WHY I WANT A RHINOPLASTY?
Nose surgery can be considered for three reasons. The first is aesthetic. It aims to solve a complex often present for a long time. A nose a little hunched, prominent, too thin, too big ... But rhinoplasty can also be functional if a patient has difficulty breathing. It can finally be restorative if the nose has been deflected or broken during a car accident, a violent contact, a fall ...
If functional and restorative surgery leave few alternatives, the first, the aesthetic operation, must be considered from another angle: is the desire to change nose anchored, necessary or is it a passing urge? A successful operation is necessarily the result of a long reflection.
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR AESTHETIC SURGEON?
Impossible to leave the choice of the practitioner to chance. Before putting the aesthetics of your face back in your hands, it is best to take some precautions to select your cosmetic surgeon and, if possible, to consult several before you decide. For this you can call a close officiant in the medical community. Your doctor or even your pharmacist has certainly woven a network that can help you.
You can also see the official list of specialized cosmetic surgeons provided by the Council of the Order of Physicians. If you have a choice, select a practitioner near you for a more convenient follow-up. Rely on your instincts and confidence at your first date. You must be able to expose doubts, desires, fears ... to your surgeon.
Is RHINOPLASTY PAINFUL?
The consequences of a nose surgery are not to be neglected. You must know that after the operation, some pain is to be expected and respiratory discomfort. The eyelids are also swollen and bluish. It takes about ten days for the bruises to subside. But taking analgesic drugs makes the pain more than bearable if you are really decided. You'll just have to breathe by mouth for a few days!
AT WHAT AGE CAN NOS SURGERY BE ENVISAGED?
A large majority of surgeons do not operate until age 16. The growth is then over and the patient is old enough to make her own decisions. But beware, a psychological assessment can be proposed before actually operating. It is a matter of detecting if the desire is the fruit of a simple feeling passenger or if the anomaly will probably never be accepted.
WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS TO CONSIDER AFTER RHINOPLASTY?
If the operation took place under good conditions under the watchful eye of a confirmed practitioner, complications are very few and rare. It is possible, however, that an infection may appear despite the routine administration of antibiotics. It is also possible to observe a bleeding nose.
THE PRICE OF A RHINOPLASTY
The price of rhinoplasty must also be taken into account in the selection criteria. It takes between € 2,500 and € 7,000 depending on the importance and difficulty of the act. If the latter is a pure aesthetic question, no support by the Social Security is possible.
