What makes rhinoplasty such a popular cosmetic treatment?

Many people are not happy with some part of their appearance, and that unhappiness is often caused by one's nose. But rhinoplasty is an incredibly versatile tool that can help innumerable individuals feel more satisfied and comfortable with what they see in the mirror.

The procedure is based on your unique needs. We weigh many factors (including lifestyle and your desires) when formulating the most efficient way to improve your countenance and confidence. Through cosmetic surgery, we can effectively deal with various issues, including a nose that's too large, protrudes too far, is misshapen, or has a bump. Whether it's the size or shape you'd like to have altered, rhinoplasty may be an excellent choice for you.

How to make the most of your rhinoplasty recovery

Just because rhinoplasty is known as cosmetic nose surgery doesn't mean it's simply a cosmetic procedure. On the contrary, rhinoplasty can offer multiple functional benefits for those who may have trouble breathing, have a deviated septum, or experience various sinus issues.

And if you seek rhinoplasty for cosmetic or functional reasons, there are certain things you can do to make the most of your recovery. Foremost, rest and relaxation are the key components of a proper recovery plan. And by taking it easy for several weeks following your procedure, you can vastly improve your recovery outcome. It's vital you avoid overexertion, many types of physical activity (we'll go over the specifics when we see you), and any act that can lead to contact or injury.

We'll also offer you a detail-attentive personalized treatment plan, but it's important to note that it may take some time to recover from rhinoplasty, as the tissues gradually heal and your new nose takes shape. It's not uncommon to experience swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes for a week or so. You can reduce the pain with pain medications and cold compresses for a more comfortable recovery. And typically, patients can generally return to their daily activities within a few weeks. We'll also schedule a post-op check-up to evaluate healing and help you enjoy an optimal outcome.
