Suitability For Rhinoplasty

 

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure, which is used to enhance the aesthetic appearance of an individual’s nose, by modifying its size and shape. Commonly also referred to as nose reshaping surgery or a nose job, rhinoplasty has become very popular in the UK, partly due to many celebrities publicly admitting to have undergone the procedure. In fact, according to the British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), about 4,000 rhinoplasty procedures were performed in the country during 2010.

 

Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty?

 

The nose is a central feature of the face. If an individual’s nose is not in proportion to their other facial features, it may result in a feeling of shyness or self consciousness. Hence, many people consider nose surgery to change the appearance of their nose, so that it looks more attractive.

 

It is important to note that every face is unique, and there is no such thing as a ‘perfect’ nose. Nose surgeons use various guidelines to help set the goals for rhinoplasty. A nose that looks great on one individual may not look as attractive on another. Hence, people who wish to undergo rhinoplasty need to be realistic with their expectations of what can be achieved through nose surgery. The right nose for each person differs according to the shape of their face, their ethnic background, and the present appearance of their nose.

 

For nose surgery to have a successful outcome, it should be performed by a surgeon who has received specialist training, such as a cosmetic surgeon or an appropriately qualified ENT surgeon. During the consultation stage, the ENT surgeon will conduct a clinical evaluation, to determine if a particular patient is suitable for rhinoplasty. During this process x-rays, CT scans and 3D computer imaging software are typically used. Generally, patients should be above a certain age, possess good physical health, and be psychologically stable, to be considered suitable for nose surgery.
