‘The Long And Short Of A Story’– Rhinoplasty:

How would you go about deciding your surgeon? It is an important decision of your life; you definitely don’t want anything to go wrong. You will want to make sure that you choose the best in your budget. Rhinoplasty is a surgery performed to reshape the nose. It can help you reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the tip or the bridge, or even change the angle between your nose and the upper lip. Changes in the structure of the nose can make a big difference to your face. If I had to go through this surgery I think pictures of patients who have gone through the surgery would be my ideal stop. How a person looked before and the difference after the surgery would say the real story. Though it is not always about correcting the defect for perfection, there are other reasons like birth defects which could cause breathing problems for someone to opt for this reconstructive surgery.

Moving away from the technicalities of rhinoplasty or any cosmetic surgery for that matter, I personally feel there is this certain charm to a person with a slight imperfection. Sometimes correcting that takes away that special feeling. Of course eventually it’s all about your confidence. On superstitious grounds people of old school of thought feel that if they change the imperfection they are letting go of all their good luck. Today it’s all about how you feel.

Rhinoplasty has become a common reward for passing college entrance exams. Some even undergo surgery two or three times - at a fraction of the cost of Western procedures - to perfect their profiles framed by the ever-present hijabs, or scarfs, they must wear. I had to just mention this in this article which is by the Chicago Tribune. We really are not aware of the Iranian culture. This just goes to show how far our technology has come and at the pace its moving. There are some of us who would think and think and rethink before taking the plunge and opting for a plastic surgery if its just for a ‘look good’ or ‘feel good’ factor. But of course the above contradicts our thought and tells us that people sometimes even get it done to overcome boredom. What is happening?

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California has qualified plastic surgeons, of course, but what makes them different is they take you through the procedure with sensitivity. They will explain the technique and will also tell you about the anesthesia they will use. They hold your hand throughout the procedure right from the preparations to the post op care.

With our fast moving pace it is not surprising to find teenagers today also opting for these reconstructive surgeries. Their idols are models, and they think to ‘look good’ one must look like a model. It is important that parents have regular discussions with their children and get to know their mind frames. Though today we also have very good weekly magazines which cater to a specific age group and are very informative. These magazines are good reads for teens who need to read for themselves the pros and cons of these surgeries. They need to understand that looking good is not only about perfection or a 10/10 body.

Is Your Rhinoplasty Surgeon Any Good?

You may not have Elisha Cuthbert’s wide nose, or Janet Jackson’s perfect [cosmetically enhanced] nose. The elegant Roman nose too may not be the one you have been born with. But these famous noses may not necessarily be the noses that will gain you fame in your workplace after getting them cosmetically enhanced. What is considered beautiful by some may turn out to be downright ugly from someone else’s viewpoint.

A ‘nose job’ is a procedure that patients would consider getting when a rich lifestyle commanded them to look picture perfect. However, the health- improving options offered by a rhinoplasty are what are being taken into account as well by more aware patients. Besides tackling breathing problems, rhinoplasty also enables a patient to correct birth defects.

When going ahead with the decision of getting a ‘nose job’, consulting a surgeon certified with a board like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) [the largest plastic surgery specialty organization in the world] is recommended. Discuss the complications and after effects that may arise post surgery with him. How qualified your doctor is, directly influences the intensity of the complications that may arise, which could be anything from a nosebleed to a reaction to anesthesia. Get a rhinoplasty because you want to improve your nose, not perfect it.

You can either find a good doctor on the Internet at the sites of the respective boards, or you can contact the Plastic Surgery Institute of California by clicking here. We are members of the ASPS. If you are considering a rhinoplasty, you can request a consultation with any of our highly experienced surgeons at locations like Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, Pasadena, San Diego and Huntington Beach. They can help guide you through the decision making process and answer any questions you may have.

He Looked Down His Perfect Aquiline Nose At Her…:

Just a glance through at the latest romance novel your wife is reading is enough to hit you and most men with numbing inferiority complexes. Most of the heroes of these novels have either proud aquiline noses or beautiful Greek noses. History, movies and art too, are full of dashing figures like Michelangelo’s David, Ramses II, Dennis Quaid and even Aladdin, whose noses seem to add to their charms.

Men are known to be more conscious about their noses than women. No matter how eternal the macho look may be, the nose has to have ‘character’. And so, it is no doubt that rhinoplasty is the most sought after cosmetic surgery among the male gender. They form a quarter of the total patients who undergo rhinoplasty.

High satisfaction levels are very difficult to deliver where men are concerned though, according to most plastic surgeons, particularly in the case of ethnic male rhinoplasty. For instance, statistics point to male Asian rhinoplasty patients opting for secondary rhinoplasty procedures.

Plastic surgeons unanimously prefer to keep in mind the thumb rule, “less is more” where male rhinoplasty is concerned. Overdoing a male nose job might result in a much-too graceful nose, which is really not suited to the more macho ideal of aesthetics.

It’s alright to envy the hero of a romance novel for his perfect looks. What is more important is preserving the natural balance of your face with a well executed male rhinoplasty.

Closed Rhinoplasty:

Plastic surgeons perform a rhinoplasty using either of two procedures, closed rhinoplasty or open rhinoplasty. Read on to know more about the former.

In a closed or endonasal rhinoplasty the incisions are made inside the nose. One advantage of this procedure is it does not result in any visible scars. The scars that do remain are very faint and fade quickly with time.

A closed rhinoplasty is a bit complicated though and warrants the attentions of surgeons who are exceptionally skilled. Individuals who need to remove a dorsal hump or need minor corrections are the ones who are recommended to have a closed rhinoplasty.

Complexities not withstanding, the healing time for such a procedure is known to be quicker as the chances of swelling are alleviated. The post surgery precautions are also fewer to follow.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, we have highly experienced plastic surgeons that can perform a closed rhinoplasty. Each patient’s nose structure is meticulously studied and based on the anatomical requirements for a closed rhinoplasty this surgery is performed.

Cleaning Your [Botched] Nose:

Botched noses, they can be worse than odd-shaped noses. While there are a lot of plastic surgeons who perform rhinoplasty, there are very few surgeons who approach a rhinoplasty procedure with an experienced outlook. The latter group is more often than not the surgeons who usually end up fixing badly done nose jobs.

From the total number of rhinoplasty procedures performed in the United States, about 17 percent account for a revision rhinoplasty procedure. Most of these procedures require minor surgery, but a badly executed rhinoplasty can warrant extensive surgical repair.

Scars and surgical marks too are some of the reasons patients go in for a revision rhinoplasty. And then again there are star-struck patients who come clutching their favorite idol’s photograph seeking the help of a plastic surgeon. Revision rhinoplasty is also considered by patients who are looking for a particular look for their new nose.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, Beverly Hills, professional rhinoplasty surgeons carefully assess the damage wrought upon a patient’s nose by any previous surgery. Pictures showing how the nose originally looked are closely studied and the desired outcome is taken into account.

There are some botched nose jobs that cannot be corrected, and working on them is bound to increase the damage. Our cosmetic surgeons are completely honest if this is the situation. They provide a patient with unbiased opinions and suggestions to correct surgeries gone wrong and skillfully work to avoid further damage.
