What To Consider Before Having A Nose Job
By Kelly Altodona, Thu Dec 8th
So you've decided to have a nose job otherwise known as arhinoplasty. Before you decide to go forward there are a fewthings you need to know about this common cosmetic surgeryprocedure. First of all, most nose jobs are considered to be electivesurgery, which means that it is not absolutely necessary. Thismeans that you need to be financially prepared for the cost ofthe procedure as well as for the
three days to two weeks thatyou might need to recover from the operation. In some countriessuch as Canada or a government insurance programmight cover the cost of the operation if the surgery is deemedto be necessary medically. There are very few situations under which a rhinoplasty isconsidered to be medically necessarily in order to improve anindividual's quality of life. If you have a serious accidentthat involves a direct blow to the face that causes theshattering of nasal bones or the tearing of nasal cartilage thanyour nose job will likely be considered to be an emergency. Thisis also true if the injury affects your ability to breathe inanyway. (Article continued below)
Other conditions that qualify as medical justifications to havea nose job are a deviated septum, a birth defect or a nasalobstruction. However surgeries to correct these conditions arealso considered elective. This means that unless you are willingto pay a pretty penny for private treatment you might be waitingfor months to have your surgery done in a hospital. If a doctorcan also demonstrate that an individual is suffering a seriousand prolonged mental or emotional illness (such as depression oa cognitive disorder) as the result of an overly large orasymmetrical nose then your case might be seen to more urgently. If your operation is for cosmetic reasons, you have to know welladvance what type of nose you would like. It is very importantat this stage not to have any fantasies about looking like acontestant on the Swan or like your favorite movie star. Be sureto consider everything that your plastic surgeon tells you aboutthe limitations and possibilities that accompany the shaping ofyour new nose. You may also be given a choice of operations. One procedure ismore invasive than another and although it may produce dramaticresults the recuperative time is much longer. Sometimesincisions are made on the outside rims of the nostrils only.Other operations involve operating from the inside only(therefore not leaving any scars) or sometimes a combination ofboth techniques Nose jobs are also almost always performed under generalanesthesia and painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications arealso given to patients to reduce pain and swelling. The sideeffects of general anesthesia, including such symptoms as memoryloss, fogginess and fatigue can last upwards of three months somake sure you have a schedule that can accommodate thesephysical setback should they occur. If you need surgery to repair a broken nose, it is best to seekmedical attention straight away. Otherwise, the swelling of thetissues can delay surgery for around five days.
