Does plastic surgery hurt?
I know your nose gets swollen, but how long until it un-swollens?
Would people know that you got rhinoplasty if they look at your nose?
How much does rhinoplasty cost (professionally done)?
Where is the best place to get professional rhinoplasty?
Depends on the location, the doctor, and the type of insurance you have. Do they cover cosmetic surgery? If not, you can choose to
get a supplemental medical plan, see below. Good luck!

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 220,000 women had some type of rhinoplasty in 2006. (By the way, it also states that about 85,000 men had the procedure). If this is the case, then why is there still a stigma attached to women getting nose jobs?
The paparazzi gets a shot of a starlet and next thing you know, there are comparing photos to see if she’s had her “nose done.” Who cares? Just because she’s a celebrity does not mean that she is immune to the same insecurities and problems that women face everyday. Or, maybe she really did have a deviated septum like she said and needed it to clear up breathing problems. Rhinoplasty is not just about aesthetics.
It isn’t just celebrities who face scrutiny. The people in your life, the people you see everyday, these are the people having plastic surgery. Maybe you have seen co-workers speculate about someone’s new look and whisper about it in the break room. Did she or didn’t she?
Realizing the benefits of controlling personal information, there are few Hollywood stars beginning to announce their surgeries, rather than waiting to be outed by the media.
If you are considering re-shaping your nose, admit it with pride. Maybe afterward, once everyone notices your new self-confidence and how good you feel about yourself, they will see the true benefits. Seek support from your friends and family for more positive reinforcement.
Many women consider their self confidence before and after their nose job, and most will agree that after surgery, life changed. With a new nose, they project much more self-assurance because they feel so much more beautiful. This is good illustration of the kind of impact rhinoplasty can have on life in general.
Yes, your physical appearance changes for a more balanced, symmetrical look, but your self-esteem will get a big boost as well, which will show in your everyday interactions.
It takes a lot of courage to undergo this kind of procedure. It is a surgical process with risks and the recovery can be unpleasant with swelling and bruising. But, if there is something about your nose that is preventing you from living a fulfilled and confident life, then it is something to consider.
Choosing your Rhinoplasty Specialist:
Many doctors in various fields are incorporating plastic surgery into their everyday practice: gynecologists, dermatologists and general practitioners.
For Rhinoplasty, many find their ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist encouraging a nose reshaping along with a deviated septum correction.
As with any cosmetic surgery, you should research your surgeon thoroughly. You should only look for a plastic surgeon, board certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
The ASPS is the largest plastic surgery specialty organization in the world, and is the most authoritative by requiring their certified surgeons to have more than six years of surgical training and a minimum of three years in plastic surgery. The training and experience required of them make them immensely qualified to perform cosmetic or reconstructive procedures.

My mom wants that done as well. The last doc she saw wanted $3,500. It can either go higher or lower. just make sure that whoever you use is board certified and ask to speak to some of the past people that he/she has helped.
My plastic surgeon is going to perform a turbinate cauterization (zap the polyps) on me while doing the rhinoplasty. Has anyone done that before? does it dry up my nose if he zaps my polyps? if he just does a septoplasty and I am able to breath better do the polyps shrink back to normal size?

Rhinoplasty is the most commonly performed in facial plastic surgery. The name is a blend of the word rhino (nose) and plasty (to shape). Rhinoplasty also commonly called a nose job. The goal of Rhinoplasty should be a nose that looks and feels natural. Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet anesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes to correct defects or breathing problems.
Rhinoplasty was first developed by sushruta, an important physician, who lived in ancient India circa 500 BC. He and his later students and disciples used Rhinoplasty to reconstruct noses that were amputed as punishment and for crimes. He developed the techniques of forehead flap Rhinoplasty which is practiced almost unchanged to this day. This knowledge of plastic surgery existed in India up to late 18 century. The first intranasal Rhinoplasty in the west was performed by john Orlando roe in 1887. In 1898 Jacques Joseph used it for cosmetic purposes to help those who felt that the shape or size of their nose caused them embarrassment and social discomfort.
What can Rhinoplasty achieve?
Many features which are not desirable in a nose may be improved through cosmetic surgery. Noses may be made narrower, straighter, longer or shorter. Humps may be removed and the shape, size and angle and definition of the tip of the nose may be altered. Breathing problems caused by a deviated septum may be corrected. Rhinoplasty may be performed at any time after facial growth has been completed that is age 15-16 for women and age 16-17 for men. The ideal outcome in Rhinoplasty is a natural appearing with balance and harmony, enhancing beauty of the eyes and lips.
Risks involved:
Because of the special nature of the blood supply to the nose and surrounding area, it is possible for retrograde infections from the nasal area to spread to the brain. To reduce the risks follow the doctors advice both before and after the surgery.
Surgical procedure:
Surgery can be performed under general anesthesia with local anesthesia depending on patient or doctors preference. Incisions are made inside the nostrils sometimes; tiny incisions are also made on the columella, the bit of skin that separates the nostrils. The surgeon first separates soft tissues of the nose from the underlying structures, then reshapes the cartilage and bone which causes the deformity.
In some cases the surgeon may shape a small piece of the patients own cartilage or bone to strengthen or increase the structure of the nose. This is done for cosmetic reasons or to improve breathing and function of the nose. In rarer cases a synthetic implant may be used to reconstruct the nose if the normal structure of the bone and cartilage is badly damaged or weakened. Alloplastic synthetic are often associated with long term complications alternatively, cartilage from the septum, ear on rib may be used.
A tape dressing will cover the nose for one week, there may be some discoloration and swelling around the eyes which will improve over 5-7 days. One week is usually enough time for returning to work and social activities.

I’m in the Austin, TX area and am about to start my search for a plastic surgeon for rhinoplasty. My friend who also had this procedure said I need to go to L.A. to get the best surgeon because they do plastic surgery procedures like a million times a day so they’re the best/most experienced and practiced. But that would require a LOT of traveling hassles and I don’t even know how to start looking/screening for the “right doctor”, and trying to have this done in L.A. would just add to my confusion. Do I really need to go to L.A. to feel comfortable that I’m in the best hands, or are there doctors in the Austin area, or even Dallas or San Antonio (yes, that would involve traveling too but it’s closer than California!) that are just as distinguished and on “that level”? Any advice on how to filter through doctors, what questions to ask, how to find the doctor who’s right for me, etc…..pretty much any advice on this whole process would be great. Thank you!
