Many people believe that their nose is their most striking feature. It is usually one of the first features others notice, and, for better or worse, it typically draws a great deal of attention. If you do not love the natural shape of your nose, however, you do not have to grin and bear it. Getting a rhinoplasty in Fort Worth is one way to achieve the nose you have always wanted.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular procedures that experienced facial plastic surgeons conduct daily. A rhinoplasty may improve your self-confidence in addition to helping you look and feel amazing. We are here to explain all that you need to know about rhinoplasty and introduce you to the ways our elite plastic surgeons can help you get the look you want.
While many patients undergo rhinoplasty to change an aspect of their appearance, there are some very real medical reasons to pursue the procedure as well. If you struggle with certain medical conditions, such as nasal valve collapse or a deviated septum, getting nasal surgery may improve your breathing and other medical issues.
From an aesthetic point of view, rhinoplasty may dramatically change your nose’s appearance by reducing its size, refining any significant bumps, and even shortening a drooping tip. These irregularities can cause significant social and emotional discomfort. If you are unhappy with any aspect of the appearance of your nose, you might be a good candidate for rhinoplasty in Fort Worth.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures for a reason. It may improve the quality of your life by giving you the facial aesthetic of your dreams. Here are just a few of the other benefits that a patient in Fort Worth may enjoy after undergoing a rhinoplasty:
Everyone is unique and you might experience some of these benefits, or different ones entirely. When you book your consultation with one of our distinguished plastic surgeons, you can discuss why you want a rhinoplasty and what your desired outcomes are.
There are many reasons to get a rhinoplasty, but not everyone is eligible to have one. In general, if you are a healthy individual with realistic goals about what you want to achieve, you may be a good candidate for a nose job. Surgeons typically advise against rhinoplasty for teenagers younger than 16 or 17 years old because the nose keeps growing, which could affect the results.
There are many different types of rhinoplasty. Depending on your specific needs and goals, our plastic surgeons might recommend one type of nose job over another. Nasal surgery can be open (the skin of the nose is pulled back) or closed (there are no external incisions and work is primarily done through the nostrils). Structure or preservation rhinoplasties augment or remove the cartilage around the nose, while revision rhinoplasty updates or fixes the result of a previous procedure. Individuals of specific ethnicities can also have a nose job that conforms to their own heritage, which requires a plastic surgeon to have heavy prior experience.
No matter what rhinoplasty is best for you, rest assured that we take an individual approach to your procedure, customizing your rhinoplasty just for you. Noses are unique among plastic surgery procedures because the shape and size will determine how the operation moves forward. We have before and after galleries for rhinoplasties, in addition to a unique 3D simulation program that can help you anticipate what the final result might look like.
Rhinoplasty generally takes two and a half hours to perform. Your surgeon performs your procedure under general anesthetic, and most patients are allowed to go home the same day as their surgery. The most common side effect of rhinoplasty is bruising, but you may also see some swelling, which small stents should help alleviate.
Your surgeon may recommend taking it easy for several weeks and avoiding high-impact exercise as you heal from your procedure. If you work from home, you may be able to get back to it after a couple of days, but otherwise, you should wait about 10 days for the bruising to subside. The swelling should be mostly gone after half a year but it may take up to two years for 100% of the swelling to disappear.
