A nose job is an everyday occurrence now. Open a magazine, and gracing the pages there will be at least a couple of celebrities who have had their noses ‘done’ in an effort to look better. For some, it’s almost as natural as changing their hairstyles. But the truth about nose jobs are not that well-known and there is a lot of information that you must process before you decide to go ahead with a nose job. What does a nose job entail? Though nose job is how we know it, the proper term for the surgery is Rhinoplasty, also known as nose reshaping. Sometimes, a medical condition may prompt a doctor to advise a person to reshape their nose. For example, if one has difficulty in breathing, there is an obstruction in the nose, or if an accident disfigures the nose. However, many people prefer to go ahead with the operation for purely cosmetic reasons. Given below is a list that includes most of the common reasons for people to consider nose reshaping: The nose being too large or prominent A d...

A nose job is medically termed as rhinoplasty. It is the name given to the surgical procedure normally performed by a plastic surgeon to improve the cosmetic appearance of a person's nose. A nose job is the medical alteration of one's nose look to make it look better. Sushruta, a Hindu physician, was the one who first introduced and developed the concept of plastic surgery for noses. It was in 500 BC when he attempted to reconstruct the noses of his amputated patients. During that time, noses were removed as punishment for certain crimes. The procedure surrounding a nose job requires local or general anesthesia, depending upon the extent of the operation. There will be incisions made inside the nose. They can also be made on the skin separating the nostrils. The surgeon would reshape the cartilage and the bone of the nose. Without anesthesia, the patient won't be able to withstand the pain. This is also the reason why nose jobs can only be conducted inside a hospital or a f...

Rhinoplasty can help change unwanted characteristics of your nose and change the look of your entire face. The nose is the center of a person's face, and therefore it acts as the most prominent attention-grabber when people look at you. A beautifully shaped nose can help create overall facial harmony and better appearance for a person, as well as change the entire look of the face. Unfortunately, some people, especially Asian people, are born with flat nose. But still fortunately, they do not necessarily have to get stuck with it for life. Rhinoplasty, also commonly known as a "nose job", has been introduced more than a hundred years ago. Rhinoplasty is a nose-reshaping surgery that helps correct deformities or makes subtle aesthetic changes for cosmetic purposes. In most cases of rhinoplasty performed on Asian patients, the bridge of the nose is raised and narrowed and the nasal width at the nose-cheek junction narrowed. It is precise surgery in which the margin of error...

More and more rhinoplasty patients from the 80’s and early 90’s have requested revision rhinoplasty to meet today’s trend for a prominent nose profile and defining nose tip. Alternatively, rhinoplasty patients of the past may wish to otherwise improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose or increase functionality that has been compromised years after surgery. Functional complications that have arisen from rhinoplasty procedures of the 80’s to the early 90’s include: ill-defined cartilage, unbalanced sidewalls of the nose, reduction in nose tip protrusion, and breathing impediments. Today’s Options There are often several reasons for a previous rhinoplasty patient to request a second revision procedure. This makes revision rhinoplasty surgery more complex than the initial surgery. By the same token, the advantage of secondary rhinoplasty today is that there are improved techniques available for patients to benefit from, including: Grafting Techniques: There are several grafting tech...
