Your nose does a lot more than just sit in the middle of your face; this essential organ also enables you to smell, breathe, filter particles from the air you inhale, and even humidify it. Smell is tied both to taste and memory, and the nose can detect over a trillion scents.
Whether you’re struggling with a nasal medical condition that requires surgery or are unhappy with your nose’s appearance, a rhinoplasty (commonly referred to as a nose job) can help improve its appearance or treat problems that conservative options can’t.
Let’s find out more about the reasons people get rhinoplasties, the types of procedures available, and how we can make the results look more natural. Dr. Wade Han of the Florida Ear Nose Throat & Facial Plastic Surgery Center specializes in performing rhinoplasties for residents of the Orlando or Kissimmee, Florida area.
Let’s break down the medical and cosmetic reasons for getting a rhinoplasty:
This procedure can help to correct structural problems with your nose stemming from congenital abnormalities, a deviated septum, repairing a broken nose, or restoring proper breathing after an injury, burns, cancer treatment, or disease.
A deviated septum can also be a cosmetic issue, as it can be corrected by removing noticeable bumps and dips, making parts of the nose smaller or bigger, and changing the size of nostrils that you think are too wide, too small, or too large.
For best results, you should have a fully developed nose (meaning you’ve finished growing), not smoke, be realistic about the results of the treatment, and do it because you want the change and not due to someone else’s influence.
The kind of rhinoplasty you get depends on the extent of work to be done, and open and closed procedures are common methods, with the first being an internal process and the second requiring more access to the nasal structure with an incision between the nostrils.
Open nose jobs cover more extensive work, and closed nose jobs can make minor adjustments to the nasal structure. Other forms of this process can be done, including tiplasty and nonsurgical treatments with dermal fillers, but we perform both open and closed rhinoplasty.
Cosmetic rhinoplasty means you’re deciding to have the work done to improve what you feel is an imperfection, so the overall choice is unique to your preference. This can take many forms, including correcting minor issues, correcting symmetry issues, or making it look thinner or wider.
A natural-looking nose job simply indicates something that suits your face, a rhinoplasty that harmonizes with your overall look and boosts confidence without drawing too much attention. The changes are often minor and subtle, with possible adjustments to your nose tip, bridge, or other areas to balance its appearance on your face.
Getting a natural look for your rhinoplasty combines realistic expectations, understanding what you want from the treatment, and consultation on the steps we’ll take to help you achieve the results.
