1. Which type of Rhinoplasty Right for you?
Rhinoplasty, or as it is colloquially known, a nose job, is a plastic surgery procedure in which a
patient’s nose is structurally corrected and/or altered in some way via surgical techniques. A
rhinoplasty procedure can be reconstruction procedure, which means that it is a procedure
designed to restore the function/form of a certain part of the body, in this case the nose.
However, rhinoplasty procedures are popularly understood as mostly cosmetic procedures-
procedures designed to aesthetically enhance the appearance of a certain part of the body,
which again, in this case is the nose.
From a reconstructive standpoint, rhinoplasties can potentially alleviate breathing issues caused
by birth defects, nasal injuries, and general nasal problems, such as deviated septum’s (a
condition of the nose that occurs when the nasal septum- the passageway that separates the
left nostril from the right nostril- has shifted away from the midline of your face, causing the
halving of the nasal cavity, and therefore, difficulty breathing). As a cosmetic procedure,
rhinoplasties can be used to remodel the tip of the nose, minimize the appearance of large and
upturned nostrils, and repair nasal asymmetries. For patients who want to reproportion the size
of their noses relative to the size of their faces, resize the bridge of their nose, reshape their
nostrils, change the contour of their nose profile, or do all of the above, a cosmetic rhinoplasty
procedure is likely right for you.
Rhinoplasty procedures can now be performed one of two ways: as an open rhinoplasty or as a
closed rhinoplasty. The essential difference between an open rhinoplasty and a closed
rhinoplasty is that a closed rhinoplasty procedure is designed in such a way that all the incisions
that are made during the surgery are endonasal (within the nose) while an open rhinoplasty is
designed to incorporate both the incisions made during a closed rhinoplasty and additional
incisions made on the patient’s columella (the fleshy exterior at the end of the nasal septum) in
order to bring about the nasal corrections that the patient desires.
According to statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, South Bay
rhinoplasty was the second most sought after surgical cosmetic procedure in 2011, with about
244,000 of the nose reshaping procedures performed that year. The popularity of the nose job
can perhaps be explained by the combination of growing societal acceptance of cosmetic
rhinoplasties- and of plastic surgery procedures in general- and modern developments within
the field of surgical techniques and instruments that have made virtually all plastic surgery
procedures safer, more efficient, and more cost-effective.

have a thorough and frank consult with their Plastic Surgeon Southy Bay before committing to
a rhinoplasty procedure. For more details you can visit.
