Rhinoplasty Can Solve A Lot Of Your Self-esteem Problems

By Adriana Noton

We are all born different and have different personalities and physical characteristics. Some are lucky and have perfectly symmetrical features. Many of us are fairly ordinary, and have one or two features that we dislike. Many people hate the shape or size of their nose. If this is you, and it really is a big problem in your life, you may want to consider rhinoplasty.

To make you feel better about yourself, people may say that a large nose adds character and makes you unique. The problem is that every celebrity and movie star you see has a small or straight nose that looks great and makes them attractive. Unfortunately this only makes you hate your nose even more.

Your every waking thought is about your nose ' how to hide it ' how to avoid people seeing your profile ' in fact it's an obsession. Everybody you see seems to have a smaller nose than you. You finally pluck up the courage to talk to your family about rhinoplasty.

If your family can understand why you lack confidence and are so unhappy, they should be sympathetic and understanding. Reassure them by explaining how common this procedure is and exactly what it involves. The next step is to make an appointment with a plastic surgeon.

The surgeon will take photographs of your nose and explain what changes can be made during the procedure. He or she will tell with you and your family about what the surgery entails. The cost of the surgery as well as the recovery period will also be explained.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common male cosmetic surgery performed today. It can be done in an outpatient surgery, or in a hospital. You will either be under local or general anesthesia, depending on your surgeon who does your nose surgery.

Local anesthesia is often used during rhinoplasty. The process is quick and almost painless. But you will still need to recover fully before going home to make sure that no hemorrhaging occurs. If the surgeon wants to use general anesthetic you will be put to sleep properly for duration of the surgery.

Plastic surgery of the nose begins with the surgeon making an opening across the skin that separates your nostrils. The cartilage and bone of your nose will then be sculpted to create the desired shape. Scarring is minimal.

Your nose will look bruised and swollen, and your eyes will be puffy, for some time after the operation. You need to follow the surgeon's advice regarding swelling, and take medication. You will also need to go for one or two follow-up appointments to check that your nose is healing correctly.

It is important not to blow your nose during the first week of your operation because you might injure your healing nose. Within about 10 days the stitches will be removed and the bruising should almost be gone. Your nose will still be slightly swollen for some time.

Rhinoplasty can make a big difference in your self-esteem and give a good self-image. The money you spent will be worth every cent. You will feel a new found confidence and be a lot more sociable. As they say, 'it is still you, but just a better you'. - 30516
