Rhinoplasty – In Your Face
Rhinoplasty is a God send for those who are self conscious about
the size of their nose.
Rhinoplasty is a common plastic surgery procedure. It's perhaps
one of the most famous types of surgery thanks to the countless
celebrities who have queued up for a rhinoplasty. For women, a too
big nose can leave them feeling too masculine. In fact, our noses
are the central feature of our faces. Being self conscious of its
shape, or feeling the nose has ugly features, can be debilitating.
For those who have struggled with these self conscious feelings, a
rhinoplasty could be a welcome answer.
Rhinoplasty for Function and Form
Rhinoplasty can increase or decrease the size of the nose – and
depending on your needs, a rhinoplasty can change the shape of the
tip of the nose, the bridge, the nostrils and the angle of the nose
to the upper lip. For some, a rhinoplasty is necessary to improve
breathing difficulties, for others it is purely cosmetic. Reduction
rhinoplasty is often cosmetic, whereas augmentation rhinoplasty can
be used to rebuild a nose or to restructure the nose, which is more
commonly done after injury. For those who need to fix their
breathing, a septoplasty can be done at the same time as the
rhinoplasty.
£1 Billion Cosmetic Surgery Industry
A rhinoplasty procedure tends to be painless, but there will be
bruising that takes three to five weeks to go. If you're having a
rhinoplasty, it's important to keep this in mind and be prepared
for swelling around the nose and eyes. Patients wear a firm splint
in the recovery period after a rhinoplasty. It's also important
that you have a rhinoplasty when you are not suffering with a cold
– sneezing, laughing or blowing your nose can make the healing
process harder. The cosmetic surgery industry is big business –
rhinoplasty, peels, breast augmentation – in the UK the profile of
cosmetic surgery and the accessibility of procedures is higher than
ever before. The relaxed attitude to cosmetic procedures, such as a
rhinoplasty, means we spend just over £1 billion on the cosmetic
industry in Britain.
Nose Jobs for Self Esteem
Anyone who has felt the misery of being self conscious about the
size of their nose knows you shouldn't underestimate women's - and
increasingly, men's - insecurities when it comes to their faces and
bodies. Some procedures are essential, such as a rhinoplasty to fix
a nose wrecked in an accident, or to improve breathing and
function. But low self esteem and self-punishing self-criticism can
be just as damaging on our psychological well being.
