Nose reconstructive
surgery is the best option when a person wants to enhance their beauty
or appearance. However there are is a criteria to get the surgery done.
Te patient should be healthy, a non-smoker, and needs to be above 13 years
of age when the facial growth is complete. The person should also have
a specific goal to reconstruct his/her nose.
This nose reconstructive surgery or rhinoplasty is usually done from inside
the nostrils. The outer skin is moved up, the soft bones and underlying
bones reviewed for the defects, and the necessary changes are made adding
in additional bones and cartilages, if necessary. At times, the deviated
nasal septum is also corrected along with this rhinoplasty.
The entire process takes around one to four hours depending on the reconstruction
with the help of local or general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. A
nasal pack is kept for two to five days and sometimes dressing is necessary
over the nose for about two to three weeks. The person can be back to
work within seven days and this type of cosmetic surgery is a permanent
solution. With accurate planning and expertise, this surgery can change
the look of the person without any scar.
Nose reconstructive surgery not only enhances the looks of a person but
also helps in solving some breathing problems known as the functional
rhinoplasty or the septo- rhinoplasty.
A broken nose or a nasal fracture also needs a nose reconstructive surgery.
The surgery helps in realigning the broken nose of the person. It is better
to bring a photograph of the person before the trauma so that the doctor
gets a clear view of the shape and structure of the nose.
The cost of nose reconstruction for aesthetic purposes differs from the
cost for the reconstruction of a broken nose. The total cost of the nose
reconstructive surgery includes the fees of the surgeon, the hospital
charges, cost of anesthesia and medicines.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average fees
of the surgeon for nose surgery were $3,833 in 2007. The surgeons of American
Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery charge an average fee of $ 4,357
for rhinoplasty in 2007.
Many famous personalities and actors have undergone this nose reconstructive
surgery to enhance their beauty and appearance to suit their purpose.
