Model, not actual patient.

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to improve the shape, size, or appearance of the nose to make it more proportionate and attractive. At the time of pre-op consultation, the surgeon will explain all aspects of rhinoplasty, and may present rhinoplasty before and after photographs before the patient.

The patient should review as many before and after photographs as possible until they have a fair idea of the kind of changes that may be made with rhinoplasty.

What are Rhinoplasty Before and After Pictures?

Before and after pictures in case of rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery refer to a set of photographs pertaining to a previous patient who has undergone the same procedure with successful results. The set includes pictures taken prior to the procedure and after the procedure at a stage when the bruising and swelling has been completely eliminated and full results of rhinoplasty are established.

The surgeon will take care to obtain these pictures with the patient’s clear consent and present them before new patients in an appropriate manner. The patient’s identity may be kept undisclosed as required. The sole purpose of this whole exercise is to help new patients to make a well-considered decision after reviewing the potential effectiveness of rhinoplasty through these photographs.

Benefits

Rhinoplasty is an intricate surgery, which can significantly impact the facial appearance. The patient may naturally have concerns about how their face may be altered with this surgery. Some patients may only require a limited cosmetic change, while others may need a major procedure to alter the size or shape, or completely reconstruct the nose.

In some cases, rhinoplasty may have to be performed together with chin surgery or another facial procedure to create better proportion. In all such cases, patients with access to rhinoplasty before and after photos will be in a better position to make the right decisions.

Having Reasonable Expectations

Experienced surgeons know the importance of ensuring that the patient forms reasonable expectations in any cosmetic procedure such as rhinoplasty. Therefore, they will prefer to present rhinoplasty before and after photos at the very first appointment. They may also encourage the patient to review such pictures online or in magazines.

The patient with reasonable expectations will usually have better satisfaction levels from the results. It also reduces the risk of any misunderstanding or disappointment occurring at a later stage.

Photos on the Website

Most independent plastic surgery practitioners would have their own practice website, where they can upload rhinoplasty before and after photos. The photos can also be disseminated through various social media accounts of the practice, which may include Facebook, Google+, Instagram, and Pinterest.

New patients can simply access these photos online in the privacy and comfort of their home or office, and then choose whether to visit the surgeon for a personal rhinoplasty consultation.

It is amazing what digital technology has done. There is not one industry in the world that has not been touched in some way by digital technology. Now patients can make informed and cutting edge decisions since they can understand what they see in incredible detail and apply it to their own body. This mitigates the anxiety and tension that a patient could feel before they go into the operating room.

Now the surgeon and their staff do not have to answer so many questions as any patient will have an acute understanding on how this surgery will turn out and what it entails.

Model, not actual patient.

Rhinoplasty is a major cosmetic surgery procedure involving the nose, which is a prominent part of the face. Cost should ideally be a secondary consideration in such a procedure, but for many patients it becomes a starting point in their decision to go ahead with rhinoplasty. The monetary amount will usually be an out-of-pocket expense in this elective surgery.

The patient should feel free to ask all questions related to costs at the time of initial consultation. A dedicated surgeon will provide clear and accurate information to help the patient make a well-informed choice.

Fee of the Surgeon

The fee charged by the rhinoplasty surgeon will constitute an important component of the overall costs of procedure. This fee will usually depend on the surgeon’s credentials and expertise in the area of rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery. For instance, a nose job performed by a surgeon-in-training under the supervision of a senior surgeon will have a lesser fee cost than another surgeon with years of training and experience in rhinoplasty.

Surgical Facility Costs

The surgeon may perform rhinoplasty at a hospital, an accredited surgical center, or a private surgical suite. This decision will be made in consultation with the patient. The monetary amount and benefits will vary under each option. Most patients would go by the recommendation of their surgeon about the choice of surgical venue, or may determine their decision according to their budget for this surgery.

Anesthesia Expenses

If the rhinoplasty procedure is performed with the patient under general anesthesia, it will involve the services of an anesthesiologist or a certified anesthetist nurse. They may charge for their services by the hour, and the fee will vary according to their qualifications and experience. The surgeon will make the appropriate recommendation to the patient with regard to anesthesia.

Extent of Surgery

A relatively minor nose surgery procedure involving limited refinements such as enhancing the nasal tip or removing the nasal bump will cost less than a more complex surgery. Major or lengthy procedures such as nose augmentation or reduction or nasal reconstruction, nasal implants or functional corrections may entail an overall higher dollar figure of the procedure.

Post-Surgical Financial Factors

The patient should consider potential post-operative costs, which could include the costs of prescription drugs, medical tests, follow-up appointments, antibiotics and anti-nausea medications. A few patients may have to spend on advanced skin care products if they experience an acne breakout or hyperpigmentation in the months following rhinoplasty.

Insurance Aspect

If the rhinoplasty procedure involves functional corrections to improve breathing through the nose, the costs of the procedure may be covered by the health insurer. Large inferior turbinate and nasal vestibular stenosis are conditions that could create obstruction in the nostrils. Deviated nasal septum or nasal fractures may also cause breathing difficulties. If the procedure is medically necessary, the patient may receive full or partial insurance coverage.

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose job or surgery, ranks among the top five most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the US. More than 200,000 rhinoplasty procedures are performed every year in the country. While most patients seek this procedure for cosmetic enhancement of the nose, it is also performed to correct functional anomalies.

Rhinoplasty may be performed as an open or closed surgery, depending on the extent of surgery involved. Closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scarring, but open rhinoplasty may be necessary when substantial nose alterations are required.

Surgical Techniques

The nose surgeon will carefully evaluate the patient’s candidacy and their nose anatomy and personal aesthetic goals. The appropriate surgical approach and technique will be chosen to meet the patient’s unique needs.

Reduction Rhinoplasty

One of the most common types of nose cosmetic surgery is reduction rhinoplasty. It will reduce the size of the nose to improve facial harmony and proportion, and bring the nose in balance with facial features such as the chin. Narrowing of nasal tip, removal of a nasal bump, and reshaping of nostrils may be performed along with nose size reduction. The procedure will involve precise bone and cartilage reduction to create the right size and shape.

Augmentation Rhinoplasty

Augmentation rhinoplasty may be recommended when the nose is disproportionately small or looks undermined in comparison to other facial features. Bone or tissue grafting may be used to build up the nasal bridge or nose tip. The surgeon may utilize cartilage from the septum or other areas of the body such as the ribs. Synthetic implants may sometimes be used to augment the nose. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Khan receives patients from Dallas, Texas, and nearby areas for rhinoplasty.

Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty

Post-traumatic nose surgery may be performed with a goal to restore both function and aesthetics following a severe injury in the nasal region. The procedure may involve tasks such as repairing of a broken bone, straightening the nose and enhancing the deviated nasal septum.

Reconstructive Rhinoplasty

Full or partial loss of the nose may occur after skin cancer or another disease or injury. The surgeon may have to perform a reconstructive rhinoplasty to rebuild the nose to restore its original shape. Nose implants, the flap technique, and skin grafting may be used in reconstruction.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

People of various ethnicities can have specific nasal characteristics. The surgeon may perform ethnic rhinoplasty for Asians, African Americans, Hispanics, or people of Middle Eastern origin to improve their nasal contours.

Recovery

The patient may have to stay at home for about one week to safely recover following rhinoplasty surgery. At the end of the first week, the sutures and nasal packing or splint may be removed. Nosebleeds, headaches, and irritation are expected in the first few days.

The patient should avoid blowing their nose in the first week. Your normal routine can usually be resumed around the time the second week is arrived at, but strenuous activities should be avoided for another two to three weeks.
