A lot of people are concerned about their noses mainly due to aesthetic reasons. The nose is at the center of your face and it is the focal point; naturally, it greatly affects your facial symmetry and overall looks. Luckily, rhinoplasty is becoming more and more popular in India. Some people undergo nose jobs to fix injuries and illnesses. Others have a hard time breathing through their nose and thus require rhinoplasty. Some undergo this procedure to create a more symmetrical nose and face. No matter what is the reason for you to seek Rhinoplasty, here are some things to know about this cosmetic surgical procedure in India:
- Not everyone requires a Rhinoplasty. One of the most important factors is age. If you are very young and your face has not yet developed, it is best to leave it untouched as your nose might still change. The typical age for rhinoplasty should be around 15 and over.
- Go for an assessment. When you visit a facial plastic surgeon, you should be able to know your objectives. Would you like a straighter nose or would you like to remove some of the sidewalls? The surgeon should be able to tell you if your objectives are achievable.
- The surgery is quick. It usually takes an hour and a half to complete. Like most surgeries, you will need general anesthesia or be under sedation during the procedure.
- Post-care is highly needed. Although the actual procedure is quick, it may take some time for your body to recover, which is the case for any type of surgery. You need to be very careful not to touch your nose. Post-rhinoplasty inflammation can last up to a year.
To keep risks to a minimum, make sure that your rhinoplasty surgeon is certified and experienced. It’s best if you can see before and after samples of the surgeon’s current and previous clients.
