Trust your Face to a Facial Plastic Surgeon
Rhinoplasty: Am I a Good Candidate?
Published on December 15, 2014 by P.C. M.D. David A. HechtIf you are currently unhappy with the size or shape of your nose and are interested in improving the aesthetics of this part of your face, you are likely to be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. During the initial consultation, your trusted surgeon will examine the nose and determine if it meets the proper qualifications. Because it is important for the nose to develop fully before it is sculpted, viable candidates should be beyond their early teen years before the target procedure can be scheduled.
Cosmetic Issues
Rhinoplasties can typically fix a wide array of issues. Noses that have been broken multiple times may have become permanently crooked. They might also exhibit humps and bumps near the bridge. Prominent noses with bulbous tips can be fixed with calibrated techniques. Qualified surgeons can rearrange both cartilage and bone to craft the nose into a shape that you’ll be eminently happy with. Improperly positioned nostrils can also be fixed with the right cosmetic techniques. You’ll receive a viable mock-up of the expected procedure so that you can examine it in detail before actually moving forward with the surgery.
Good Health
You’ll need to be in generally good health to have a rhinoplasty. You’ll undergo a comprehensive examination in which your physician will glean details on your overall health. Most people end up being viable candidates.
Choosing a Procedural Schedule
A rhinoplasty can truly change your existence. Once you’re able to sculpt your face in the appropriate manner, you’ll experience a significant boost in confidence going forward. Family members and friends will be thrilled with your renewed zest for life.
