A nose job is medically termed as rhinoplasty. It is the name given to the surgical procedure normally performed by a plastic surgeon to improve the cosmetic appearance of a person s nose. A nose job is the medical alteration of one s nose look to make it look better.
Sushruta, a Hindu physician, was the one who first introduced and developed the concept of plastic surgery for noses. It was in 500 BC when he attempted to reconstruct the noses of his amputated patients. During that time, noses were removed as punishment for certain crimes.
The procedure surrounding a nose job requires local or general anesthesia, depending upon the extent of the operation. There will be incisions made inside the nose. They can also be made on the skin separating the nostrils. The surgeon would reshape the cartilage and the bone of the nose. Without anesthesia, the patient won t be able to withstand the pain. This is also the reason why nose jobs can only be conducted inside a hospital or a fully equipped clinic.
Today, nose jobs are generally performed for aesthetic purposes. It is very popular in Hollywood, where both the famous and not so famous actors and actresses take their turns on the surgical table to have their noses done. Of course, the most celebrated nose job to date is still that of Michael Jackson s and his siblings.
When it comes to races, Asians and Africans are the people who normally subject themselves to nose jobs. People belonging to these races tend to have the need to make their nose to look more European or Caucasian. The nose job performed on a person would depend upon the actual structure of his nose. This also indicates that the procedures performed on an Asian are different from that of an African and other races.
A person may undergo several nose jobs throughout his lifetime. In fact, many Hollywood stars today admit to having two to three jobs done on their noses just make it appear perfect. There might be a need to undergo more nose jobs to revise or correct the unsatisfactory outcome of the first one.
However, there are also non surgical rhinoplasty procedures. A non surgical nose job is performed by altering the shape of the person s nose through filling in the depressed parts. This doesn t require any invasive surgical procedures at all. It is also the best alternative for people who are afraid to undergo total surgery of their noses.
Here are a few tips for nose job procedures:
1. Go only to certified places that have good reputation and long experience.
2. Get as much information as you can about how to be prepared to the surgery and what to do after.
3. Meet the surgeon before the surgery so he can explain the whole procedure to you and see if you are compatible.
4. Know and be prepared that you won t be able to get back to normal everyday life right after the surgery; you will have to have a recovery period.
5. If your nose bleeds after the surgery, don t lie down on your back, sit down and tilt your head a bit forward, use a towel to saturate the blood. If the bleeding doesn t stop, turn to your doctor.
6. Try not to blow your nose 2 3 weeks after the cast was removed.
7. Don t do any sports at least for first few weeks after the surgery.
8. Try not to be over exposed to the sun for about 3 month.
