One of the most common cosmetic procedures performed today is rhinoplasty. Nose jobs top the list because they are often needed for medical reasons and because the nose is so important to the overall appearance of every person. Surgeries can be used to correct problems like a deviated septum, to repair a crooked nose following an injury or to reshape a nose that is larger or less aesthetically pleasing than the individual would like.
Regardless of why the surgery is being performed, each person will need to meet the same health standards for surgery to be completed and will face basically the same length of recovery time. It is a safe, but still complex surgery and should only be trusted to a surgeon with the expertise to do it correctly.
During Rhinoplasty Chicago patients should be healthy, willing to follow the instructions of their doctor and understand the limits of the surgery. It takes several months for the nose to heal, and it can take up to a year for it to reach its final appearance. This appearance may not exactly match the nose the person would like to have. This is because the doctor can only work with the bone structure, cartilage, and skin that the patient has available.
There are potential side effects in any surgery, but the chance of infections or other concerns are reduced when people follow their post-op instructions. With Rhinoplasty Chicago patients should expect to feel stuffy and speak a little differently for a period. There could be numbness for several weeks, headache and pain for the first few days and multiple visits to check the progress will be needed.
It may seem like a lengthy and involved process, but when done correctly, most people are thrilled with the results. People who have spent a lifetime disliking their profile or wishing their nose were different will finally have this concern alleviated and be able to move on and feel more confident throughout their life.
