Things to consider before having a nose job
Are you unhappy with the size or shape of your nose? If so, you will know that it can have a serious impact on self-confidence, which in turn can affect work relationships, personal relationships, and career choices, as well as negatively impacting your general wellbeing. These days, having Rhinoplasty, also known as nose reshaping surgery, or colloquially as a nose job, is a commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedure and one which can help to change the way your nose, and therefore your whole face, looks.
As with any cosmetic surgery procedure, there are some things to consider carefully before opting to have Rhinoplasty and again, as with all surgical procedures that are performed under general anaesthetic, there are risks associated with having a nose job.
The first thing to consider carefully is the psychological impact changing a major facial feature could have on you. Rhinoplasty should not be undertaken lightly and it should not be done to please others or with the view that once you have a new nose your whole life will change. In many cases of cosmetic surgery, physical changes will seem huge to the person who has undergone it and possibly to those closest to that person, but to the rest of the world, they will not know what you looked like before and therefore you will still be being judged for the first time. Of course, if you are pleased with the results then your self-confidence will undoubtedly be bolstered and this will help you to forge successful relationships both in your personal life and at work.
The second thing to consider before having a nose job is where you plan to have it done and by which surgeon, and finding reputable ones of each should be your number one priority. All reputable plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons will be registered with the GMC (General Medical Council), so if you have found a surgeon in your area, check that they are on there before you take it any further.
The third and final important consideration is knowing exactly what you are getting yourself in for in terms of the processes and procedures. Nose reshaping is carried out from inside the nose itself, meaning that any scarring will be internal and therefore not visible. Rhinoplasty can be used to reduce nostril size, alter the size, shape, or length of the whole nose, straighten the nose, or correct injuries that cause breathing problems. Ensuring you choose a reputable surgeon will mean you understand all the choices before you decide which one is right for you.
Do your research thoroughly if you are considering undergoing Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job and you will be giving yourself the best chance of being left with the nose you want.
