.
It would be great if those of you who already went through their nose job will share their experience in the comments part of this blog.

Good luck with your nose job surgery :-)

Can Rhinoplasty surgery turn bad?

In most cases when you have a plastic surgery it turns out just fine. You get the breast or nose you always wished for and you go back to your normal life in just a few days. But in some cases the plastic surgery doesn't go the way it should.

Dr. Mordcai Blau has patients coming to him after having a plastic surgery done in a small unknown clinic and in some cases abroad. The cheep prices of plastic surgery in countries like Thailand is very tempting  to some people and they don’t care to think about the consequences. This doesn’t necessarily means that the surgery will go wrong, but it does mean that if it will, it will be much harder to get it fixed at the original clinic it was performed in.

Rhinoplaty is one of the top surgeries that are made more then once by one patient. An inexperienced plastic surgeon can make mistakes that are sometimes irreversible. The fact that it’s in such a visible place makes it very hard to stay with the unwanted outcome, and so correction rhinoplasty surgery is performed.

Nose job without surgery

I recently read about a none surgical nose job procedure. This procedure is for people that has small corrections needed done on their nose. basically it evolves injecting Botox or restylane to part in the nose that can help in reshaping the nose contour.

Again, non surgical nose job can help only people with small bumps and bulges.  It will not help for people that want to reduce the size of their nose. Another thing that should be taken under consideration is that Botox injections are wearing out after a certain time period and if you had a non surgic

al nose job you will probably have to go through more then one. 

For now, at least from my point of view, rhinoplasty surgery is still the best option.

Tips for questions and checking you need to do when you decide to go through Rhinoplasty surgery

 

During your initial consultation, the cosmetic surgeon and patient will discuss what outcome of the surgery is desired, what is realistic for the particular patient, and what to expect during and after surgery.

In addition, the surgeon will advise the patient on the nose surgery procedures, its cost, the possible risks and benefits. The cost for this surgery varies greatly depending on the patient’s physiology and goals.

In different areas of the country, pricing will vary as well as what services, such as anesthesia, are covered in the price. Rhinoplasty is generally not covered by insurance, with the exception of certain breathing difficulties that are a result of a deviated septum. In these cases, a long record of being treated for breathing difficulties by an ENT physician must be proven.

Is Nose Surgery For You?

The reasons why anybody would want to go through a nose surgery differ from one person to another. People that snore or have breathing difficulties are often the most concerned about nose surgery. Others are uncomfortable with the appearance of their nose because of its asymmetry or because of its above average or below average size. In fact, nose surgery has become more common among people of different ethnicities. Nose surgery is performed on both women and men as early as 14 years of age when the nose is fully developed. Indications that usually initiate nose surgery include but are not limited to:

· Permanent bumps on the nose starting as early as birth or childhood.
· Depressions on the nose caused by injuries or present since birth.
· Nostrils too wide and open which could be a discomfort for the appearance.
· When the nasal tip is excessively pointed or excessively flat.
· The tip of the nose is too thick and large or too slow.
· The nose is crooked to the side.
· When the nose looks larger viewed from different angles.
· The nose is symmetric but not in the center of the face which makes the whole face asymmetric.
· When the nose does not simply look normal to the patient

Rhinoplasty - The most defining plastic surgery

It has been said that the most defining feature on a person’s face is their nose. It is not a big surprise then, to learn that Rhinoplasty (Nose Job), is procedurally one of the top surgeries that a cosmetic doctor performs.

This popular surgery can make remarkable differences in a person, not only from the standpoint that it can balance out facial features or correct the appearance of someone whose nose may have been altered by an injury, but can also increase a person’s self-esteem.

It can improve the appearance, the proportion, and any structural defects of the individual’s nose. In cases of structural damage or defects, it can correct impaired breathing, including snoring problems. Common goals of rhinoplasty include decreasing or increasing the size of the nose in relation to the facial proportions, altering the tip or bridge of the nose, narrowing or changing the shape of the nostrils to create symmetry, and remove visible humps or dips on the bridge of the nose to create a more pleasing profile.

Rhinoplasty surgery

Rhinoplasty, or nose job is considered a relatively simple plastic surgery but should be taken under the greatest consideration when performing it. Since it's the most stand out organ in our face and since corrections are sometimes not an option you will need to make sure that you have chosen the most qualified plastic surgeon you can.
This operation is performed trough the nostril area and so it is not visible to the surgeon, so experience is essential for performing it.
Rhinoplasty can be performed only after the nose growth is finished which is usually around the age of 16 for females and a little later then that for male.
