Every year, more than 15 million cosmetic surgeries are performed in the United States alone, with that number projected to increase even more year over year. The fact is, cosmetic surgeries are becoming more accepted and more widespread. With rhinoplasties being in the top ten most popular plastic surgeries, you may be considering getting one as well. However, rhinoplasty isn’t simply a cosmetic surgery, it can also be done due to functional concerns due to genetic factors or past injury and trauma to the nose. If you’re wondering whether you should get rhinoplasty, keep reading!
What Is Rhinoplasty?Â
Rhinoplasty is a procedure done to change the shape and appearance of the nose. It does not have to be a total reconstruction, in fact, any alterations made to any of the components of the nose, from small bones to soft tissues, can be considered rhinoplasty.
During the procedure, your trained professional will work on these parts and alter either or both of the aesthetic and functional aspects of the nose, depending on your individual needs and desires. Rhinoplasty is not a one-size-fits-all surgery, it is a tailor-made procedure.
What Are Some Reasons To Get Rhinoplasty?Â
Cosmetic
When people think of rhinoplasty, they think of cosmetic surgery and they’d be right. A perfectly reasonable goal with getting rhinoplasty is to alter the shape of your nose for an aesthetic that fits your goals.
To Breathe Easier
A less immediately connected reason for rhinoplasty is to alter the function of the nose to increase air passageways. This can not only impact breathing but improve sleep quality and day-to-day living.
