(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Imperfections throughout the human body have been a worrying concept to many people for quite some time now. However, today, it is possible to fix these problems, and improve a person’s appearance through cosmetic surgery. Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular and common procedures performed today, and it refers to the process of reshaping the nose, usually for aesthetic reasons.
Most people recognize that their nose can affect the entire symmetry of their face, which is why nasal defects and disparities sometimes need to be corrected. What’s more, issues with breathing may also be addressed with a relatively high chance of success through this surgery.
Often, rhinoplasty procedures will be performed once the patient’s face has stopped maturing. This can occur at different points during an individual’s life, but it is most commonly between the ages of sixteen and seventeen for women. Rhinoplasty can also be combined with other procedures, such as cheek augmentation, which can help balance the overall appearance of the face.
As, perhaps one of the valuable assets we’ll ever own, it’s important that you always trust your face to a talented specialist when it comes to cosmetic surgery. Dr. Edward Buckingham is a renowned reconstructive and facial surgeon with advanced levels of experience in cosmetic surgery.
The Details of Your Nose
The bone structure of your nose is what contributes to the upper portion of the nasal area. This aspect consists of a number of points which form a pyramid shape, known as the bridge. The dorsum is the flat surface at the front of your nose and the glabella is the area where the bridge joins into the forehead.
There are a number of reasons why a person may choose to get rhinoplasty surgery. In fact, most of us feel uncomfortable about a certain aspect of our face, and commonly, the problem that we suffer with is in regards to our nose. The important thing to remember is that rhinoplasty, just like any other form of cosmetic surgery, from face lifts to blepharoplasty, should never be attempted for the wrong reasons. Always make sure that your choice to pursue cosmetic surgery is based on your personal needs and desires, rather than an attempt to gain approval from others.
Open and Closed Rhinoplasty Procedures
With open rhinoplasty, your surgeon will typically create a small incision within each nostril, which join at the columella. Once this delicate incision has been accomplished, the surgeon should be able to carefully lift the skin away from the cartilage of the nose, examine its structure for imperfections, and then correct any issues. Usually, open rhinoplasty is the procedure that is recommended when the tip of the nose needs to be extensively remodeled, as well as being used as a method to correct lateral deviation.
Closed rhinoplasty, on the other hand, is quite different, and often more complicated. This form of surgery requires a delicate incision to be made inside of the nostrils which allows the surgeon to access the rest of the nose. Typically, this procedure is recommended for people who require various minor corrections, including correction of the septum. If the closed surgery is done in an effort to reduce a bump in the bridge of the nose, the skin will not be removed.
