Rhinoplasty – Not Just for the Famous

Rhinoplasty used to be a procedure limited to the rich and famous, but now anybody can access a nose job.

 

Rhinoplasty and cosmetic surgery in general used to be the domain of the rich, famous and eccentric. But now all surgery, from rhinoplasty to facelifts, are considered normal for just about anybody. It's easy to dismiss the culture of cosmetic surgery that promises the scalpel is a cure for unhappiness. But feeling insecure or unhappy about a part of your body can impact on your life to the extent that it stops you living freely, leaves you with low self esteem, impinges on relationships or even your career - it is literally debilitating. If those feelings can be lifted with a rhinoplasty, tummy tuck or other surgical procedure, advocates of cosmetic surgery say, well then why not?

Rhinoplasty – The Unhappiness Cure?

Many patients who have undergone a rhinoplasty have said it's been the best thing they've ever done, transforming their self esteem and confidence. And nose jobs are just one of the many cosmetic procedures that have become run-of-the-mill for many people. Wendy Lewis who has written a book about the industry: Plastic Makes Perfect: the Complete Cosmetic Beauty Guide, says that it's no longer a matter of 50 being the new 40, but 60 being the new 40. Although a rhinoplasty isn't necessarily about turning back the clock – it's about achieving a profile you feel happier with. If you have a nose you hate, you can struggle with low self esteem. A rhinoplasty may be the key to helping you invest in yourself, taking more care of your body, and encouraging you to invest in other cosmetic procedures.

Rhinoplasty – A Simple Cosmetic Procedure

The rhinoplasty and cosmetic surgery in general has come a long way from being a procedure associated with the rich and the weird – the extreme Michael Jackson or Jocelyn Wildenstein look (a look that inspired the label 'the Bride of Wildenstein'). Now, a recent survey reveals almost half of British people would consider cosmetic surgery. The market for procedures such as a rhinoplasty has doubled in two years, with the cosmetic industry now valued near to £1bn. For many people if they feel miserable with a huge nose, a simple rhinoplasty can transform how they look and how they feel – it's no wonder demand has doubled.
