It is one of the most common surgical procedures in the U.S. Rhinoplasty can change the shape of the tip or bridge of the nose, change the angle between the nose and the upper lip, increase or reduce the size of the nose and other. In many cases the purpose is to correct a birth defect or accident along with dealing with breathing problems. So the general goal of rhinoplasty is to improve an individual quality of life and to give him self-confidence. There are a small number of situations in which rhinoplasty is considered to be medically necessarily. But if you have suffered an injury that involves a direct blow to the face that caused serious damage to your nose, the rhinoplasty will likely be considered an emergency. Although the rhinoplasty can improve a lot of your look you will need to understand that you will not necessarily end up with a perfect nose.

Rhinoplasty has the best results on mentally and physically healthy people that want an improvement for their nose, and not really a perfect one. Like any other surgeries, rhinoplasty has some risks. These include complications, nosebleeds, infections and other.

Sometimes, after the rhinoplasty surgery, burst blood vessels could appear as small red spots on your nose. This is a minor thing but the red sports could sometimes become permanent. When an "open" technique is used in rhinoplasty, there will remain a small scar on the base of the nose, but this is hardly visible. Following the surgeon's instructions before and after the surgery will seriously reduce the side effects of rhinoplasty. Discuss about the rhinoplasty techniques that should be used, the risks associated with the operation and be sure you tell him about any surgeries you might have(especially nose surgeries), allergies you have as well as any medication and drugs you have taken. Good communication between you and the Doctor will ensure your rhinoplasty goes smoothly with a small amount of recovery time.
