Common Reasons for Getting a Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a facial cosmetic surgery procedure designed to improve the overall appearance and proportion of your nose. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 307,000 individuals underwent a Rhinoplasty in 2006. While the numbers may have changed over the past few years, nose reshaping surgery is still one of the top five most popular cosmetic procedures performed today. How can you tell if you should you undergo a rhinoplasty? Consider some of the following common reasons for getting a rhinoplasty.
Aesthetic Benefits

Most individuals choose a rhinoplasty to improve the appearance of their nose. A rhinoplasty allows your surgeon to:

*Alter the size of your nose.
*Change bridge width.
*Remove profile humps and fill visible depressions.
*Diminish the size of large nostrils.
*Re-contour large, bulbous, drooping, or upturned nasal tips.
*Improve the symmetry of the nose

Improve Nasal Functioning
Many individuals undergo rhinoplasty surgery to correct a health-related issue. For example, nose reshaping surgery can be used to improve breathing difficulties caused by narrow nasal passages or structural abnormalities such as a deviated septum.

Increase Self-Confidence
The biggest reason that so many people choose to have their noses reshaped is to improve their appearance. Individuals who are dissatisfied with the size or shape of their nose often turn to rhinoplasty surgery as a way to boost their self-esteem.

Your nose should harmonize with the other features on your face. For the best nose reshaping and face lift procedures in the Dallas area, visit Dr. McBride with the Cosmetic & Maxillofacial Surgery Center today.
