Feeling good about your nose job
Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby said of her new nose that “It looks exactly like when I Photoshopped it! I love it.” Olympic gold medalist Stephanie Rice said of her first rhinoplasty that “Seeing the better version of my nose made me realize how much it had been affecting me.”
Over a hundred thousand people get rhinoplasties every year. According to the Web site Real Self, 90% of those who rated their rhinoplasties in the last two years declared them worth it. For those who have felt self-conscious about their noses and faces for most of their lives, it is liberating to finally be able to show the world a face you are comfortable with. Some young women have begun using photographs and the Internet to document every stage of their own rhinoplasties and recoveries for their friends — not only the before and after, but the transition period between the end of the surgery and the dissipation of the aftereffects.
More on rhinoplasty
In addition to its cosmetic purpose, rhinoplasty can also solve some breathing problems, such as sleep apnea from a deviated septum which could otherwise lead to health problems. It can even be given to patients who have already had it but are unhappy with the results. This is called revision rhinoplasty, and it is particularly complex. A patient should wait for at least one year after the completion of one rhinoplasty before undergoing a revision, and look for a surgeon who has often performed revision rhinoplasties.
After surgery, there is a certain amount of swelling, moderate bruising and occasionally some temporary skin numbness. The bruising fades within a week to ten days, while the swelling can last for several weeks. Don’t jump to any conclusions about what your new nose looks like until the swelling has gone down completely.
