Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job," is one of the most common procedures performed in the American plastic surgery community. Even though rhinoplasty is very common, it is not appropriate for everyone. If you are interested in undergoing rhinoplasty, the guide below, including five important criteria for a rhinoplasty candidate, will help you to determine if the procedure is right for you.
No. 1: Your General Health
Before undergoing any surgery, you should consult with your physician about your general health and ability to undergo surgery. Even if you are relatively healthy, some medications may cause complications during surgery. If you are on any type of medication at all, speak with your doctor to see if your prescription might create such problems. If, however, your health has been poor, you may not be a good candidate for rhinoplasty. Even a minor infection can cause problems during your surgery or recovery phase.
So be sure to make sure you are in good health before going through with a rhinoplasty procedure. Candid discussions with both your physician and your surgeon will allow you to deduce whether or not you are in good enough health to undergo the surgery. Furthermore, if your health is quite poor, your surgeon should refuse to perform rhinoplasty.
No. 2 and 3: Your Emotional Wellness and Reasons for Getting Rhinoplasty
In dire emotional and psychological times, some people believe changing themselves on the outside will help them to cope with the problems on the inside. This is rarely, if ever, true. Rhinoplasty, and any other type of cosmetic surgery for that matter, will not help to heal a broken heart, cure depression or fill an emotional void. Be sure to check in with yourself about why you want to undergo rhinoplasty. If you find that you simply want to improve your looks, your comfort level or your health, then you are probably a good candidate for rhinoplasty.
No. 4: Your Age
It is important that adolescents and teenagers interested in rhinoplasty understand that it is best to wait until their face is finished developing before going through with the procedure. Whether youngsters want to undergo rhinoplasty for cosmetic or medical purposes, it is important for them to wait until their faces have matured. Most plastic surgeons recommend that girls wait until they have reached 14 or 15 to have rhinoplasty. The age is slightly later for boys. If a rhinoplasty is performed before an adolescent face has completely matured, a follow-up procedure may be required to correct any shifting that take place during the maturation process.
Not only can this create physical problems, but it can also double your rhinoplasty cost.
No.5: Your Expectations
Although rhinoplasty can significantly change your physical appearance, it is important to be realistic about what you can achieve through the surgery. Speak very frankly with your doctor about how you hope to look after your rhinoplasty procedure has been completed and the swelling has subsided. It is best to go into any plastic surgery expecting improvement, not perfection.
