A Nose Surgery Concern – Dashed Hopes

There are places in Saudi Arabia and Iran where husbands and wives live together and have children without the wife revealing her face. The practice is steeped in tradition is yet followed to this day and age.

I came to know about this interesting information just today when I caught the Daily Mail’s report on a wife divorcing her husband because he got curious about her face and lifted her veil while she was asleep.

I can’t help wondering what the husband seen and whether it was worth getting divorced.

When the plastic surgeon removes the last bandage from a nose surgery patient’s face, there is a similar sense of curiosity that goes through the patient’s mind. Frequently, the nose enhancement is worth all the pain for the patient.

But there are times when the patient is not happy at all about the result (oh yes, this is possible). Now there are three reasons why this could happen.

Either the rhinoplasty procedure faced some medical obstacles during surgery (no surgery is 100 percent safe, remember that) or else the patient did not communicate to the cosmetic surgeon the specific requirement. The third reason is, or rather are unrealistic expectations.

The best way to avoid dashed hopes after a surgery procedure is to pay total attention to the proceedings of the consultation procedure. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we store immense importance by this step of the cosmetic rhinoplasty process.
